He wants to make a first person game, not a first person shooter(FPS). Saying FPS is inaccurate.

"I actually do kind of want to make a first-person shooter,"  

I know he said it wouldn't be too violent, but he said FPS himself, hence the title

He said "kind of", meaning almost but not quite. You intentionally omitted the "kind of" to make it look like something different then what it is.

People are fudging what he said to suite there preference including the writer at Kotaku with his "wants to make a game a little more like Doom or Call of Duty" when Miyamoto is saying absolutely nothing of the sort and in fact made it clear that such a thing would not be the case.


Do you call games like Kings Field first person shooters? I would not doubt that whoever wrote that took liberties witht he translation of his words as well as Miyamoto does not speak English. That interview needs more context and transcripts.

FPS is a game genre.  It does not imply violence. There is a water gun FPS on WiiWare.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I definitely didn't intend for it to be misleading, I don't even think it's misleading. I don't why you jumped to that conclusion. As mike (from morgantown) said, the FPS genre doesn't mean a game is necessarily violent, it's not my problem if a few users think of explosions and blood when they hear the term 'FPS.'

The man himself calls it a first-person shooter, multiple times.

And to be honest, it's pretty fun.

So now it's not just Sakamoto pretending Metroid Prime never happened.

You seem rather profligate in your spending. If you have too much money on your hands, you need only ask and I can help relieve you of your burden.

I hope it will be an WWII shooter that takes place in the pacific.


Playing as Japanese or American ?

if it was Japanese it would be not an FPS but an rape simulator.

I believe he would want to make an fps, he wants in on that money train of a genre.

Add tentacles to that, and it's an instant system seller for Wii U in Japan !
