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.
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?
