So Miyamoto said that about Halo, how important. I'm more concerned about this:

Why do you think Zelda isn't doing well in Japan? Well, I think a lot of people who bought the Wii are not necessarily the types of people who are interested in playing that kind of game. And a lot of the people who would want to play it [due to chronic shortages of the console] can't find a Wii! But mostly, I think it's that there are fewer and fewer people who are interested in playing a big role-playing game like Zelda.

I want to have more Zelda-like games on the WII and not all that party games crap. 1-3 games is fun but if the WII turns out to be a party game console only, my interest will not only loose in the WII but in gaming in general as the WII is for me the only interesting (next-gen) console.

don't worry about it WiiGirl76, Wii won't lack for good games. Party games are being made non stop and eventually people will stop buying them, the market will hit saturation and they won't do well. So long as the market is there (and there are still plenty of people who own Wiis who like rich, deep games, otherwise Zelda would not have sold so much) then the games will be made. It's simply the laws of capitalism, supply and demand. Hardcore gaming isn't going anywhere.

At most we'll see it end up more skewed towards the casual, but there will still be games for the more hardcore gamers

 Wow, little hostile there eh?  Halo 1 & 2 are both awesome games. They completely elevated the FPS genre to a whole new level (not to say that Goldeneye isn't still awesome), and clearly were a huge influence on videogame development. Liking Halo isn't anywhere near brainless, much unlike your statements.

 NO YOU'RE WRONG!!!!

MIYAMOTO SAID:

"One thing about my game design is that I never try to look for what people want and then try to make that game design. I always try to create new experiences that are fun to play."

so

miyamoto is saying that he has his vision on game design.

americans play all games where they can shoot...and sometimes they "play" to shoot real people...

it's american culture...

miyamoto says that would be easy make a game design target to shooting game...

he makes what he design not what people want him to design.

as he explained at GDC.

 it's his way.

 you can accept or not.

miyamoto it's best game designer ever so he can say that making a game design similar to halo one it's easy for him.

and I believe that he is right!!!!!

 no...miyamoto is not like kuturagi!!!

you can't give pearls to pigs...

Sigh... I call BS on this one. I've played dozens of FPS games in my life... Crap, I was a competitive CS player back in the days when it was still beta 6. Played it all the way through 1.6. I've played almost every FPS on the N64 and beat Goldeneye on 007 difficulty.

I have dozens of friends who I LAN with on a consistent basis who have done the same thing. Do you know what? At least 2/3rds of us absolutely love Halo.

Stop trying to pigeonhole Halo players simply because you don't like the game. Admit that it's a good game and move on. So what if you don't like it? I don't like fighters but you don't see me trolling forums telling everyone how they should take their copies of SSBM, Tekken, and Virtua Fighter and burn them because the games aren't as good as they think they are.

Oh, for crying out loud... Stop comparing 20+ years of gameplay in Super Mario Bros. to 4 years of gameplay in Halo (since none of us have played Halo 3, no one can comment on it). I would hope that in that time, Myamoto changed up the gameplay a bit in the SMB series. I'm not bashing the series, I own and beat every damned one of them. They're great games.

Besides, Halo is a strict trilogy. This series ends after this. If Bungie decided to radically change their gameplay element in the third installment, don't you think that would kinda alienate their fanbase, not to mention throw their tightly-woven story for a loop?

 No he makes games that will sell jsut like almost everyone else does....

Everyone does realize that New SMB and Nintendogs have both outsold Halo 2, right?

He should have said something like... "I made Super Mario Bros. and I believe that is the best selling game ever."
