More quotes by Shigeru Miyamoto
A great idea solves multiple problems at the same time.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I think I can make an entirely new game experience, and if I can't do it, some other game designer will.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I know as a child, I was really interested in becoming a manga artist, to create my own stories and illustrate them and present something that people would be interested in reading and looking at as well.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Nowadays I think it's really important that designers are really unique and individual.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Angry Birds is a very simple idea but its one of those games that I immediately appreciated when I first started playing, before wishing that I had been the one to come up with the idea first.
Shigeru Miyamoto
For a long time at Nintendo we didn't focus as much on online play because for many years doing so would have limited the size of the audience that could enjoy those features. But certainly now we see that so many people are connected to the Internet. It opens up a tremendous amount of possibilities.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I made some games, but I'm pretending like I didn't because they all turned out weird.
Shigeru Miyamoto
This is the entertainment industry, so game designers have to have a creative mind and also have to be able to stand up against the marketing people at their company - otherwise they cannot be creative. There are not that many people who fit that description.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I don't let Mario appear in just any kind of game. Mario could not appear in Zelda games. They are two distinct game worlds.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I don't think as a creator that I could create an experience that truly feels interactive if you don't have something to hold in your hand, if you don't have something like force feedback that you can feel from the controller.
Shigeru Miyamoto
My days all follow much the same pattern. They are structured and typical.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I don't really think of things in terms of legacy or where I stand in the history of Nintendo or anything like that.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Originally, I wanted a machine that would cost $100. My idea was to spend nothing on the console technology so all the money could be spent on improving the interface and software. If we hadn't used NAND flash memory and other pricey parts, we might have succeeded.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.
Shigeru Miyamoto
A late game is only late until it ships. A bad game is bad until the end of time
Shigeru Miyamoto
What I found is that just in the lifestyle today, people have fewer and fewer opportunities to get exercise.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Controller is so intuitive, even your mum can play.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I think that inside every adult is the heart of a child. We just gradually convince ourselves that we have to act more like adults.
Shigeru Miyamoto
In other words, I'm not intending to start from things that require a five-year development time.
