Lately 01net has been revealing lots of behind the scenes information about Nintendo and this time it seems they got an interview with one of their employees. It seems that Nintendo’s future and president, Satoru Iwata, maybe in jeopardy according to the employee, as he worries about the state that Nintendo is in. According to 01net Iwata’s in a delicate position at this point, if not on an ejection seat and many employees worry about his fate as Nintendo’s CEO.

If we are to believe our source, the chairman of the board, Satoru Iwata, is now in very delicate position, if not on an ejection seat. Iwata is generally appreciated by the staff of the company, many employees worried about his fate. Also according to our source, the fact that he publicly assumed responsibility for a difficult start to the 3DS and voluntarily cut his salary in half may not be enough to save his place in the medium term.

There is also the concern about the company future, apparently there is a lot going on behind the scenes that even shareholder’s aren’t aware of and the employee feels that it is best that they are aware of the situation, players included. There is also the worry about third-party developers policy, it seems that Nintendo has a strict policy that developers can’t work with. Jump inside for more details.

After our interview, we could not stop us from asking what our source had indeed been as feverish motivate and unusual revelations. He replied almost verbatim: “It’s sort of a political act. As an employee of Nintendo, I have dedicated my life to this company. Given the turn of things, many of us fear what the future holds. If I address you, because I think the players and the shareholders deserve to know what happens behind the scenes. I think they represent our best chance to drive the necessary changes to Nintendo finally takes radical decisions necessary to adapt to new market constraints. I do not think that the situation can continue long in that state. We must completely rethink our policy of cooperation with developers and publishers. We must offer them the means to give the best of themselves. They are more likely than ever to want to work with us, but the conditions we provide are for the time being the least favorable in the industry. I do not think they will stay very long if we do not make a decisive move in their direction. “

The employee also talked about the “one analog stick” mistake with the 3DS and the problems that Nintendo faces with the Wii U development. We posted about this a few days ago and it seems that there are some serious problems with the Wii U, but the employee is sure that they will be solved.

“The difficulties are real, sometimes critical, and should not be underestimated. But if the necessary reforms are implemented, I believe that Nintendo will remain the leader in its field for much longer. No competitor has such a range of characters and franchises universally adored – to the envy of Disney – or such a capacity to create new ones, as strong in the future. Out a portable machine dedicated to the game but equipped with one analog stick in 2011 was a mistake. The fact that we have recognized, and we do what is necessary to remedy this, let me suggest that 3DS has before it many years of success.

Smartphones continue on their way, but I think it will exist long been a separate market for machines that care primarily of players.

As for the Wii U, despite its serious problems of development – you can be sure – will be resolved, it is probably the best idea we have had for ages.

The press, like players, do not seem to fully realize the potential of this revolutionary machine. It’s a whole new way to create and play before us. And given the graphics quality achieved by the hardware of the present generation, I think the technical superiority of our future competitors in the market for machinery room will not weigh heavily in the balance, faced with what we will bring in terms of gameplay . U The Wii is the future of gaming. You will not soon realize it!”

We seriously hope that the company can get it together, especially as Iwata is in the hot seat, and if you know business then you should know that a when a company’s CEO/President is in a hot seat the entire company is as well. We hope that Nintendo can solve their problems very soon and get back on track.
