Necessity is the mother of invention. I love solving things like that. Because there wasn't enough memory, thinking of an economical way to make the movements look right was like solving a puzzle, and I had a lot of fun.

More quotes by 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
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
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
Providing new means of entertainment is the important thing.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Video games are bad for you? That's what they said about rock 'n' roll.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Players are artists who create their own reality within the game.
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
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
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
As a kid, I was a big comic fan and I liked foreign comics as well.
Shigeru Miyamoto
A late game is only late until it ships. A bad game is bad until the end of time
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
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
Who knows how Mario will look in the future. Maybe he'll wear metallic clothes!
Shigeru Miyamoto
I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play.
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 don't like all the attention. I think it's better to let my work do the talking.
Shigeru Miyamoto
I made some games, but I'm pretending like I didn't because they all turned out weird.
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.
