| Millennium said: Comparing Nintendo to Tezuka is frankly going a little far. Tezuka was an artist, whereas Nintendo is a corporation, and these things have real consequences. For Tezuka, the art was an end in itself; for Nintendo, as with all corporations, the art is a means to an end (namely, making money). But in terms of trying to turn an art form that had previously been looked down on into a valued medium capable of expressing many genres -in other words, what they're doing as opposed to what they want- I can see the parallels. It does make me wonder when we'll see Nintendo releasing porn, though; Tezuka even did a few of those. |
Would it be more apt to compare Miyamoto to Tezuka, then?
