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. >_<

Interesting. And this can only be good news.

Other than in the Treehouse...does anyone at NOA even know programming?

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.

They also have demo discs, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, and Metroid Prime: Hunters.

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.
