So, the thing with Alpha Dream is that after they shut down a number of them went to Nintendo so it might just be made by the same people just at Nintendo now. Edit: Correction, apparently most went to ILCA and some went to Nintendo/Monolith Soft.

This would be far from this first time Nintendo has done something like this: NDcube seems to be comprised primarily of former Hudson Soft employees who worked on the Mario Party series before the Konami buyout, and Nintendo basically sat on the Cruis'n IP until Raw Thrills, led by the original creator of the series back at Midway, asked if they could work on a new entry.

Chronological Metal Gear is MGS3, portable ops, Peace Walker, MGSV, MG1, MG2, MGS1, MGS2, MGS4, Rising Of course half the prequels are filler and the gameplay goes back and forth so it's never really advised to be played chronologically anyway. Release order is much more simple to digest
