      2017 was a spectacular year for Nintendo. I spoke to some of the company's brightest stars to understand the concatenation of reasons why:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/29/technology/nintendo-switch.html …

      This, from Shigeru Miyamoto, on how Nintendo only hires designers who have deep and wide interests outside of video games, to the point where perhaps they don't even play games, is close to the heart of it all.pic.twitter.com/PjUm66LhQu

          Hopefully Nintendo has changed a bit from what was revealed in an interview from 8 years ago:http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/miyamoto-i-wouldnt-get-a-job-here-now …

          Makes sense. A really good way of making sure your designers don't do what's already out there is to hire people who aren't going have much experience with what's already out there; in the context of game design, at least.

          that sounds wise or whatever but is this why nintendo stuff often have stupid things in them that have long been solved by the rest of the industry
