| Screamapillar said: This intrigues me. I'm looking forward to Iwata (hopefully) mentioning this at Nintendo's investors meeting in two weeks. Since Nintendo no longer announces games or game details at these things (since Nintendo Directs began), it should leave more than enough time to delve into what kind of changes are occuring within the organization structure of internal teams. We already know Miyamoto has moved himself away from overseeing major EAD projects and instead is finishing up Pikmin 3 with his hand-picked team and then moving onto smaller games with newer staff that need supervision. I believe Takashi Tezuka is taking over as head of EAD development. He's got an impressive list of games on his resume, I look forward to E3 and seeing what kind of output the teams are making under his leadership. There'll no doubt be some subtle changes. |
Yeah, I think, or at least hope, the realignment isn't just for simple cost savings but anchors a longer term plan that affects gaming. Iwata if anything has been honest in the past, quickly took a 50% paycut, apologized, so I really don't expect him to do a PR spin on the state of Wii U. So I hope Nintendo's been working hard at putting together a respectable 2013 line up for the Wii U.
