In a new interview, Mario and Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that he’s interested in making a first-person shooter but doesn’t have enough time.
"I actually do kind of want to make a first-person shooter," Miyamoto told Kotaku, "but I don't have time."
"Rather than necessarily the question of 'What kind of weapon do I have?' in a first person shooter or 'What kind of effect does that have on an enemy?', I think that the structure of a first-person shooter is something that's very interesting," he said. "Having that 3D space that in theory you are in and being able to look around and explore that -- particularly being able to do that in conjunction with another person -- is very interesting."
Miyamoto added that Wii U’s support of two GamePads could make a first-person shooter “very fun,” suggesting that two people viewing a game’s world through GamePads “could create a very fun and unique gameplay experience” if they’re in the same room.
Miyamoto most recently worked on Pikmin 3 and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, two titles shown off last week during E3. In addition, he was said to be working on an all-new original game earlier this year.
