Overview

  • Nintendo Pictures, formerly Dynamo Pictures, is listed in the credits for motion capture on Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which released June 25 as a PS5 exclusive.
  • Nintendo acquired Dynamo Pictures in 2022 to focus on visual content using Nintendo IP while maintaining separate motion capture services.
  • Some of the studio’s work on Death Stranding 2 may stem from contracts secured before the 2022 acquisition, continuing its involvement from the original Death Stranding.
  • Since the takeover, Nintendo Pictures has contributed to major Nintendo releases including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4 and Super Mario RPG.
  • This credit appearance underscores the studio’s ongoing non-Nintendo collaborations, following post-acquisition work on Toei Animation’s Pretty Cure anime.
