So NOE will be doing European localisation by using contractors instead of using in-house personnel?

That's the only issue that could come from this news. I wonder if the quality of the localisation would lower after outsourcing

What worries me is that localisation takes longer or localisation doesn't happen at all for certain titles. It could also mean that Nintendo feels the western european population have strong enough english skills that they dont need to translate games to german/italian/french and so on.
