... to the East side, to a deluxe apartment in the sky.In all seriousness, the company could be looking to relocate its troops somewhere else, as Game Informer reports Nintendo is looking to relocate to greener pastures outside of the Microsoft-inhabited Redmond, Washington. Of the potential cities in the U.S. where they could relocate, apparently San Francisco and New York are in the top running. Nintendo of America employees also supposedly received notification yesterday regarding this move, offering them severance packages should they not wish to relocate. These new offices could be opened as early as this Fall.
With the Nintendo World Store in New York, we're confident that Nintendo might go there since the large store already gives them a good presence with the public. Of course, the rain and cold could be something they aren't looking forward to, so San Francisco would be a natural choice given that situation (also, it's closer to Japan). And with all the different branches of Nintendo of America having a presence in Redmond, Washington, this move is definitely going to affect the entire company. Here's to hoping it's a good one, should it come to pass!

I heard Nintendo is looking to expand. Digipen currently shares a section with Nintendo and the lease is ending soon. Nintendo is looking to expand from there. Nintendo might be wanting to branch out. Send the sales and marketing people to SF nearer to where other industries are and closer to Japan.

New York! Please!
I'm practically twitching at the prospect of being able to apply for Nintendo jobs without moving :-P

Living in the middle of the US, I think it would be a tops idea to move here, Easy access to all parts of the US ;).
(why not? Google is planning on making a giant headquarters in Either Oklahoma or Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Paypal has an office in Omaha...)

Fish don't fry in the kitchen, beans don't burn on the grill. Took a whole lotta tuh-rah-ying, just to get up that hill.
