(BTW Yes, this is real… well, as far as I’m aware. Supper Mario Broth report actual recountings from Nintendo employees.)

I told this before. Miyamoto is a strange dude. Back when my friend worked at R*  and R* was giving Iwata and Shiggy a tour of the NY office as I believe it was at the time they were working on China Town on DS in the morning. My friend pulled an all nighter and fell asleep at his desk. Miyamoto sees a worker asleep and starts screaming and yelling. Waking my friend up and Iwata had to calm him down.

If this is true, at least crunch seems to be mostly gone at Nintendo now. Early GameCube games were pretty quickly developed, and Majora's Mask was quickly developed as well.

Crunch time or not, the NES and SNES was when they were at their creative peak. They didn't just make Zelda, Maro and Metroid Games. They invented Zelda, Mario and Metroid games. It came out of their minds, out of thin air, and with no road to go by. There were no prior installments to refine and build off of. Yet they were able to dream them up. So if that's what Nintendo crunch time produces, perhaps--at least within their company--it's not such a bad thing.
