Nintendo believes game development will increase in complexity, requiring more time
Bigger games, longer hours
There are two things that are 100% true about the game industry. Game hardware has gotten much more sophisticated over the years, and games have grown in complexity with them. That second half of the above statement is one Nintendo is apparently keenly aware of.
During Nintendo’s Q&A with investors following their fiscal results briefing, Nintendo took a moment to discuss the current and future state of software development. Game development is already a laborious affair, and Nintendo believes the challenges and time required to build games is going to grow from here on out.
You can see what Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa had to say on the matter below. (Please note that this is a fan translation of the Japanese transcripts of the Q&A, courtesy of Nicolas10111 on Reddit.)
We believe that it is inevitable that game development will become longer, more complex, and more sophisticated in the future, but our lifeline is to offer new and unique proposals to our customers through game development, so we will continue to invest, including investment. We will actively work to expand our development resources.
