'''{{wp|Nintendo Cube|Nintendo Cube Co., Ltd.}}''' (formerly '''Nd Cube Co., Ltd.''' and '''NDcube Co., Ltd.''') is a Japanese video game developer and subsidiary of [[Nintendo]]. Originally founded on March 1, 2000, as a joint venture between Nintendo and advertising firm Dentsu (the "Nd" in the former name reflecting this), Dentsu's stake was bought out by Nintendo in 2010 and Nintendo now owns 99% of Nintendo Cube.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Iwata-Asks/Iwata-Asks-Wii-Party/Iwata-Asks-Wii-Party/1-A-Team-with-Experience-Making-Party-Games/1-A-Team-with-Experience-Making-Party-Games-224354.html</ref> The company is based in Tokyo but also has a secondary office Sapporo. Nintendo Cube is responsible for developing the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] starting with ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', although its first developed game since becoming a subsidiary of Nintendo is ''{{wp|Wii Party}}''.
'''Nd Cube Co., Ltd.''' (Japanese: エヌディーキューブ株式会社 Enudī Kyūbu Kabushiki Gaisha) is a [[Nintendo]] subsidiary and Japanese video game developer based in Japan with offices in Tokyo and Sapporo. Nd Cube is a fully owned Nintendo subsidiary as of August, 2010. Originally the company was founded March 1, 2000 through a joint venture between Nintendo and advertising firm Dentsu, hence the Nd in the name.


By April 2006, many of Nd Cube's employees at the time had moved to other companies, including Nintendo and [[Square Enix]]. At a later point, however, several former employees of [[Hudson Soft]], and Nintendo-Hudson joint venture Monegi Inc., moved to the company, mainly various staff that had worked on the Hudson-developed ''Mario Party'' games, including former president Hidetoshi Endo, who became the president of NDcube.
By April 2006, many of the Nd Cube's employees had migrated to other companies, such as 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.


As of June 2019, Hidetoshi Endo resigned, and the company's chief creative director [[Shuichiro Nishiya]] replaced him as 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 Mario Club and [[1-UP Studio]] with an identical font, albeit with their pre-established blue color scheme instead of red or green, respectively.
