Company profile

They were recruited by Nintendo to work on mini-games in Wii Play: Motion for the Wii. According to their portion of the credits of the game, as many as a dozen of former Artoon and Sega employees now work at Arzest.

They worked on additional new features of one of the main Nintendo 3DS built-in software applications StreetPass Mii Plaza, such as adding SpotPass features to Puzzle Swap among others.

Arzest has since released several retail games on the 3DS: Yoshi's New Island in 2014, Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in 2016, and Hey! Pikmin in 2017.
