Maybe so, but Miyamoto did not mention Resident Evil, so your hypocracy claim is false.

This is how Nintendo got to be the best developer in the business that's created this *false* conventional wisdom that 3rd parties don't like Nintendo systems because their games can't compete with Nintendo's. Conventional wisdom is the worst "wisdom" of all by the way.

Kudos to any company seeking to improve itself. Quality is part of their reputation and they like to get their games as well-received as they possibly can. I knew looking over the months at Twilight Princess's Japan sales that Nintendo was not happy with that output in the least. I was so surprised about it that I wrote a thread looking into the history of Zelda in Japan not long ago based on VGChartz figures. Zelda's name isn't quite as big there as it is here. The original and Ocarina of Time were the highest entries of that region. All Zelda games are excellent (save for those CD-i entries) but Japan simply isn't as behind this franchise like we are. I know that bothers Nintendo seeing as the Zelda universe is probably its second most notable mascot franchise.

I'm sure they will review what's going on here & the next Zelda will have a fresh direction. Seeing what's wrong and trying to remedy it is how you become the best in your field. That's a good thing in my view.

I think when one "hates" something, one will try anything to nit pick at that. Regardless of what Miyamoto said, some haters will somehow find something bad to say about it. On another note, I think Nintendo doesn't suffer from publishers pushing deadline which most of the time is the cause of a poorly released game, such as spidey 3. They have the advantage of time, which they can fine tune the game until is fully ready.

Well, ok, enough about the SMB vs Halo stuff. How about we change track a little bit. What do you think about his comment where he wants to make a game that will make kids behave better and people pay taxes on time?

halo??

ahahahha nothing compared with operation!!!

 ever tried mod packs on OFP???

 IMHO best war game ever and one of the best fps ever!

americans like guns... this is the reason why halo sold well. face it. it' was the only decent fps on xbox..that's the reason. halo 2 was not so hig game... halo 3 will be the worst... for sure.

Penny-Arcade's opinion of Halo in 2001 (soon after it was released)

In all honesty Halo's single player game was not particularly special when compared to a lot of PC games of that time. What it really did was bring a lot of PC FPS storytelling elements to the console and was (by far) the easiest lan party game; 2 or 4 consoles and 2 or 4 TVs meant that you could have a pretty good party with (next to) no effort, trying to get 8 to 16 people with decent PCs to play a game was a nightmare.

just my opinion!!!

halo series sold well.

but as game nothing to compare with pc games.

would be a good thing add xbox sells to pc sells and then compare with best fps series on pc.

IMHO halo it's not as good as many pc games.

it sold well it's true.

 but this reinforce miyamoto statement!!!

it would be easy for him considered the best game designer ever to make a game like halo.

change halo with another fps A+ game for pc.

statement is valid again.

so to return in topic:

no miyamoto san it's not like kuturagi san.

and kuturagi san is far better than new sonian guys...

I can't believe you guys are disecting Mr Miyamoto's statements like this. English isn't even his first language. Have you seen his E3 2006 preview. He gets lost in the English so he asks someone to translate for him as he speaks Japanese. Shame on you. If you dissect anyones statements or lives enough you will find a scandal or something stupid that they say.
