    A delayed game office is eventually good, but a rushed game office is forever bad.

    I wonder if anyone has told them about digital downloads and moving sourcecode using network cables. If not, I bet they’re going to feel really silly moving crates of code up and down freight elevators in their huge meat-space office. /s

      It is kind of hard to check hardware prototypes into version control.

      I assume that first party game developers are sometimes working with unannounced hardware that Nintendo might not want leaving the office. It also makes it easier to call a hardware engineer over when you break the system.

    Is that huge building finished? I need to be able to move in our developers by January of 1996.

    Sir, it’s 2023.

    Right now?

    Yes sir.

    So yesterday I was…

    Also in 2023 sir.

    Well no. That’s not how I roll. But do me a favor and look up whether we released something called a “Virtual Boy” in 1995. And someone get me a new Palm Pilot, I need to keep better track of what… day… it is.
