"For us, we want to work with developers who are experienced in this industry, and are passionate about bringing that idea that’s stuck in the back of their head, that they haven’t been able to compel a large studio to create or a large publisher to bring to market. Those are the types of companies and types of individuals we want to work with. Now whether that’s 2D Boy or Gaijin Games, those are the kinds of independent developers that, for us, are key opportunities. And again, where we try and draw the distinction is that there are people who want to be in this business, but don’t have the training or experience. - Reggie Fils-Aime"
— Nintendo: The Era of the 3DS - Wii Feature at IGN: I really think Nintendo should reconsider this distinction and apologize for it. It doesn’t matter where or who a game comes from as long as it’s good. The thriving iOS game universe is a testament to this. The whole “garage developers” thing has just served to create a negative, elitist image for Nintendo.
