They've been doing that WiiBox3. They have Monolith, Project Sora, Retro has hired ex-Naughty Dog staff, and there's more I'm not familiar with that others can say.
They have been hiring, have been expanding. I'm just not sure of the details. |
you're forgetting that development budgets for HD games are larger (meaning man power). a few hires here and there probably doesn't mean more games just the need for more people to say even with prior productivity. when nintendo was raking in billion dollar yearly profits they should have been investing that in studio expansions.

They are... They're building a giant new headquarters in Kyoto that will allow them to further expand in-house development teams, and they purchased Monolift Soft in 2007. Plus, as has been pointed out by other already, they are doing a lot of franchise sequels with third-party contractors like Next Level and Monster Games.

a) buildings don't make games.
b) when opening the new facitilities the old ones are to be closed. this is more about consolidation the hardware/software guys to be together then expansion.
