The classic racing series F-Zero hasn't seen a legitimate new game since the masterpiece F-Zero GX hit the GameCube back in 2003. To say that the series is suffering from a drought would be an understatement, and Nintendo took a bit of heat for using many of its fast-paced mechanics in Mario Kart 8 rather than developing a new game. Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has gone on the record to...
Nintendo's one-and-only Shigeru Miyamoto has some harsh words for its rivals over at Sony and Microsoft and all of the third-party developers who flocked to support them. You're boring! In an interview with The Telegraph, Miyamoto doesn't exactly mince his choice of words. "What the other companies are doing makes business sense. But it's boring." Miyamoto explains further saying the...
Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the most celebrated game designers in video game history, but now he has a new title he can throw on his resume: film director. A handful of short films Miyamoto created called Pikmin Short Movies will debut at the Tokyo Film Festival on October 25th-31st, and at some point during that frame, Miyamoto will work with Dwango and its streaming service Nico Nico...
Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the designers at Nintendo responsible for a lot, if not most, of the company's success. He's the man behind Mario, Zelda and Star Fox. And he was even involved with phenomenons like Wii Sports. Basically, he's a key figure for the company, and when he speaks, writers and gamers pay attention. In a lengthy feature recently published by EDGE magazine, Miyamoto...
Project Giant Robot for the Wii U went a bit under the radar at E3 last week due to it being announced in the same event as the new Star Fox, but Nintendo Creative Lead Shigeru Miyamoto still has quite a few fun ideas for the simplistic robot brawler. The only problem is that explaining the unique mechanics the Wii U's gamepad brings to the experience isn't that exciting, and showing...
Shigeru Miyamoto has mentioned that his role at Nintendo has vastly changed over the years, but never to such an extent that he has suggested in a recent interview with Gamekult. The legendary game designer stated that he could very well be stepping away from the series which made him a household name, Super Mario Bros. “Creating a game of the caliber of Super Mario 3D World takes a...
I've always enjoyed a good rant from Mega Man co-creator and current head of Comcept Games Keiji Inafune. I don't always agree with what he has to say, but the outspoken video game developer has never been one to back down from his thoughts and says some truly great gems in the process. Take his recent IGN interview for example. Inafune has a lot of respect for Nintendo think-tank...
Time for all you Pikmin fans to start digging, and I don't mean for strange little carrot creatures either. Nintendo Creative Director Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed the existence of a secret code hidden within the game, and he wants you to find it. Taking to the Miiverse to make the announcement, Miyamoto explained the basics to finding the secret code. I don't suppose you've come...
One of the most common criticisms of Nintendo these days also happens to be one of its strongest praises a decade and a half ago. The company is second to none in creating exclusive franchises that fans want to keep coming back to, but those on the outside looking in can't seem to grasp why they refuse to branch out and try new things. Simply put, it's the Nintendo way. Nintendo makes...
I suppose the only people who will instantly understand the headline that runs along the top of this article are those who consider themselves big Pikmin fans. Fans understand that the major difference between Pikmin and Pikmin 2 is, put simply, stress. Pikmin was a timed game. You started a level and only had a certain amount of time to complete the tasks in front of you. When the...
