Nintendo's Koizumi on bringing in new devs at Nintendo to handle games, changing how games feel

Coming from an EDGE interview with Nintendo's Yoshiaki Koizumi...

“Generations turn over, and when you’re working on games like these, you can’t have the same veterans on everything forever. Any time that you have a new generation working on games, they’re always going to think about the things that are close to them, and incorporate those into the game somehow. That definitely changes the way the games feel.”

Koizumi has definitely taken a much more prominent role at Nintendo with the Switch, and I think the direction things are going in is quite exciting. The new wave of devs at Nintendo seem to have the core values Nintendo desires, but with a new approach and sense of style.
