During a recent earnings briefing, Nintendo executives expressed skepticism over rising development costs in the gaming sector, insisting that appealing games can stem from good ideas without significant expenses. Shigeru Miyamoto, the iconic creator of Mario, emphasized the importance of cultivating unique and intriguing concepts, stating, "it is possible to create appealing products based on intriguing ideas, without incurring significant costs." This approach underlines Nintendo’s belief that innovation does not always require substantial financial backing in game development.
Nintendo aims to foster an efficient development environment, as articulated by senior executive Ko Shiota. He noted, "Because developers are already familiar with the Nintendo Switch, we wish to maintain a similar basis for development environments." This strategy signifies Nintendo's focus on leveraging existing knowledge and skills of its development team, aligning resource management with the company's ethos of creativity over expenditure.
Miyamoto also reflected on his own capabilities, stating, "I am not a genius," which displays a level of humility that is often juxtaposed with the high expectations from the gaming community. This statement coupled with Nintendo's vision emphasizes that success is more about the collaborative creative process within the team than singular brilliance.
In discussing growth strategies, Miyamoto noted that Nintendo generally prefers to "organically expand" instead of acquiring new companies, showcasing a long-term vision rooted in nurturing existing talent and resources within the organization.
