I agree. It hardly looks like the center of the gaming universe. It looks more like a vault. Maybe they just want something sturdy to keep all those extra yen in.


You guys know that Japan is a small country with a huge problem of lack of land space, right?

Building projects in Japan must be as small and smart as possible. Not sure about what kind of infra-structure that building may have (fire security, energy and water distribution, communications structure, air/heating etc.), but Nintendo does not have as many employees as Sony or MS, so that must be enough/adequate for its needs.

lol, I had no idea Japan had a lot of people and not much land!!  I also didn't realise every building in Japan was a boring white cube.  Oh wait, they're not.  Here's the Tokyo skyline:

The point is just that Nintendo headquarters is very boring, architecturally.  I'm sure it's very practical and functional, and I'm sure that's what they were going for.  It's a solid decision.  But it's still boring looking - though not ugly.
