The expansion will allow Nintendo to work on the games more internally.
Nintendo has reaped huge profits with the sustained and impressive success of Switch and recently last month, the Japanese giant announced that it would invest up to $ 880 million in expanding its game development division.
Now, it has been announced that the company is constructing a new building next to the current main building in Kyoto. At the same time, the company is also leasing two floors in the new government building Kyoto City Waterworks Bureau, starting May 2022. Finally, a completely new building is also under construction on the site of the old Nintendo headquarters, which is currently the headquarters of the Nintendo Kyoto Research Center.
With this update, Nintendo will be looking to expand its development capabilities and move more of its game production internally, while until now the company has also relied on a number of external companies.
These are, of course, long-term plans, so it should be interesting to see how Nintendo’s vision changes in the future.
