More quotes by Shigeru Miyamoto
What I found is that just in the lifestyle today, people have fewer and fewer opportunities to get exercise.
Shigeru Miyamoto
My days all follow much the same pattern. They are structured and typical.
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 never really participated in specific sports or anything, but once I hit 40, I started to get a little bit more active and began swimming more.

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.

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
I made some games, but I'm pretending like I didn't because they all turned out weird.

Nowadays I think it's really important that designers are really unique and individual.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Providing new means of entertainment is the important thing.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I could make Halo. It’s not that I couldn’t design that game. It’s just that I choose not to. One thing about my game design is that I never try to look for what people want and then try to make that game design. I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Video games are bad for you? That's what they said about rock 'n' roll.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Most people think video games are all about a child staring at a TV with a joystick in his hands. I don't. They should belong to the entire family. I want families to play video games together.
Shigeru Miyamoto
You can use a lot of different technologies to create something that doesn't really have a lot of value.
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
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 great idea solves multiple problems at the same time.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I'd like to be known as the person who saw things from a different point of view to others.
