History

The company itself consists of many ex-Square Co., Ltd. 2D artists, who had participated on the development of "Legend of Mana". Two of its founders had previously worked on the award-winning "Seiken Densetsu" series on the Game Boy and Super Nintendo gaming consoles. Nintendo trademarked the Brownie Brown name, the meaning of the name is that according to Brownie Brown's website, a Brownie is a hard working elf, and the elf that is on their logo, is named Brown, thus he is the Brownie Brown. [ [http://gonintendo.com/?p=16049 Go Nintendo » Blog Archive » New Nintendo trademarks] ] The founders left Square due to "differing ideals."

The company's first original creation was the Japan-only "Magical Vacation" for the Game Boy Advance, which was released in 2001. Another popular title developed by Brownie Brown was "Sword of Mana", which was created for and published by Square Enix. Thought to be a new title in the "Seiken Densetsu" series, it was actually an enhanced remake of the first game in the series, "" (known as "Mystic Quest" in Europe and "Final Fantasy Adventure" in North America).

Brownie Brown has also been credited with the development of "Mother 3" in a collaborative effort with Shigesato Itoi and HAL Laboratory, and "Magical Starsign" ("Magical Vacation: When the Five Stars Align" in Japan) for the Nintendo DS.

While Brownie Brown has only released video games for Nintendo's handheld video game systems up to this point, the company had previously announced a title for the Nintendo GameCube, named "Gofuku", which was scheduled for release in 2005 and was announced alongside "Magical Vacation: When the Five Stars Align".
