We also believe it is possible to develop game software with shorter development periods that still offer consumers a sense of novelty.

Wasn't this always Nintendo's approach? Or are they going even cheaper, like how every Pokemon game looks like it was made by one person.

No not really, games like the mainline Zelda and Mario titles have really long development cycles.
