Miyamoto Says Sony Controller is 'Flattering'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the quite-the-understater dept.

GamesIndustry.biz describes an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, in which the designer refers to the PS3 controller as 'flattering'. From the article: "... it kind of reinforces in our minds that we're doing the right thing. What they've done is just take your standard controller and add in this motion-sensing device that's similar to what we did back on the Game Boy Color many years ago. Maybe if they were to completely copy and go with a remote and a nunchuk and two motion sensors, I might be a little more concerned. But I don't think they're anywhere close to that."

    FTA:
    Miyamoto went on to discuss Sony and Microsoft's showings at E3, stating: "They're talking about the next generation of the same old videogames - it's the same old experiences with new graphics."
    Kind of hypocritical given Nintendo's track record of Mario platformers, racers, beat-em-ups and tennis games, along with the neverending Zelda series and the myriad Pokemon versions.

    about a third of the articles on this site are about games.

    How about some articles on IT folks who sit in front of displays all day getting out and getting some exercise? Or, articles about reducing stress - exercise, meditation, or whatever - Scotch reviews would be better than some boring video game review! .... At least something about reducing stress or a healthy lifestyle - Ok, Scotch doesn't fit.

    If you're job is to sit in front of a computer all day, it can be sent anywhere in the world! No exceptions! How's that for stress and the need for stress relief?
