Miyamoto vs. Everyone Else

Ian_Bailey writes "Wired writes Nintendo won't grow up, because of Shigeru Miyamoto. The creator of some of the most popular franchises, and the head of most of Nintendo's creative development, constantly aims his games at children. Many other devloppers admire his creativity, and believe that a mature-themed game would rock the entire industry. A very interesting read, and a bit of insight into the 'God of Games'."

Kids games?!

[levik]

Are you kidding me? Since when is a game where you play an italian plumber out to eat magic mushrooms in a world that even Dali on an LSD trip would be hard pressed to come up with considered a "kids" game?

I need sex & violence!

[bwalling]

Yes, please Mr. Miyamoto, give me a game with sex and drugs and violence. My pathetic mind can't possibly be interested in fantastic gamplay. I need to see a little breast and some ass in order really like a game. Those boring games like Super Mario World just don't interest me. Couldn't I get to see the Princess' goods? How about throwing in a few pimps and whores? Don't you know that I don't play games for the gameplay?.

Re:bad business

This guy is not a good business man if he is devoting most of Nintendo's resources to children's games.

I know what a fantastic business person you are dirvish, but you have to remember, not everyone can be as good as you. Yes, you may be able to manage Nintendo 10 times better than it's currently run, but you have to understand, you're extremely gifted. You shouldn't brag about it.

I'm not saying you shouldn't use the skills you've been given, just don't rub it in someone's face if they don't have the natural talent you do. I'm sure they already feel bad enough about it as it is.
