Just my opinion but after Iwata took over the Nintendo game (Heisenberg Style) he killed off all potential competition to Kyoto and that included NOA and NOE. Both are basically puppet states to Kyoto now. And that's a shame. Howard Lincoln did great things for NOA.

Are you having a laugh? Before Iwata NOE was a circus and the most irrelevant branch of any gaming company he sorted them out and put them on the path they're on today.

I didn't think that was even a NOE for the longest time. But I did know there was a NOA thanks to all the deals that Howard Lincoln pulled off. Plus NoA created Star Tropics which was one of my favorite games on NES. Iwata might have turned them on their current path, but he dismantled NOA which had their own developers and game deals. I think Nintendo would be in a much better state if this didn't happen.
