Nintendo Seal of Quality is going out on its own. The Kyoto-based company is splitting its quality control branch off into its own, separate company.

The name of this Nintendo company is the appropriately named "Mario Club".

Contract employees and part-timers will see work conditions improve, and contract employees will become full-time, full-fledged Mario Club employees. With the goal of improving quality, Mario Club will play test and check Nintendo-related titles for bugs.

Interesting...

So no more "seal of quality" on shovel ware?  

[Owwin]

FINALLY! THIS NEEDED TO HAPPEN! I have been saying that something about the quality control needs to be done, and it is now. No more rewarding shitty shovelware. Now we are gonna get some real third party casual support.

Finally. It's gonna be nice.  

[Frog Apocalypse]

lets hope that they do a good job. iv seen some sony titles that are absolute crap somehow get a seal of approval from their "parent" company saying it was good, but ended as crap.
just speaking from personal experience here.

Thank god.

no more babyz birthday bash?

I'm pretty excited about this.  

[KitsuneSaria]

I'm not sure, but you guys might be reading the wrong definition of "quality". I think they're talking about quality in the sense of buggy software, not the quality of the story/gameplay.

Although... it would be nice to have something like that...

Same thing really.  

[Boadicia]

I don't think it'll change anything major, though I'm just a cynic at heart anyway.

[8Bit Jack]
