Mr Khan said: They are building a new R&D Center in Kyoto, and so long as they aren't just using it to replace the current building, i would imagine that would come with a large expansion of core NCL personnel I agree that the main ailment seems to be a lack of development capacity and studios, but this isn't something that can just be executed willy-nilly without sacrificing quality |
To be honest, that quality sacrifice already has happened this gen slightly with the Wii. Nintendo had SSBB, Mario Kart, Galaxy 2, Wii Fit, and Wii Sports; but none of their other titles improved upon past formulas, whether the game's were sequels or contained similar content.
Wii Music, Flingsmash, Animal Crossing, Super Paper Mario, etc...those games showed a mark downturn in average Nintendo quality.
As for if they need to expand? I say no. They just have to make better content with the teams they do have and actually continue to promote quality. That includes localizing games everywhere instead of exclusively in a smaller market.
