Gamasutra reports that Nintendo HQ has adopted a new software management solution in Aldon Lifecycle
Manager. What this new program allows the bigwigs over in Washington to do is maintain a high level of awareness
throughout different development projects (such as all upcoming Revolution titles) as they go through their
lifecycles. Now, apparently, it won't be the impossibly difficult task of walking over to the development area and
asking the Project Lead where they're at currently. It's now only a mouse click away. Let's hope it helps those at
Nintendo who've been having problems with their TPS reports, also.Nintendo's got a new backend

I've actually seen this software in use (not at Nintendo)and I can definately say it is probably the absolute best solution for lifecycle management (no i dont work for the software company either).
This means great leaps in productivity and awareness as well as possibly increased turnaround time. However, as we all know Nintendo has a master plan of when things are to be released, so this doesnt mean games will come out sooner, but maybe those developers and people can begin working research on other projects sooner.
