I don't think Nintendo has a team JUST working on updates and ways to improve their interface, and if they do it's definitely smallish...

Their company is all about small teams. If you look at the Iwata Asks, it makes Wii Motion Plus sound like it was developed by three people in a garage. Microsoft probably has 50 engineers working full-time on Natal and they can't get a product out within a year of the leader.

Nintendo does love to work with small but dedicated teams. Small teams = low overhead costs. Their games need a long development time since they have to add something new or fresh every time. That takes a lot of experimentation and mainly time. Doing that with big teams is simply too expensive. See at the costs of FF or GTA.       

@ Asriel & Stefan: I agree wholeheartedly! It's actually one of the things I've always liked about Nintendo, they are a Large company in essences(sp?), but behave like a small developer, lol.
