Yeah, but that doesn't mean they'll always cost more.  Nintendo has some pretty aged and experienced developers.  And that cost money too.  Versus just voice acting jobs.


Oh, cmon... aged developers, I never saw this argument before!

"Square Enix leads the Japanese game industry in employee compensation, according to a ranking chart posted today by Nensyu Labo, a site that tracks salaries across various industries.

With an average salary of 21,680,000 yen, Square Enix Holdings is easily ahead of the rest of the industry. Sony comes in second with 9,230,000 yen. Nintendo follows with 9,140,000 yen."

And voice acting costs a lot, as far as I know.


Nintendos developers are veterns of the industry.  They've been in the game for a looong while ago.  Back during the arcade days. Experience usually tends to increase the rate your paid.
