NOA may be planning to relocate to San Francisco or New York, if the word on the street is to be believed.
Game Informer Online is reporting that Nintendo of America's sales and marketing departments may soon be leaving its Redmond, Washington headquarters and relocating elsewhere, perhaps as early as this fall. Other departments were not mentioned, so it is currently unclear whether or not other parts of NOA would stay or go if the move were indeed to happen.
GI's sources indicate that San Francisco and New York are potential areas for relocation, and that current employees would need to decide by the end of this month whether or not to relocate with the company or accept severance packages. No immediate reason was given for why this may be taking place.
Nintendo World Report will have more on this important event as additional details become available.
Seriously though I would like more of a game business presence in the east.
