Tomodachi Life was helmed by none other than Yoshio Sakamoto, whose last project was Other M.

yeah a corporate HQ is gonna look like a corporate HQ. it's not like the Disney CEO goes to work at cinderella's castle every day or whatever. whenever they show the interior, though, there's a lot of nintendo statues and framed art and some stuff painted on walls and all that jazz though so it does look distinctly Nintendo inside the building

Yeah, one of their company guides for investors and workers even had a fold out replica of the building two years ago. These guides are usually filled with concept art and other inside the building stuff we usually never get to see. This same one also revealed a dark secret about Isabelle. She used to wear those swirly nerd glasses.

The Square Enix HQ lobby has a huge sprawling piece of art by Amano taking up an entire wall, chock-full of odd creatures and interesting little details. Otherwise, it's a corporate building with a big ol' cube farm.

You sure it not build like Shinra Headquarters where there 70 floors and you have to take the stairs since you force to monster if you take the elevator. Square just really wants there employees to be fit.

So what does this mean for the future of Nintendo Consoles? I hope they don't try to compete with the PS4 and instead continue to try new things.

arcsig posted:I'm assuming the NX will continue to go in whatever direction it was going before. Doing a 180 and going completely against Iwata's vision now that he's gone would be not only extremely disrespectful but also a very bad PR move. Also Japanese companies generally don't turn on a dime just because of a change in management like in the US. Anyone who's going into the CEO chair's likely to keep the same ethos going rather than decide Nintendo should produce bread instead.

It's likely going to be another Artist as CEO too, because the candidates mentioned so far are people who have designed software and hardware. So not, like, a business/numbers guy. I wonder though if what happened to iPhone post-Jobs will happen to 3DS, where Nintendo decides to keep releasing new hardware iterations of 3DS with faster processor/chip but doesn't reinvent the wheel with a brand new portable concept.

So not, like, a business/numbers guy. Not really. Jobs was pretty much the one guy pushing his initiative on Apple (each new iteration should improve on the previous), and once he was gone no-one else gave two shits so long as the money kept coming in. Nintendo's upper-management seem to all share the same general doctrine and try to keep it instilled in the departments so losing Iwata's not as bad. It's still very sad though  .

I'm sure they are staying the course. I don't think their base architecture of power pc is as big a problem as people think since high level interpreters and languages and dev tools just keep getting better, so I think they will put out something roughly on the same growth path as before, with its own charm, but easier for third parties to work with without restrictions or requirements. Really I think they can satisfy a lot of people by just having 250gb hard drive built in and a poo poo ton of ram, and a new online network run by DeNA with more modern features like party chat, while still having their interesting new concept. Especially if they can be no hassle backwards compatible from the get go since there are a ton of WiiU games people who don't own one want to play. I think they'll probably start a PS+ like service as well where they can push third party and indie games to people and say to developers "If you make a good game and people aren't buying it, WE will buy it and push it to users, and they will want to buy your next one". I really hope but severely doubt Reggie Fils-Aime gets put in charge. I feel like he understands the needs of non Japanese consumers much better, but also really understands and respects Nintendo's creative philosophy and wouldn't betray it. And when he says Iwata became a personal friend I believe him. There's like zero chance though. greatn fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Jul 14, 2015 |

I really just want a dedicated account that says "you bought SMB3, and you can play it forever on all and future Nintendo devices" basically Nintendo should just make a Super PS4 and turn it into a 1TB steam machine and offer every game possible from their catalog on a digital menu for purchase

Put the yarn yoshi lady in charge. "I wanted to help with this game, but I am not an artist, have no programming skills, am not trained in business, and do not know how to use a computer, so I went home and began to bake cookies in the shape of a disc. That's why the next Mario game is cookie Mario, and the box contains a cookie instead of a disc. Please do not eat it until after you finish the game."

So not, like, a business/numbers guy. What made me hopeful about Iwata's plans (from what he's said in investor meetings/Q&As at least) is that he understood the issues with that and it sounded like they were actively addressing it, along with the online stuff with DeNA, and generally a lot of stuff that's been holding them back for a while. My biggest concern is if others in the company don't fully see/understand what he had in mind in the long run with all that, like beyond NX. greatn posted:I really hope but severely doubt Reggie Fils-Aime gets put in charge.

I mean I guess New 3DS is kind of like an iPhone iteration, where 99% of games still work on both devices but the games take advantage of the new 3DS' specs to run/load/look better. Maybe they could continue in that trend, but I wouldn't want them to do it every year. My iPad 3 is only three years old and it's right at the point where Apple is going to cut it out of the next iOS. I also wonder how long they will continue to do dual-screen handhelds. The next piece of hardware should certainly be powerful enough to output a second screen to a TV if you wanted to do backwards compatibility with DS/3DS titles. And the Vita was such good fuckin hardware to hold and play with, even though it was a miserable failure on the software side. But I dunno. Nintendo might feel the clamshell works best as a device that kids also play on, for durability's sake.
