More quotes by Shigeru Miyamoto
A great idea solves multiple problems at the same time.
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
My days all follow much the same pattern. They are structured and typical.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Nowadays I think it's really important that designers are really unique and individual.
Shigeru Miyamoto
A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.
Shigeru Miyamoto
All the time, players are forced to do their utmost. If they are challenged to the limit, is it really fun for them?
Shigeru Miyamoto
Their attitude is, 'okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.' It's kind of a passive attitude they're taking, and to me it's kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself with more advanced games.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Throughout the Zelda series I've always tried to make players feel like they are in a kind of miniature garden. So, this time also, my challenge was how to make people feel comfortable and sometimes very scared at the same time. That is the big challenge.
Shigeru Miyamoto
What I'm really excited about is that continued challenge to create things that gamers of all experiences can play.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Up until now, the biggest question in society about video games has been what to do about violent games. But it's almost like society in general considers video games to be something of a nuisance, that they want to toss into the garbage can.
Shigeru Miyamoto
When I look back I can tell that after I started having a family, I certainly wanted to make games that could be played with all the family members.
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
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.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Nintendo's philosophy is never to go the easy path it's always to challenge ourselves and try to do something new.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Who knows how Mario will look in the future. Maybe he'll wear metallic clothes!
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
What I found is that just in the lifestyle today, people have fewer and fewer opportunities to get exercise.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I'd like to be known as the person who saw things from a different point of view to others.
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.
