Nintendo at present is going about this the wrong way. You can't measure creativity and passion by what degree you have.

These corporations, they suck the life out of creativity and innovation with their formulaic adherence to standards.

Another nice tidbit. The Pokemon creator (Satoshi Tajiri) has Asperger's (a group that is immensely discriminated against in the work place even though it's clear that many of them can make a positive contribution to society). If his first employer in the gaming industry (I believe it was Namco?) did the typical corporate thing to do (overlook him in the job interview because he has poor social skills), there would be no Pokemon today.

There are so many creative, eccentric talents out there that would have been shut out of the industry if their employer stuck to the sterile, strict adherence to standards.
