Nintendo just announced that it is renaming its subsidiary company 'Warpstar Inc.' to 'Nintendo Stars Inc.' following its consolidation earlier this year.
As most may know, Warpstar Inc. (founded on 31st July 2001) had previously been a joint venture between Nintendo and Hal Laboratory to oversee the Kirby franchise, expanding it into other mediums such as the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! anime series back in 2001. Warpstar Inc. became an official subsidiary of Nintendo on 1st April earlier this year.
Nintendo Stars will be responsible for "the ancillary-use business tied to films that feature Nintendo Intellectual Property". In other words, it'll focus on the expansion of movie adaptations into other ventures, such as events, merchandise, licensing etc.. Nintendo Stars will also continue the Kirby franchise's expansion into other mediums.
