Nintendo Not Planning To Increase Western Game Development
Plans to increase future Nintendo Software development is ceased.
According to Nintendo of America senior vice president George Harrison, the company is not planning to continue first-party game development in the U.S.
"In a recent interview with Wired News, Harrison clarified that software production decisions are made by Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata and the management team, which includes Nintendo EAD director Shigeru Miyamoto."
"I'm not aware of any plans to push for more software development here in the U.S."
Nintendo relies on third-party publishers in the U.S. to develop games that target Western cultural sensibilities. Said Harrison, "They're doing a great job both on DS and on Wii. They tend to provide product in categories that we aren't particularly good at doing, like sports or other genres. And since they're Western publishers, they tend to be more in tune with Western tastes."
