Nintendo has struggled with returning to the top spot in the industry. Well, at least somewhat. Nintendo branches were forced to adjust to the success of the Wii/DS and the company’s new involvement with online technology, according to Gamebusiness.jp. Meanwhile, software developers were unable to focus on creating new franchises because their time was committed to established I.P.

So, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata amassed a list of all problems facing the company. Believe it or not, it ended up with roughly 700 items. Third-party relations and “unexpected accidents in communication between branches” involving management were on the list.

Things have started getting better, though. For instance, to rectify management issues, Iwata put external developers in charge of handling “low-priority” software. The original report from Gamebusiness.jp notes that Nintendo has a newfound, perhaps brighter future thanks to the changes Iwata has implemented.
