 Given that he is currently working on the Ghost Busters video game I am going to say he has signed far more than you. Also, it is absolutely ridiculous to think the showing of a simple piece of hardware would be banned. There is no great secret that will be revealed by seeing the outside of a dev kit that exists in plenty of places through-out the industry. There are likely thousands of people who could go snap a photo of it with relative ease if they wanted to, and so putting some big secret on the outside of the box would just be stupid.

 

There's a big fat warning on the front of the box that says "Confidential Property of Nintendo, Not for Release" as in "public release" as in "public viewing".

I don't know if they've revoked any developer licenses as a result, but I'm sure Nintendo is NOT fond of NDEVs being displayed in any public medium.

Though, Nnoo also had their NDEV pictured in an issue of GamesTM so maybe NoE is more lenient on this (as Nibris is also presumably licensed under NoE as well).

And no, unless he's the CEO of the company, he might not have signed one at all as companies sign their own internal NDAs. A license agreement only requires an NDA to be signed by one person who represents the organization.

 

lol that's what you're going off of?  That means you can't sell it.  It's not that hard to understand.

And every employee of every studio signs an NDA.  It's what keeps me (well, that and the fear of losing my job if I did tell you all the company secrets) from telling you every single little detail I could go on and on about.  I don't know why I would have to be a CEO to have an NDA about a Wii, Hell, I have a 360 dev kit sitting in my office.
