In an interview in the new issue of Famitsu, Miyamoto was asked why Nintendo‘s IPs are enjoyed around the world.
Miyamoto replied that the key to a successful game isn’t looking at what’s trending and trying to capitalise on that, but starting with ideas that the developers personally find fun and working around them.
“People have long asked me, ‘why does a mustachioed middle-aged guy like Mario sell so well?’ and I always think, ‘that’s a bit rude, isn’t it?'” Miyamoto joked (via machine translation). “Well, I wonder the same thing myself – why did an older guy like this become a hit? But if you look at it simply, it’s because he was introduced alongside incredibly fun games.
You seem to be under the impression that Miyamoto is running Nintendo. Your anger at their legal practices should instead be directed at their actual president, Shuntaro Furukawa.
You’re also threadiverse illiterate🤦♀️.
Downranking comments does not mean “I disapprove.”
Just reply back why you disagree, or get in pylova, and react it instead.
I’m allowed to downvote for whatever reason I feel like, and you’re being super obnoxious right now so I downvoted you. Deal with it.
……
ok 妊娠。
I have games to clean.
I’m actually politically literate enough to tell you you are wrong too.
When is Miyamoto going to quit, form a syndicate, and pay syndicalists what they yield?
Bruh, I know how capitalism is killing us. That still doesn’t make him responsible for the actions of an entirely different person. Blame who actually did the thing.
Then you should have said 7479.T șareholders. 古川 俊太郎 is just a highly waged worker. He doesn’t own the IP.
