Miyamoto on the games and consoles of yesterday and today |
Ó
It's no real surprise that Famitsu chose to feature famous Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto in Famitsu's 1000th anniversary issue - the guy had a lot to talk about. In a previous article, we reported that the famous designer discussed Nintendo's intentions regarding Wii sequels to Super Mario Galaxy, and Nintendo DS plans; this time Miyamoto took a brief stroll down memory lane before ending with a word of encouragement to players.
For example, Miyamoto recalled the founding of Famitsu way back in 1986. Commenting on the early days of the "video game renaissance," Miyamoto reportedly spent every day wondering for how much longer people were going to play video games, and what he and Nintendo could do to keep people playing. "Though people today might consider me part of the first era of Japanese game designers, back when I got started, Pac-Man was already huge," he said.
Fast forwarded to the present time, where Miyamoto had an interesting bit of trivia regarding the Nintendo DS: apparently, Nintendo made the portable with the intention of housewives who enjoyed playing Super Mario back in 1985, but who quit playing video games, anyway. Miyamoto also praised the game design of the games in the Professor Layton series and encouraged gamers to not give up on video games.
