Miyamoto 'Banned' From Talking About Hobbies
walshy007 writes "After Shigeru Miyamoto developed a love of puzzles, the "brain-training" software that has proved to be an international "killer application" on the Nintendo DS console was born.
He became interested in taking more exercise, and Wii Fit was created. He took up music lessons, and Wii Music was the result.
Now, according to sources at Nintendo, the games designer has been banned by the company from speaking publicly about his hobbies."
I guess wii Bukakke didn't quite catch on as well as the other Japanese classics did.
What most people don't know is that he has a strange fetish for women dressed up in furry animal costumes. I wonder what the next game would be like?
Depends on if they are working on a Wii BDSM game.
So the next game will be about somebody who has been banned from talking by his corporate overlords.
The first rule about hobbies is, you don't talk about hobbies.
It's true I tell you, feller at work's next door neighbour read it in the paper.
I'm barred from talking about my hobbies by my employer as well.
Might have something to do with all the razor blades and dismembered animal parts.

Wiit coming soon to a dining room near you!
No smoking sigs indoors.
Actually, we already had Star Fox.
And Animal Crossing.
I don't think a game based on Hobbits would do that well.

Clearly Nintendo is looking to base their future games on his personal interests:
"Super Eating Out Mario Bros"
"Wacky Workout"
"The Chronicles of Shopping"
"Watching Reruns on TV Fiesta"
"World of Internet Porn Surfing"
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
What if his hobbies are running around Tokyo carjacking, beating up ho's, and shooting wildly?

And here I thought that it is the next logical evolutionary step for the Wii.

Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens
Next game he'll be making: Wii Censor
Now THAT would be interesting, to say at least...
"Move your wiimote to control a virtual whip, and punish that nasty slave refusing to comply with your orders. Online supported!"
It's amazing what people will put up with if they're paid enough. I image that Mr Miyamoto is very well paid by Nintendo, so much in fact that the outrageous imposition of not being able to discuss his hobbies with people is bearable.
So for now on, he will post as AC?
Lock the wife and the dog in the boot of the car.
Return one hour later.
Who's happy to see you?
The size of Wiimote, and the fact that it does vibrate, is a pretty good adhoc vibrator...Except that it's not water proof.
The next step is that Nintendo allows Miyamoto's hobbies to "accidentally" get leaked in order to get Microsoft and Sony to waste all their time.
Word on the street is that he's taken up knitting, and he's started a rock garden. Run with that, Xbox dev team!
If they had any damn sense, they would ask him to engage in misdirecting the competition. He could claim to be taking up knitting, or needlepoint, or horticulture. Maybe stamp collecting. Fine hobbies to those who are interested, but I wonder what the excitement factor would be to the game version. Let some crappy knock-off company sink their R&D into that!
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.
Nintendo would have to market specially designed tentacle controllers for this concept to be effectively implemented.
512 MB RAM, 20 GB disk, 200 GB transfer, five datacenters. $19.95/month.
CONDOME.
Two cocks enter, one cock leaves.
3laws: No freebies, no backsies, GTFO.
To be comparable with the jesus phone they would have to cripple the range and make it drop out regularly.
Gotta be the most overhyped POS of the last 10 years.
