Update: Bumped to the front page. Posted more details below along with translations from Nikkei’s article.

Nintendo’s handheld and console development divisions have been maintained as separate entities. Next month, however, the two will be unified in a new headquarters location.

Apparently this move will be the first large-scale development structural change in nine years.

Quick note: we’re doing some maintenance on the two sites to fix a few issues. It should last for an hour or two (time of post is 12 AM ET). As always, don’t panic if you see something wonky (if all goes well, you won’t notice anything). Shouldn’t be a big deal, though I wanted to give you all the heads up just in case something explodes.
