| By April 2006, many of NDcube's employees at the time had moved to other companies, including Nintendo and [[Square Enix]].

The company is now headed by Hidetoshi Endo, who was the former President of [[Hudson Soft]]. In addition, the key employees of the ''[[Mario Party]]'' team at Hudson have also joined the company. Nd Cube released ''Wii Party'' in 2010 and developed ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' which was released on March 2, 2012, both games for the [[Wii]] console. |
| | | In November 22, 2013 (January 17/18 2014 in PAL regions), ND Cube developed ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' on the [[3DS]]. |
| As of June 2019, the former president Hidetoshi Endo resigned, and the company's chief creative director [[Shuichiro Nishiya]] was promoted to the president. On September 1, 2024, the company was renamed Nintendo Cube.<ref>{{cite|date=September 1, 2024|url=https://www.nintendo-cube.co.jp/|title=商号（社名）変更に関するお知らせ|publisher=nintendo-cube.co.jp|language=ja|accessdate=September 2, 2024|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20240902134547/https://www.nintendo-cube.co.jp/}}</ref> As part of the rebranding, the company adopted a new logo based on that of [[1-UP Studio]] with an identical font, albeit with a blue color scheme instead of green.
