Miyamoto 'Banned' From Talking About Hobbies

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the they-might-learn-our-secrets dept.

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.

      I just want to take this opportunity to point out that the Wikipedia article on Bukkake explicitly states that it "may require cleanup" to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.

      That is all.

    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.

    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?
