it looks as  though  noa  is  going  to  get alot  bigger.  Heres hoping they use that space  for  game  development.

How much does NOA develop, anyway?  I was under the impression that it was used for the translation and localization of Japanese games, approval of third-party games, and marketing.

...Hence that's probably why you mentioned them needing more room for game development, hmmm.  >_<

I'm sure Reggie could program an asskicking program in BASIC.

More translation capacity would be nice, especially in the case of NoE.

Well they have made a few Gamecube titles. (I think they made Blue Storm. It not NOA but the development studio they have under that roof.)

Well it is also good news that they are expanding their American Operations, since they are recently expanded the number of development houses they have in Japan. Hopefully this will free up Retro to make more than Metroid sequels/spin offs.

Yeah, NSTC is the state-side dev, but they haven't done much besides translations, Wave Race and 1080, methinks.

Last Generation NSTC games were:
Bionic Commando
Crystalis
Ridge Racer 64 (maybe they were also responsible for Ridge Racer DS?  Don't know for sure).

(edit: NSTC not NTSC).

"Ridge Racer 64 (maybe they were also responsible for Ridge Racer DS? Don't know for sure). "

Yep, they were.  In fact save for a couple details it's the exact same game.  NST did 1080 and Waverace didn't they, and they're working on Metroid Prime Hunters now.
