by According to Miyamoto, Splatoon, Star Fox Wii U, Project Giant Robot, and Project Guard all come from a new development studio at Nintendo known as Garage. This is where they try to come up with really unique ideas for new games.
I think this is great! Splatoon is already amazing, so I'm glad there's a dedicated development studio now just for these new types of games! Can't wait to see what else they're doing. Also, now it makes more sense that Animal Crossing devs were working on Splatoon. XD
Nintendo wrote:Splatoon and the three prototypes are the first games to emerge from Garage, a new Nintendo development programme set up last year in which developers break off into small teams and work on new ideas. "There are increasing numbers of young staff at Nintendo's development studios these days," Miyamoto says, "and these young guys really want to express themselves." Work is done during office hours, but he compares Garage to an after-school club, in spirit if not in schedule. "Class time's over: they gather together and think about new projects completely apart from their everyday business assignments. When all of those projects have advanced to a certain stage, we gather together and exchange opinions on the outcome of each of them, and together we decide which ones should continue. We may have shown several software titles at E3 [that came from Garage], but there are many others in development too.
