Invest in your teams? What madness is this?

Where's the shareholder value here?
Their games will sell +40 million and piss off fanboys who hate Nintendo with burning passionWhat's the catch..
Sounds nice, but let's wait and see exactly what that actually means.
Bigger teams? Smaller games? Shared development? The dreaded AI?
Yes, they are already building a second development HQ in Kyoto that will be larger than their current building, No, Probably depends on the game, No they already said it many times that they wont be using AI in their games.Bigger teams? Smaller games? Shared development? The dreaded AI?
Does anyone actually hate Nintendo?Their games will sell +40 million and piss off fanboys who hate Nintendo with burning passion
I'd agree. It's a great growth opportunity.If they are investing in AI to help the teams become more efficient rather replacing teams with AI then I'd say that is a good investment.
No they already said it many times that they wont be using AI in their games.

Have you visited the forum Neogaf lately? Like, since the Switch 2 console and game pricing was announced?Does anyone actually hate Nintendo?
Yeah, I think they're already doing this, but everyone is scaling the use up significantly right now.If they are investing in AI to help the teams become more efficient rather replacing teams with AI then I'd say that is a good investment.
I think that applies to art and music alone.Yes, they are already building a second development HQ in Kyoto that will be larger than their current building, No, Probably depends on the game, No they already said it many times that they wont be using AI in their games.
Non Nintendo console warriors.Does anyone actually hate Nintendo?
Shuntaro Furukawa is a beast.
There is a huge difference between hating the company and criticizing them. I criticized them loads for the switch 2 stuff. But, I sure don't hate them. I love Nintendo and that's why I do it.Have you visited the forum Neogaf lately? Like, since the Switch 2 console and game pricing was announced?
Six more games in the BotW engine and mapSounds nice, but let's wait and see exactly what that actually means.

I like the way he talks when it comes to them just making games in all true old school fashion in quality and efficiency. This is the way.
Less time doing optimisation because DLSS will magically do it apparentlyWhat's the catch..
As much as people bemoan Nintendo's hardware tech being outdated and underpowered, those decisions also help them keep development costs down. They've also been good about developing/co-developing lesser IP from their catalog and setting realistic expectations for sales and budgeting accordingly (i.e. not expecting WarioWare to do Mario Kart sales figures). That, along with the similar strategy for remakes, keeps a steady stream of games coming.
They literally said their games requires a human touch, and they literally said they want to preserve the way their games has always been made I am not telling you how to live your life but Nintendo is the last on the line to go AI over actual devs and artistsI think that applies to art and music alone.
This is great news nevertheless. It describes that Nintendo has seen this happening in other companies and studios and are carefully planning to not fall in the same pits.Sorry. But this is not news. In laymen's terms they are simply continuing on in a manner consistent with how they have for decades. Carefully and thoughtfully. A vague response in an inventor Q&A is not a headline story. There is no news to wring out of that response. They were not breaking any kind of news. And they never have before, ever will in an investor Q&A.
Super cringe.
You couldn't possibly know that because they've never made that announcement. *But generally speaking, Nintendo will be one of the very last major publishers/ developers to force AI into their development pipelines. They have a very strong culture of letting experienced creative developers do what they do, as long as they ship commercially successful products. There is no appetite/ mandate/ culture at the top of Nintendo to somehow allow non-developers to try and tell developers how to do their job. Furukawa has no software development experiences, he's Business/ Finance. Iwata was extremely rare in that he came from the development side. Basically they run the business and let the software teams make great games, and that system works.Yeah, I think they're already doing this, but everyone is scaling the use up significantly right now.

Yeah, so that's literally not news. That's simply restating something that's already widely known.This is great news nevertheless. It describes that Nintendo has seen this happening in other companies and studios and are carefully planning to not fall in the same pits.
Shorter development time = Less contentNintendo haters right now…: How i can turn this as something really bad?…
Yeah, so that's literally not news. That's simply restating something that's already widely known.
It also wouldn't be newsworthy to state that "Zelda teams are always working on the next Zelda", and "hardware teams are always looking into technology on the next hardware product". This is the same as that.
Wringing news out of nothing is cringe and annoying, quite honestly. Not everything you read is intended to be subject to "some dude" online trying to pass anything they see off as news.
No doubt. Switch 1 also continued to sell better than N's biggest expectations to the point that Switch 2 was allowed to arrive at least a year or so later. MKW started dev for S1 and came to S2, but some games probably started for S2 and they had to release for S1 or they'd be sitting on them (TOTK is an example of this, I believe). They also released a bunch of first party games last year on S1. We don't really know much about Nintendo releases from September and beyond, but they could be sitting on a ton of stuff.But HD town is hard so Zelda ToTK took 6 fucking years to make.
Or could just not post stuff that isn't news? Water is wet

Between Bowser and Furukawa, the comments have been somewhat strongly against - or cautioning against - generative AI that relies on training using other people's work. Furukawa specifically pointed out IP rights as one issue.You couldn't possibly know that because they've never made that announcement. *But generally speaking, Nintendo will be one of the very last major publishers/ developers to force AI into their development pipelines.

Nintendo has literally never been more successful and made more money than they have the last 8 years. They are doing extremely well, and the value of the company has never been higher.
If it happens, they'll be one of the very last to do it.Between Bowser and Furukawa, the comments have been somewhat strongly against - or cautioning against - generative AI that relies on training using other people's work. Furukawa specifically pointed out IP rights as one issue.
But Bowser did say that conversations around using AI are happening inside Nintendo - as with every other studio/publisher.
I'm not suggesting Nintendo is going to start replacing artists with AI, but if you're looking for increased efficiency and productivity at the scale Nintendo is operating - especially if you're also concerned about keeping costs down - then you're looking at AI.
