Treehouse is Nintendo of America's internal product development division. Based in a secluded, high-security office within Nintendo of America's Redmond headquarters, the Treehouse handles product management, quality assurance, translation and localization, and is the audio-visual department that puts together game trailers.[1] For larger titles, the team translates games as they are being developed, frequently communicating with the development teams in Japan.[2] Conversely, the Japanese teams will speak with the Treehouse to determine if particular elements of a game are too specific to Japanese culture, to keep an "international" feel.[1]
The Treehouse was founded in the mid-1990's in response to the generally poor translations of many NES and early SNES titles.[1] The codename "Treehouse" originates from Donkey Kong Country, in which Donkey Kong's home is a treehouse.[1]
Ever since E3 2014, the Treehouse has occasionally hosted livestreams to showcase upcoming and recently released games.
