| By April 2006, many of Nd Cube'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]]'' released March 3, 2012, both games for the Wii console. |
