That's a funny coincidence. I plan on playing his games until I die.

Long live Miyamoto!

Wasn't this the guy who said that PS4 and Nextbox are going to feel limited because they don't make a tablet controller? No wonder he is thinking that he can't be fired. Such arrogance.

And this is a very good thing. Hopefully we will see more on a new IP from E3!

Great post :D

I can't even imagine a world without him. He IS Nintendo. Hell, he IS video games.

Nintendo doesn't have 1 man to succeed him, they have several: Koizumi for mario games, Aonuma for Zelda, etc.

Also, I agree with Mensrea, they should let him step aside from the big franchises and experiment with some new things, which could end up being either full retail games or download games for the eShop... as long as they are not a new WiiMusic.

I just want to let you know that after playing with the Wii U suddenly every game on the Xbox 360 actually does feel limited. I keep thinking to myself, "God, I wish I could play this game with the Wii U GamePad." every time I pick up the 360 controller. The PS4 and Xbox 3 will suffer the same fate unless they make a similar controller mandatory and design their games around them. Which they won't. And no, smartphones and tablets does not cut it. Not by a longshot.

Only sad thing is that you need to have used the GamePad yourself to understand, which Miyamoto himself admitted. I, too, was skeptic before I tried it out.

You probably felt exactly the same way when you used wiimote, right? Did you also tell that everyone who would try the wiimote would love it, perhaps?

I hated the Wii remote from start.

But the traditional controllers must have felt limited, because they lacked something which wiimote had. I can't see anyone enjoying gaming without an option which some people may or may not like ie. motion controls/secondary screen.

Boy, now I really feel limited since I have tried both wiimote and the tablet controller. Why my favourite controller does not have those absolute necessities which I loved when I decided to try them out! Damn you, why did you have to tell me that!

This guy is the best at what he does. I grew up playing games he made and still go back to them from time to time. He is ahead of his time.

I think he is being held back from full potential of technology available though and that is a shame.
