Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, senior managing director Genyo Takeda, and Shigeru Miyamoto had plenty to say about judging the future of technology at the Big N’s financial results briefing last week. There was also a great deal of discussion about cultivating younger staff, which will be necessary when some of the higher-ups – like Shigeru Miyamoto – retire.
Head past the break for all of the comments from Iwata, Takeda, and Miyamoto. There’s definitely a lot here!

Nintendo on downplaying tech specs
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 88 Comments
Nintendo has always been coy when it comes to technical specs. We rarely see spec sheets from the company, and we often don’t see comments about what Nintendo’s systems can do from a technical perspective.
Last week, Nintendo senior managing director Genyo Takeda spoke with investors about how “Nintendo tries not to emphasize the raw technical specifications”, instead opting to place the focus “on how we can use technology to amplify the value of our entertainment offerings”.
Takeda said, “Whether a machine is powerful or not only has meaning in the context of whether that can express itself in terms of gameplay to consumers.”
