Koizumi ?
I'm joking lol
I don't know for sure but I remember reading that the Super Mario Sunshine guys went to EAD Tokyo to form part of it. Oh, and according to Wikipedia (yeah..) Yoshiaki Koizumi directed Super Mario Sunshine, followed by Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat and now the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy (which add more to the first part of the post).

Very interesting. Thanks ! I have the convinction that sunshine could have been a much better game if Nintendo had a little bit more time to polish it.

Mario`s Great Space Adventure
For the first time in eight months, new screens! Introducing Super Mario Galaxy!
Big, small, travel around all kinds of planets to rescue Princess Peach!!
Peach is in trouble...again! To save the dragged-off Peach, Mario jumps into space! The platforming action spreads to new locales as Mario travels between planets large and small and faces off against enemies new and old. What kind of adventure lies in wait this time?
Freely Run About on the Surface
Every planet has challenges and things to explore. Planets come in all shapes and sizes, and have various gadgets. Sometimes there are platforms to travel across, too.
Inside, too!?
Mario runs up and down the walls of this stage as gravity changes direction. Is this the inside of a star?
Space is full of gadgets and bad guys!
To save Princess Peach, Mario jumps into space and develops new powers, fights tough baddies and uses tonnes of gadgets to morph and take on challenges. Let`s introduce the mysterious worlds and characters that he will meet during this adventure!
Lady of Mystery: Rosetta
Out of the light comes the lady of mystery, Rosetta - a woman of translucent beauty. If Mario falls for her, will Peach escape by herself and lay into him!? She doesn`t seem like a baddie: does Mario receive new powers from her?
Bowser and Petey Pirahna!
Some familiar faces power up. Bowser`s fire breath, is always, terrifying, but it`s a shock to see that Petey has developed almost dinosaur levels of power.
Travel through Water
Mario can travel rapidly through water with a Koopa shell. Are those Torpedo Teds chasing him from behind!?
Wrecked Spaceship
Mario travels the surface of a wrecked spaceship. Ambushed by enemies from four directions, he seems to be in a bit of a pinch. Better escape quickly and rush off to find Peach!
Castle of the Queen of the Bees
The kindly queen doesn`t seem like an enemy, but this `FLY` meter is a bit worrying...
The Gigantic Insect Tucks In!?
This insect moves from apple to apple, digging right in! There is really nothing but mysterious places here.
(Series history)
(E3 data)
Boiiing! Jump from Star to Star!
Using this star-like device, Mario can progress by jumping from planet to planet. Each stage is made up of several tiny planets dotted all over the place. While travelling between them, the pointer can be used to attract elastic collectibles to Mario, like playing Pachinko. Space is loaded with all kinds of gadgets!
Move with the Pointer!
The stars in the centres of these spherical bodies are called "Star Catchers". Mario can fluffily float through space by connecting between them. Choose which point to travel to next using the pointer.
Collect Stars for a 1-Up!
When the damage meter in the top-right of the screen is emptied, Mario will sadly perish. Still, if you collect the "Star Pieces" that are scattered all over the place, Mario will get a 1-Up! Collect loads to avoid Game Over. On top of that, it seems Star Pieces can be used to power a special attack. But what kind of attack could that possibly be?
Yes, but I whas referring to the "Sunshine team" and the games afterwards regarding the EAD Tokyo team (so Sunshine, DK:JB and Galaxy).Tristam said:
I believe that too. Regardless, I think Sunshine is still one of the best last-gen platformers made eventhough it had some flaws and could have been better but that's another story.Cygnus X-1 said:

i'm curious about the music notes
All platforms have stand out games (visually) that often remain unmatched by others efforts. Rogue Squadron II GC, for instance, was far ahead of pretty much anything else on the GC until RSIII was released. What about XBOX? Games like Wreckless were WAY ahead of anything else at the time of release and then later titles like Riddick only further impressed. Same deal with PS2 and some of its best games.dude said:
I'm sure this will be the case with Mario Galaxy...

You're not really basing this on anything, though. I can just as easily say that Nintendo's never really had the reputation as a company that has pushed graphics on their hardware, whereas Factor 5 has always been known as a graphics powerhouse since the Amiga days.

It's as if Nintendo found a bottle of concentrated awesomeness and poured it all over the game.
As for why it looks better than pretty much every wii game, im almost certain that in the original developer documents there was a typo and instead of saying "The Wii's graphics capabilities = Gamecube Graphics x 2" it said "The Wii's graphics capabilities = Gamecube Graphics / 2" either that or developers are just really ****ing lazy... I'm gonna be nice though and give them the benefit of the doubt.

WTF. That is complete nonsense. Factor 5 wasn't a graphic powerhouse on the Amiga, SNES or Genesis. It wasn't until the Rogue Squadron engine (developed a by new set of programmers) that the company has become technologically relevant.
Nintendo has produced countless of of technically sound games that pushed the envelope of the hardware at the time. Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Bros. 3, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Pilotwings, F-Zero etc.

The Turrican games were always pretty damn awesome looking. I can't remember an ugly Factor 5 game (when considering the competitions timeframe) Even that one arena playstation one game that I can't recall the name of was doing some interesting things for it's time. Nintendo has done some great games (and don't take this the wrong way, as I am one of the biggest Nintendo fans on this forum) but they've never really been considered a graphical powerhouse. Their games have always looked solid, colorful, and have always had a great art style. That's always been their strength. It's the strength of the majority of the games you've listed above. (save for Super Mario 64 which was the best looking game on the console until Ocarina came out) But third parties were usually the ones who pushed the graphics of the hardware Nintendo created.
