Shigeru Miyamoto to Keynote Game Developer's Conference
Gamasutra is reporting that legendary Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto will be headlining a GDC keynote during the event this March. Jamil Moledina, the director of GDC, covers what Miyamoto will be talking about and a bit of his long history in a post to the GDC blog. From that post: "Getting him back to GDC has been tricky. While having spoken at GDC in 1999, Miyamoto-san's commitments are considerable. Thankfully his boss gets what GDC is for. As you may know, Satoru Iwata has inspired the GDC audience two years in a row, with iconic and revealing addresses. Both instances mapped to surges in developer interest in and support for Nintendo's platforms, which speaks to the dramatic symbiosis between platform and developer -- as well as the effectiveness of the GDC biosphere in enabling the productive sharing of knowledge and experience."
Do Nintendo games have a weakspot you can hit for MASSIVE DAMAGE, though? I didn't think so. I'll stick to Sony keynote speeches thank-you-very-much.
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
Exactly. You need the power that only the PS3 can provide to do envelope pushing features such as "Real Time Weapons Change".
It will probably sound something like this:
It's-a me! Miyamoto!
Get his ass back in the office, chain him to the desk, and tell him to finish Mario Galaxy!
Two Nintendo consoles in a row without a Mario launch title?! Who's in charge there?
