It's not in a very classy area of town, and Kyoto itself isn't very metropolitan (unlike neighboring Osaka). I went there, now two years ago (man am i starting to feel old), and the Nintendo building is well off of Kyoto's main drag, kind of in the middle of nowhere (with a simple 7-11 right across the street)

Thanks for the info. This coupled with that insight into a normal working day at Nintendo (was posted on GAF a couple months back) paints a bleak picture working at Nintendo. They should more to somewhere more upmarket and maybe work on staff morale .... great things might happen!
Uniting their handheld and home console departments is something Nintendo should have done 15 years ago when it was becoming increasingly obvious that communication between various hardware gadgets was the future of technology. Nintendo did some early trials and errors with N64 and Game Boy Color at the end of the 1990s, continued with GameCube and Game Boy Advance in the early years of the last decade, but never really went all the way. It is now obvious why they failed. It's virtually impossible to coordinate two different development divisions. The only solution to that probem is to unite them into one division. GameCube could have had a a completely diffrent outcome if Nintendo had done that 15 years ago, when they started development of it and the Game Boy Advance.
The same goes with online support. Nintendo did some trials and errors early in the 1990s both with NES and SNES, continued experimenting a little with N64 and 64DD, and had all the skills and knowledge necessary to have the best online strategy from 2001 and onward with GameCube, Wii and Wii U. Instead they reversed and fell hopelessly behind their competitors.
This new HQ, and what it represents, is an important step for Nintendos future. 15 years too late, but better late than never. It'll be interesting to see if this will lead to any hardware and software miracles for the generation after 3DS and Wii U.

I though that was the old one. Am I missing something here?

Atleast it doesn't have a handle.

Yes, all of the other posts in the thread, apparently.
