Miyamoto vs. Everyone Else

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the games-people-play dept.

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'."

    Yeah, okay, some of his games are good. But to call him the God of games? I don't think so.

    I used to own a nintendo and yes i had loads of fun with it. I realize now how much of my time was consumed playing that game instead of spending time with my family and friends. Social skills are on the down side today do to games systems and computer games. We need to be sure as adults we regulate our kids time and ours for that matter. A true friend will be there in your time of need and games are being put in there place.

  11. Nintendo's design model is simple by SteweyGriffin · · Score: 1, Troll

    But they often make mistakes. I mean, I hope things are better with their Gamecube model that's out now.

    Back in the N64 days, though, it was often:
    1. Take an old SFC/NES title
    2. Add "64" to it
    3. Take away the plot
    4. Make all the gameplay elements shit
    5. Give it crappy polygonal gfx
    6. Make some silly ads for it
    7. Delay it
    8. Delay it again
    9. Delay it again
    10. Delay it again
    11. Either repeat from step 8 or release it

    Kind of harsh, but kind of true as well. This is why they lost so much ground to the Playstation and X-Box consoles. N64 just didn't cut it, and the kids weren't interested.

    Interestingly enough, your friends are fucking losers who don't ever get laid. They enjoy jacking off to gay porn. I'd waste more time insulting you but it's a waste of time with someone as stupid as you - faggot.

    My wife surprised me for Christmas this year and bought me a GameCube. She couldn't hook it up to the TV

    Yeah, those fucking Asian brides aren't good for shit. Sucking cock and making mass quanities of rice, that's about it.
