Revered games developer Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that Nintendo is looking to increase their internal staff in an effort to have more upcoming projects going on at the same time. Miyamoto says that this will not only see more games produced, but it also gives the teams a chance to revisit existing franchises that the fans are clamouring for.
Nintendo of America is once again facing labor complaints from one or more of its workers. Game File reports that new charges accuse the Switch 2 manufacturer of violating sections of the National Labor Relations Act dealing with worker organizing and related union activities. These come just a few years after the company settled a previous labor charge with a former tester for $26,000.
Today, Nintendo announced with a press release that it has entered into an agreement with Bandai Namco Studios to acquire Bandai Namco Studios Singapore.
Ya scary , seems more like a talent acquisition more then anything , nothing IP related
Great news! It's good to hear that they want to maintain the quality of the games on the Switch 2.
Shigeru Miyamoto recalls a story from Pokémon creator Satoshi Tajiri, explaining how a lighthearted remark led to the creation of Pokémon Red and Green.
Hope that includes new IPs. Sorry to say but Nintendo needs to get outta the past and be more open-minded.
I'm curious why this is being done now instead of, say, back in 2009 when they sold out of the Wii, the sold 25 million copies of NSMB Wii and 31 million copies of Sports Resort.
Why is the money in the war chest only being invested NOW?!? We won't see the fruits of staff increases for several years.
Now this is what I like to hear. Nintendo has so much money in the bank, they are the number one publisher in the world (not fanboy opinion, just facts, check for yourself) and yet they're so understaffed. If Nintendo is scared to let third parties handle series like Star Fox or F-Zero (even though GX is the best in the series and was made by Sega and to be honest Assault wasn't that bad) then it's time to be proactive and fix what's wrong internally. Hope Nintendo follows through with this and isn't hot air, something they've been good at recently.
Hey Nintendo, pick up the ex Lucas Arts developers.
but i really like having 2 great games per generation, it makes them more special! why would i want more?
