Wired: Nintendo is huge now. How do you maintain quality control?

Miyamoto: I'm always instructing my game designers on the history of the characters and worlds we've created. Often we're in development and I'll say, "Oh, this looks like a Sega game. We need to make it look more like Mario."

:bow Miyamoto

Wii Fit -- not a videogame
Nintendo Dogs -- not a videogame
Mario -- one decent vidogame in the last 10 years

all irrelevant in today's videogame industry

Sugiyama
When we first went to talk with him, the Wii Balance Board was still a square because we were still going with the bathroom scales motif, and it was still too narrow to do the exercises in the Yoga and Muscle Workouts sections of the game. So we started talking about maybe designing these sections to function like your typical fitness DVD, in that you work out on the floor while watching a trainer doing the same on the screen. We compiled footage of a number of trainers doing different exercises and showed the movie back at the company to see what everyone thought. While we did so, Miyamoto-san suddenly shouted "That’s it!"

Iwata
Come again?

Sugiyama
We just looked back at him puzzled, because we had no idea what he was going on about. And then he got angry and told us off for that.

Matsunaga
I was there at the time, and I didn’t know what he was talking about either. I was just confused as to what he was getting angry at us for! (laughs)

in fairness, the developers seem to indicate a crucial role for Miyamoto in those interviews, although who knows what they'd say if they were talking to a neutral party in confidence and not the president of the company  :lol

They're on notice until SoA2. At that point, I'll bother picking SoA back up again.

Would have loved to see Mario "Shadow the hedgehoged" though.

Pfft, I've had them on notice since they bastardized the PS franchise with those shitty Diablo clones.

Sega sucks, only fegs like Sega. I saw a thread on Cheap Ass Gamer where Meijer's was selling Nights Wii for $2.99. People were like "what a deal!" I was thinking, "A SEGA game for $2.99? Highway robbery." I'll wait until the pricedrop to 50 cents and get it and a pack of gum.

It must suck to work in the shadow of Shiggy. Japanese devs just dont give a fuck about their employees. We all remember in the '80 how jp devs would FORCE people to use nicknames for the credits sequence of games because 'they were afraid of having them recruited by other companies' or some bullshit.

I wish Shiggy would challenge himself and come up with his own new concept that is far away from the usual mario cutesy stuff.
