Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Miyamoto response to Insominiac Spherical World Claim -> Is that a PC Game?

Content:

Issue number 25 of the Nintendo UK magazine asked the man behind Mario what he thought about Insomniac's comments that they were flattered that the spherical realms of Mario Galaxy were inspired by Ratchet & Clank. Miyamoto surprisingly asked if Ratchet & Clank was a PC game and stated that Nintendo had the original idea for spherical words way back in the N64 days. He was quick to reassure that it was not an idea from anywhere else and stated he's never seen Rathcet & Clank before.

Comment: Haha... Well... Ratchet & Clank is pratically none existent in Japan anyway... Take that with what you will...

pretty lame actually that he doesnt know who r&c are.

@Hawk: Yep, and we had a huge debate about it that settled on somewhere along the line: Isn't Earth/Planets/Celestial Body round? Can they claim they come up with the idea before... those come up into existence or something

 

@Luppien: Don't be too surprised, considering Ratchet & Clank's Japanese sales...

Nice on. I liked Miyamoto better when he just ignored such things.

Miyamoto "I could make Halo. It's not that I couldn't design that game. It's just that I choose not to"

Actually the spherical worlds are not the same between the two games, in SMG the levels themselves are spherical but in R&C it's just the level display when you choose it. It really has nothing in common.
