Geez what is with the modesty today at Nintendo haha.

For the past month, Nintendo has been reflecting on many thingsthey have done wrong in the past, and more recent mistakes; I like it.

They have touched base on many issues they have encountered and are making efforts to rectify it.

With all the attention placed on hiring skilled creative/eccentric people, making "core" games harder, revitalizing Zelda, releasing 3 classics on the Virtual Console in 1 week, increased 3rd party cooperation, and enforced marketing/advertising Nintendo is plugging every leak. Ifthey come through on their promises:

 

2010 will be a very dangerous year for Nintendo's competitors; Nintendo is going for knock-outs.

But yea but if there is any developer that has bragging rights it is Miyamoto... he doesn't need to be so modest all the time haha.  Oh well I guess he boasts around every now and then.

 

And yea NIntendo has been making strides lately but they've been doing that for years... just making it more PR right now it seems.  But I think most of the development "slowing" simply had to do with some internal issues (mainly connections with second party developers) and simply their usual long development processes for key games.  But seems like they are back with it now.

In Japanese society, modesty, even extreme modest, is the norm. The arrogance you see from some Japanese game developers/CEOs comes from the fact that money corrupts. The Japanese do not praise their own work, or others' work, very often, but they will criticize their own.
