E3 2009: Shigeru Miyamoto scouts the PSP Go

When you're one of the top game creators from the company that dominated the handheld gaming scene at its infancy, it's only natural that you'd be checking out the latest that the scene has to offer. That's exactly what Shigeru Miyamoto did at E3. The A-list game creator from Nintendo was spotted checking out the newest competition in the handheld scene - the PSP Go, and from the looks of it, he was really checking it out.

While Sony staff at the expo looked on while some showed their high-profile guest around the new PSP, Miyamoto looks like he was really scrutinizing the PSP Go, flipping it around and taking a good look. Note that he didn't send his underlings out to scout, he got up and did it himself - major props for his hands-on approach.

Since he has plans for adding more services to the DS, it's possible that he's checking out what the PSP Go can do that the DS does not or cannot support. Remember the handheld that they canned? Maybe Miyamoto's checking to see if it's time to go and whip up a new one like Sony did. No word from Miyamoto on the subject though.

if I was on the floor I would not know what to do. Do I go up to him and help him out. Do I just stand there and stare to see what he does. Do I treat him just like anyone else and try to sell him one? Looks like they chose to help him if that guy in the blue shirt works for Sony.

Secretly I bet he owns a PSP cause we know those Japanese people can't resist the Monster Hunter.

Miyamoto is probably saying "damn, what am I gonna play my UMDs in now."

# This news are improperly credited! — vingadorjr2 2009-06-04 17:05

Hi all, I represent the Brazilian site Games Sem Compromisso (GSC), and i like to tell you all that this news wasnt properly credited. That pictures was send to us from a friend from our staff, and was stolen from our own website (no problem about that, of course) by someone from the Kotaku, so i think. Plus, we submit this news on the PSPNEWS site many hours before the Kotaku. You all can go there and check if you want, but we are asking you to properly credit our site. Please, do the right thing. You can check the time of our post and you will see that im telling the thuth. Compare the time with the one from Kotaku and/or other sources and you will see too. And futhermore, i´ve send qj.net and ps3news the tip for this news, many hours before the news from Kotaku being posted, you can check that too. Our site is gamessemcomprom isso.blogspot.com . Again, please, do the right thing, because thats not the way to go with your informants, and please, dont delete this post before answear us properly. Thanks... João Andrade

# Verified, corrected — Guest 2009-06-04 18:00

I apologize for the infraction, and I've already corrected the source.

If you could provide me with an email address, then I would be glad to send my formal apologies through there.

# lol — SeRosiS 2009-06-04 18:19

Got a chuckle out of that one...

# Thanks — vingadorjr2 2009-06-04 18:40

Thanks Mr/Ms Glenn M. Theres no need for further apologies. Its me and my "very bad" english who gives you our apologies. Anyway, my e-mail is vingadorjr@yaho o.com.br, and i will look for further work with you all. A company of our country are developing a new system, called Zeebo, I think you heard of it already, and rest assurred that any info from this system will be send to you or to someone from your staff, along with some other relevant news about the coming of Sony to brazilian market and the likes. Thanks again.

I bet he's like "I want one"...

@joebo19X

he bought the Vii to get the idea for the Wii xD

# Aww ^^ — Acteon 2009-06-04 22:20

Nice to see some international goodwill there ^

:)

# ... — Silver-Tiger 2009-06-05 00:17

So what? He's still human. You treat him like he's some kind of "god". He probably owns all major consoles, or do you really think he just plays his own games? I bet he's even a Halo 3 and Killzone 2 pro.....

# i can't believe it!! — L0NG 2009-06-05 02:41

NOW the Sony PSP become more S*H*I*T than f*u*c**i*n*g nintendo D - A*S*S

# ............. — Shazman1984 2009-06-05 04:26

BAAAAHAHAAHAHAH AHA!!!!! AWESOME!!!

# lol — gordunk 2009-06-05 07:45

He probably is thinking, "Well, it slides out, but where's the second screen?"

# Ha — Digitus 2009-06-05 08:57

Be nice if he was looking at it to propose a new handheld. Combine the best of both systems with a graphical update and some new ideas. Keep in mind this is the guy who brought us Pikmin from gardening in his yard. Who knows what he can get out of actual technology (lol)

Wouldn't it be even cooler if he made a game for PSP? I know Nintendo fans would feel like he was cheating but I'm a fan of his games. Be really cool if he designed some new Zelda-like game for Sony, unhindered by the (very few) limits Ninty sets.

# B*R*A*V*O — Galduke 2009-06-05 09:04

Sound reasoning from a sound man.

This, of coarse, is sarcasm.

# LOL — PT-X 2009-06-05 09:59

Heb esaying tssss its not even worth my Ultimate handheld GBA god.....

XD hahahha...

# ... — astaroth001 2009-06-05 12:07

indeed...I dont he plays Wii spots only or all crappy games for the Wii...he must play Vii more than Wii XD

# lol! — Guest 2009-06-05 12:10

that's a very good one!

props to miyamoto for checking out the merch himself. although he's pretty much game for anything, so it's not really surprising he'd come down to the competition's booth himself.

he's established himself already. he should be (and apparently he already is) over that "oh, i don't wanna be seen with them cos they're competition" mentality.

# . — NarooN 2009-06-05 15:13

Shigeru isn't a fanboy or anything. Anyone remember that video last year when he was caught playing KZ2, and actually liked it?

# really??? — Specht 2009-06-07 10:59

If I was on the show floor as a Sony rep I'd be ecstatic. Shigeru Miyamoto is pretty much a God in the gaming industry and I doubt anybody would care what company they worked for with him being there.

It's no secret that Miyamoto-san owns PlayStation products. It was his idea for a Metal Gear on the GCN since he's a huge fan of the series. I highly doubt the big names in the industry only use their products. Just thinking that is absurd.
