The people in charge at Nintendo have in one Message announced that an agreement for a takeover has been reached with Next Level Games. The Canadian developer studio has been one of Nintendo's closest partners for many years. With the deal, the company wants to further promote the cooperation. In addition, Next Level Games has access to internal resources.
There are no financial details about the takeover. Nintendo will acquire 100 percent of the shares.
