This is especially true in Japan where there has been such a massive exodus of AAA developers from their respective companies... If Nintendo were really keen on snatching up these developers, they could've offered lucrative positions to Yuju Naka, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Keiji Inafune, Tomonobu Itagaki, Keita Takahashi and others. These men are more than capable of building up their own teams once given the funds. I would have especially liked to see Yuju Naka (Sonic, NiGHTS) and Takahashi (Katamary series) running another Intelligent Systems type of studio.. That would ROCK! |
That would also be an interesting move, though several of those guys already have their own studios. Heck, they're making a new R&D center so they'd probably like to scout new talent. They could make more development devoted specifically to certain genres or tastes that some of Nintendo's other teams don't do.
