Hopefully this will lead to many good things! Only time will tell obviously.

Yeah, this isn't really about the new prez. We've been hearing this buzz for over a year now, and I think it partly involves the move to the new HQ. I do like seeing Koizumi 's role increasing. His team is the best they have.

They will have better communication, better awareness of other teams work and progress, efficient exchange of ideas, they can help each other....basically all positive staffs, especially now when they will make games just for one Nintendo platform.


I don't see why any of that wasn't possible with two divisions. It's not like Mario had any effect on the developement on Metroid. They never had any need for better communication. They worked on completely different software. I guess they could help each other now, but I don't see how that will be more possible now than it was before. Pretty sure Monolith and Retro weren't part of EAD, but they helped a ton with their games.

Againm the only reason I see this effecting anything is is the teams working on specific franchises intercept. Like Aonuma working on the next Metroid or something. Otherwise, this doesn't really change anything. Same studios working on the same games as independantly as they always did.

This just seems to me to be a part of their unified system. Bring everything together, like what seems to be the rumor for the nx, merge handheld and console, so bring all their development teams into one roof. Or maybe I'm way off. I propably am.

All above that I already mentioned and they will managed division more easier, also there is no really need to have separate divisions for game development especially now when Nintendo plan is unified platform for future.

Hmmmm. I sure hope they don't do any bad decisions. I know some companies who did restructuring when their president died, and it hurt them severely.

can you name one?

Scott Paper. It was the world's largest manufacturer and marketer of sanitary tissue products with operations in 22 countries. It fell because of its restructuring.

 

Seems to me like he did a pretty good job...


"In his first nine months as CEO, Dunlap divested over $2 billion worth of assets. Scott’s share price rose from $37.35 to $84.62—an increase of 225 percent in 18 months. Scott reported a $200 million profit in 1994, compared to the net loss of $277 million recorded in 1993."

Source: the internet. Just because a corporation becomes smaller doesn't mean it becomes "worse".

You realize he literally cut the company in half in order to sell it?

Actually all this was Iwata plan, also like NX, mobile phone games, Amiibo, using IP in toys, cartoons, movies..

Restructuring was Iwata's plan?

You realize that he made it so that the company made half a billion more per year?

I'd rather have a company half the size making twice as much money (and this was more than just twice as much money...) Than a company twice the size making half as much money.... Also, he divested 2 billion, and the company was sold for 7 billion. Last I checked, 2 wasn't half of 9.

OfCourse, Iwata mentioned merging divisions few years ago that will go side along with merging platforms.
