Coming from a SourceGaming interview with Giles Goddard, former Nintendo employee and Vitei Games CEO...
SG: Do you think Nintendo’s interactions with 2nd party or 3rd party developers has changed in the last couple of years…especially with the new focus on the ‘Nindies’ or the Nintendo Indies?
GG: That’s an interesting one. I think internally they are only really interested in doing the big projects now…whether that was since Iwata-san passed away or not, I don’t know. But they are less inclined in doing experimental things now, I think. Maybe they think that all the experimental stuff can be handled by the ‘Nindies’. I’m not sure if Iwata-san would agree with the direction that Nintendo [is going] because that means that they are going to have to create bigger and bigger games every year. I’m not sure if that would be sustainable in the long term…I think Iwata-san had a very different vision for Nintendo.
