History

In February 2015, the studio announced that it would work exclusively with Nintendo from then on.

In February 2022, Nintendo announced that it had purchased Next Level Games after "A number of owner-directors recently determined that the time is right for them to sell their shares, and NLG therefore began exploring potential sale transactions". This acquisition took place on April 4.
