Nintendo comments on generational transition for developers
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Many of Nintendo’s top (or most well-known) developers have been with the company for a few decades. It’s tough to say, but they’re getting older as well.
The good news is that Nintendo doesn’t seem to be worried about handing things over to the younger generation. Speaking about it during the company’s shareholders meeting last week, president Shuntaro Furukawa said the transition “is progressing smoothly” and he’s not at all concerned.
Miyamoto echoed those sentiments as well. He also brought up how Nintendo has “a system in place that allows younger developers to take the initiative”. Miyamoto would go on to say that he’d “like to be able to hand things over to an even younger generation.”
