Iwata: Most of the Time and Resources Spent on Cut-Scenes Could Be Spent on Something Else

Well, it depends on the game really. Some games do cutscenes really well while others just have too many of them so yea I guess?

Just played a new game on new super mario bros, 30 second mandatory cutscene was too much.

Meanwhile I can't imagine a Final Fantasy without the mandatory 2 hours cutscenes as the intro (of course there are a few minutes of fight/exploration in the middle)

Well, thats the difference between doing a great cutscene vs doing a bad one. Like for example, when I am playing Love Death 4, it has like 2 hours worth of cutscenes until there is any real sex so I hold the skip button and bam, skip through that entire nonsense vs say MGS, I can't get enough of those cutscenes! It truly depends on the game
