MUTAN has acquired Brownies, the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals.
The article showcases an interview with Hiroyuki Watanabe, the head of MUTAN, and Shinichi Kameoka, who holds the position of chairman at Brownies.
Kameoka shared that, given Brownies was made up solely of developers, he had faced challenges finding a suitable successor. In an attempt to resolve this issue, he contacted Watanabe, who had experience working at Brownie Brown, inviting him to consider taking on the role of president.
Initially, I hadn’t thought about selling my gaming company, but as time passed, I felt it was best for its future, especially post-my departure. So, I proposed the idea to Watanabe, hoping it would streamline things after I’m gone. Luckily, he saw the potential and the ball started rolling from there.
Kameoka explained that what prompted him to speak with Watanabe was witnessing a small company exhibiting their brand at the Tokyo Game Show, enjoying themselves in the process. He admitted that he had thought to himself, “What on earth am I doing? Aren’t these people living out my dreams and ambitions?
Originally established as an independent studio named Brownie Brown on June 30, 2000, the company later transformed into a subsidiary of Nintendo, known as 1-Up Studio, on February 1, 2013. During that same year, Kameoka departed to start up a new venture called Brownies.
Amongst the memorable creations I’ve adored from Brownies, there are three standouts that have left a lasting impression on me: “Fantasy Life Link!”, “Egglia: Legend of the Redcap”, and “Doraemon Story of Seasons”.
Thanks, Ryokutya2089.
