IGN - Tantalus details how they came to work on Twilight Princess HD, excited about NX

Coming from an IGN interview with Tantalus CEO, Tom Crago...

“Nintendo approached us. We had worked with them before on Top Gear Rally on GBA, and had remained in close contact in the intervening period. I guess they were impressed by the work we’d done on Mass Effect 3, which was a launch title on Wii U. It’s not every day someone from Nintendo asks you if you’d be interested in making a Zelda game, so definitely it was happy moment. By that stage Tantalus had shipped around thirty games on Nintendo platforms, and so certainly it felt like a natural fit. A huge thrill, but a natural fit.

We worked with Nintendo very closely. A dedicated team in Kyoto worked with us throughout the duration of the project, and senior members of our team made several trips to Japan."

Nintendo and Tantalus have no doubt built a stronger relationship over the years, culminating in Twilight Princess HD. Can we expect to see Tantalus bringing some content to NX? Mr. Crago played coy when asked, but did say that he's "very excited" about the platform.
