Miyamoto's quality control: Ninten-do what Sega doesn't


Though we usually award it to a particularly irascible commenter, the latest Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award simply cannot be pried from the clutches of one Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Donkey Kong, Mario, Zelda and just about half of your best childhood memories.

Tucked inside Wired's 15th Anniversary retrospective, a quick interview with the renowned developer reveals his secret to maintaining "quality control" in a company as large as Nintendo. "I'm always instructing my game designers on the history of the characters and worlds we've created," says Miyamoto. "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.'"

Oh my. Not to worry, Sega, at least Mr. Miyamoto knows about your games. He's never even heard of Ratchet & Whatshisface.

You guys are taking it way too seriously. I'm sure he is joking. Also it's not like sega is so innocent. http://youtube.com/watch?v=yIAA66rZTLI This isn't arrogant?

Thats what they all say, I remember when David jaffe attacked miyamoto about his comments concerning twisted metal and the way he was attacked, when HE WAS SERIOUSLY JOKING.

Miyamoto is too cocky thats all.

But ATTACKING RATCHET AND CLANK, is wayyy too much.

Also I find it hard to believe somebody would say screw you to the person who made influential games like Donkey Kong, Mario, and Zelda. Not to mention that sony is far more arrogant than this. Microsoft not far behind.

Example of miyamoto being too cocky other than this which is obviously him joking?

Shall we bring some sony rep interviews into this?

Edit: Also how do you know he really didn't know what ratchet and clank was?
