Nintendo decided today was the day to share some insight into how the Switch News section was created via post on their official Japanese website. Details from the feature can be found below.
- the section was created by 4 to 5 people
- it took roughly 1 year to create
- challenges included receiving feedback for Game News from Japan and overseas clients
- due to time and cultural differences, the feedback received was sometimes opposite of each other
- the team had to scrap/rebuild parts of completed functionality based on the feedback received at different times of the day
- this was very difficult on the team, so they changed the way they operated
- devs would make an incomplete version of the component, show it to Japanese/overseas teams, then tweak it to complete
- there were different needs/desires from clients in Japan and overseas
- the dev team would suggest ideas until they'd hit one that would satisfy everyone, and then moved forward on development
