Err... with that money they could have bought ATLUS themselves instead. What is Nintendo doing?! -.-

This building was funded and paid for long before Atlus put itself up for sale. 2008.

Also, based on measruing the building and the expected number of floors, I figure they are paying about $280 per sq foot which is about what you'd expect for the region.

That is an excellent point.

I still think they should buy SEGA though. ^^

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.
