1-Up Studio Inc.[a] (stylized as "1-UP STUDIO"), formerly Brownie Brown Inc.,[b] is a Japanese video game developer founded on June 30, 2000, in Tokyo, Japan by Shinichi Kameoka and Kouji Tsuda, who worked on the Mana series. The studio developed games for both Nintendo and Square Enix, including Magical Vacation and Sword of Mana.
On February 1, 2013, the company announced that due to their recent co-development efforts with Nintendo, they were undergoing a change in internal structure. As a result, the company took on its current name. At the same time, Kameoka left to form a new studio, Brownies.
Since the 2010s, the company has mainly worked as a support studio to Nintendo EPD, with its staff mainly consisting of artists, game designers, and programmers.[3]
