"The integration of development environments is quite technical, but in short, it is whether you use Nintendo’s original developing tool or a computer with readily available, standard developing tools when you develop video games for Nintendo platforms. Though we always try to create unique software content, we believe it would be efficient if we could integrate development tools. So, we are trying to gradually move toward the standard development tools from so-called “native” tools unique to Nintendo."

Q: Nintendo to stop developing their own game engines?

A: Yeah let's build everything with Unity.

It certainly caught my eye. Wonder what effect this will have going forward bad ones ?


Standard development tools means quicker porting between systems and easier development since programmers only need to specialize and consequentially be more efficient in a specific set of tools instead of 10 different ones. It also goes in to place with Nintendo's plan to integrate the devlopment environment of both their future handhelds and home consoles.

Sounds good to me.
