More quotes by Shigeru Miyamoto
A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.
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
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 think Zelda 64 is utilizing about 90 percent of the N64 potential, ... When we made Mario 64 we were simply utilizing 60 to 70 percent. So we have come a long way I believe.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I'd like to be known as the person who saw things from a different point of view to others.

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.

You can use a lot of different technologies to create something that doesn't really have a lot of value.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Players are artists who create their own reality within the game.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play.
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
Nowadays I think it's really important that designers are really unique and individual.
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
Providing new means of entertainment is the important thing.
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
Game music has a purpose and it does incorporate sound effects.
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.
