>>35813732Why is Masuda playing the "we're still new at this :(" card? Gamefreak and TPCI have more than enough money to hire competent developers. At at actually competent dev studio, Nintendo, based director Nogami hired the people who designed the BOTW shrines to aid with level design for the Octo Expansion DLC, resulting in some new, fun gimmicky levels. There's no reason Gamefreak can't hire devs who have experience with HD level design.
If Masuda believes he can't develop HD games, he should step down.
