Nintendo's Seattle HQ has been doing them proud for years now, but you know they love to tinker with a good thing. Their new headquarters, built next to their old building, is less of a slight upgrade and more of a next-generation revelation, though.
With an energy-efficient data centre, recharging stations for electric vehicles and 75,000 square feet of plants covering the roof, Nintendo's clearly aiming to reduce its environmental impact. Don't worry: there's plenty of game-related nods inside, with the main conference room called the Master Sword and the building divided into colour-coded segments Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Wario.
Although predictably there are no photos of the inside due to Nintendo's strict security rules, these exterior shots should be enough to satiate your desire to know what Nintendo's new domain looks like.

Cool, best HQ ever
It DOES look like a USB stick!
DUH. Cause its a Wi-Fi hotspot.
It's, It's beautiful
Who wants to sneak in pink panther style?
Muahaha
Wow, absolutely beautiful and astonishing. I wonder who drives electric cars there....
Anyways, looks like a great place to work.
What, no Metroid room? This is an outrage!
Awesome HQ, though...
There's no canteen. You just stand infront of the fountain, play Zelda's Lullaby, and then a Great Fairy restores your energy.
@Raylax: Not before bestowing you with a powerful new magic!
@TwilightV: All Nintendo employees can now use Din's Fire against intruders.
Is it wrong that I just want to sneak through there as Solid Snake?
"...recharging stations for electric vehicles..."
There I thought everyone has but all given up on those silly things.
Awesome, wish I could work in a place like that.
@Pegasus: With that big oil spill off the Gulf Coast, I don't see why they would give up on electric vehicles
What it would be to get into that building the week before E3...
I want a Nintendo USB!!
Any jobs going? me wants to ride an electric car at work I bet there all shaped like Yoshi too
Wow that looks cool!
There old building was next door to Microsoft FYI.
Maybe they moved away to keep there secrets closer.
So does this mean Digipen moved with them or are they still at the old office?
thats awesome! But no one remembers the sacrifices that made it what it is to day
Wait... where is the Mario statue that was outside of the old one? This is all wrong! WHERE IS THE MARIO STATUE?! ;_;
They planted grass.
You would think they'd plant a beautiful garden on the roof for relaxing in, but grass?
