The Nintendo Treehouse has been around for plenty of years, and is one of the main reasons why games are localized from the Big N these days. But there are plenty of different departments inside such as the marketing support team and brand management/Pokemon team.
Bill Trinen, Nintendo of America’s director of product marketing, recently spoke with Siliconera about the different divisions at Nintendo Treehouse as well as the team as a whole. He also discussed his origins with the company and shared a tiny bit about Shigeru Miyamoto.

Comic Workshop screenshot sharing disabled on Miiverse
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 4 Comments
Well, that didn’t last long! Comic Workshop came out on the North American 3DS eShop yesterday, and it included support for Miiverse so that users could post and share comics. Now though, this is no longer possible. Nintendo disabled the feature and sharing comics through Miiverse is a thing of the past.
Why the quick change? One theory is that some members included photos of themselves in their comics. This is naturally a big no-no in Nintendo’s book.
