What's more fun than Nintendo games? A seminar on making Nintendo games.

The Nintendo Game Seminar is returning after a three-year absence.

Starting this July and running until March 2014, the event is a series of game design seminars held for under and post graduates attending universities or technical colleges in the Tokyo and Osaka areas.

The seminars will focus on the newly announced HTML5-based Nintendo Web Framework on the Wii U, which Nintendo hopes will lower hurdles for making games. Coursework will include cover programming, graphic design, sound, and game direction.

Taught by their top employees, Nintendo has run similar seminars since the Famicom era. Previously, Nintendo DS games made at the seminar were made available for download in Japan.
