Nikkei: Nintendo to launch unified console / handheld gaming division February 16th

Nintendo plans to merge its handheld and console gaming units into one division to create next generation hardware “that will turn heads,” according to a report from Nikkei. It’s report that Nintendo is feeling the heat from new gaming devices from the likes of NVIDIA, Ouya and others on various operating systems and platforms. Nintendo is looking to speed up the development cycle and create higher quality products by bringing the brain power from all its divisions together, and will inaugurate the unified division by February 16th of this year. All this is on the heels of tepid launches of the Wii U console and Nintendo 3DS gamepad, so the gaming outfit hopes to avoid re-runs of that scenario — while making the two types of devices work better, to boot. It’ll house the new team in a facility next to its Kyoto HQ that’ll be complete by the end of the year, which it sees becoming “a hotbed of new ideas,” according to Nikkei.Filed under: Gaming, NintendoCommentsVia: IGNSource: Nikkei (subscription)
