Aiming with the Gamepad gyro while steering with the control stick, and holding the pad up to look at both screens at once? Sounds awkward as fuck. I actually sat down and tried it with my Gamepad and it was both uncomfortable on the hands and annoying on the eyes. (Don't know about you, but my eyes only have one focal depth, can't look at a screen half a meter away and one two meters away simultaneously) It seems like Miyamoto is so obsessed with trying to find "novel" ways to use the Gamepad that actual convenience and good design has been forgotten. Look at his Project Giant Robot for example, it shows the same painful awkwardness in the name of being "unique". At this point it sounds like the whole game will be a Gamepad tech demo, like a Starfox-themed Nintendoland. I never thought I'd say this, but Miyamoto has become more of a liability than an asset to Nintendo. Time for him to retire. |
So based on impressions in Time Magazine of a game you haven't played that is in very early production stages you have determined not only that the game will be terrible, but that Shigeru Miyamoto no longer has anything to contribute to the company and needs to retire. Wow.
At the risk of a ban, there is no way I can think of to describe this post than pure idiocy. A prime example of the ridiculous overreaction that characterizes the internet.
