GameCube strategy game Pikmin might have been inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's gardening, but do you know why he made the game?

"Every once in a while, you want to make something that high school girls can get into," the famed Nintendo creator said at a recent symposium. The concept behind Pikmin, reports Japanese site 4Gamer, was to make something that they could play.

Pikmin, originally released in 2001, had a series of commercials in Japan that featured the tune "Ai no Uta" or literally "Love Song", which became a hit tune.

If the authorities find a school girl cut up into perfect 20 centimeter portions, you guys know who did it.

*Recently on Foreign Minds, Foreign Crimes*

Japanese Detectives: What compelled your spirit to enact crime?

Miyamoto: My spirit felt motion in regards to perfect symmetry and the flesh of beauty

Japanese Detectives: Where are rest of pieces?

Miyamoto: I cannot enlighten you on these things

Japanese Detectives: Why must you hardball us?

He was simply doing research for a mature launch title for the WiiHD. If he committed a crime at all, he committed the crime of caring about his craft too much. This is no different than when he does research in his garden.
