The team that designed Splatoon is actually taken from the core Animal Crossing team. Around ten of the younger staff within the Animal Crossing team were put together to begin working on Splatoon. They were also joined by the director of the Star Fox 64 3D remake, and one of the directors who worked on Nintendo Land.
