Nintendo's New Development Program "Garage" Splits Developers Into Small Teams To Create New Ideas

Miyamoto:

"Splatoon and the three prototypes are the first games to emerge from Garage, a new Nintendo development programme set up last year in which developers break off into small teams and work on new ideas. "There are increasing numbers of young staff at Nintendo's development studios these days," Miyamoto says, "and these young guys really want to express themselves." Work is done during office hours, but he compares Garage to an after-school club, in spirit if not in schedule. "Class time's over: they gather together and think about new projects completely apart from their everyday business assignments. When all of those projects have advanced to a certain stage, we gather together and exchange opinions on the outcome of each of them, and together we decide which ones should continue. We may have shown several software titles at E3 [that came from Garage], but there are many others in development too."

"Many others" aren't two, right?

My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

I always liked the way how nintendo innovates, and it does not seem like it's going to stop anytime soon.

Depends. They seem to be getting a lot of new recruits by the way he's talking.

It also sounds like fresher, better ideas. Nice to see this initiative. Why would they keep this under wraps for so long?

"The three prototypes" huh...

EDIT: Wait, StarFox is a prototype :(

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Miyamoto's three projects probably came from this, and Splatoon makes four. It wouldn't surprise me if the new Star Fox came from this as well.

It seems as though it was created to meet all the new people they were getting. Miyamoto did mention that he would be doing something like this back in 2011-12 I think.
