Nintendo Plans New Kyoto Building
« on: March 30, 2011, 03:59:40 PM »

The building will bring R&D closer to main headquarters to increase efficiency.

A new research and development facility for Nintendo is planned in Kyoto, in the same part of the city as the main office. Construction is set to begin in January 2012 with completion expected in 2013.

The new building will be the main research facility and will eventually house 1,500 employees working primarily on product development. As it is closer to Nintendo HQ than the current R&D office, it is supposed to bring together the workforce and improve efficiency.

The complete building will have seven floors, including a basement, with meeting rooms and the entrance on the first floor, and a cafeteria on the top floor. The 40,582 square meter lot was previously a golf course.

Video conferencing not good enough?

Silly monkeys; give them thumbs they make a club and beat their brother down. How they survive so misguided is a mystery. Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an a eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

What happens to the old R&D building? A new studio?

The Indie & Garage dev support studio. ;)

but seriously, lets hope they open a new studio. They have so many more franchises to revive for both the 3DS and the Wii/2

Hopefully this improved efficiency will help alleviate game droughts/shortages in the future. I don't see how, but if it does I'll be happy.
