Nintendo’s core design is based around creating new ideas. They start many new ideas through small teams. They don’t base position based off position or experience but instead creativity. They then use the best ideas in the next project. The goal is to have enjoyable moment to moment gameplay. They focus on the larger objective and single focus on creating something perfect instead of multiple smaller less good things. They develop hardware to complete the design they want for their games.
