This information comes from Nintendo’s Kensuke Tanabe…

“I absolutely believe so (important to strengthen relationships with foreign developers). I work with other development partners, such as [Punch Out!! developer] Next Level Games in Vancouver and Monster Studios [of Pilotwings Resort] in Minneapolis. And they, much like Retro, really get our development philosophies. I want to find as many people as we can, as many great companies as we can to get involved with. I’m really looking for developers with a sense of craftsmanship. …there’s a real increase in the number of companies that look like they’re really running a business for business’ sake. There are many of those certainly within the midst of the gaming industry as a whole, or at least I feel that way.”

It’s important to note that Nintendo’s involvement with the projects being worked on by foreign developers is very important. Consider Next Level Games, for example. They created a standout title in Punch-Out!!, yet some of their other games such as Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon and Transformers: Cybertron Adventures have been mediocre.

“They’re starting to run out of steam now in terms of continuing to be relevant in 2011 and beyond. I mean, you’ve gotta be kidding me. Why would I buy a gaming system without a hard drive in it? How does this thing scale? Motion gaming is cute, but if I can only wave my arms six inches, how does this really feel like I’m doing true accurate motion gaming?” – Sony boss Jack Tretton

Of course, he talks about the DS too:

“Our view of the ‘Game Boy experience’ is that it’s a great babysitting tool, something young kids do on airplanes, but no self-respecting twenty-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those. He’s too old for that.”

Well then Mr. Tretton, I reckon there are a LOT of self disrespecting twenty-somethings out there! Good lord…
