Dynamo Pictures has provided motion capture services for games like Persona 5 and Death Stranding. According to documents that Nintendo shared in July, the deal would be completed by today, 3rd October 2022. It looks like Nintendo has officially launched the new company as the official website of Nintendo Pictures is live now (only in Japanese at the time of writing this article). Nintendo Pictures should not be confused with Nintendo Studios, currently working on the animated Super Mario film starring Chris Pratt. Nintendo Pictures aims to incorporate the existing characters from Nintendo Games into videos. Nintendo Pictures will work more towards the CG videos and motion capture used in games instead of full-length films like Nintendo Studios. The newly launched website clearly describes the intentions of Nintendo Pictures and what their plans are: The message on the website expresses the determination of the team behind Nintendo Pictures and shows where they are headed: Yoshiaki Koizumi is appointed as the director of Nintendo Pictures who is a senior executive officer at Nintendo Co. You might have seen Koizumi at events like Nintendo Direct as the host. He also has contributed to Mario and The Legend of Zelda games. Twitter user @Stealth40k revealed further details about Nintendo Pictures. The company already has 100 employees and will be recruiting more in November, according to the tweet.
