Shigeru Miyamoto On The Challenges Of Making 'Super Mario 64' In A Newly Translated Interview

Forbes: "In a newly translated interview with Shigeru Miyamoto from the mid 90s, we now have some more insight into the development of the hugely influential Super Mario 64 and how the team tackled its then new 3D approach to platform games."

That's the fourth time I see an article about this interview being on N4g.

“In earlier Mario games, we were able to measure the number of pixels Mario could jump and know exactly what was possible. But this time, we had to design the levels so that as long as your jump was “close enough,” you’d make it; it was too hard for the player to judge. This was a design change we made in the middle of the development, when the game was far already very complete. There was a lot of booing from the staff.” -Miyamoto

I predicted it would be Hermen Hulst as the new CEO, I never predicted there would be another…

Hulst will likely Host the PlayStation press event and hopefully there will be a positive energy at this new beginning for the division. I’m encouraged that both he and Hideaki Nishino reference the future so it sounds like Sony has a plan.

I'm a bit skeptical. The new guy is unknown. Of all the leaders in the past 18 years Sony has had great leaders at the helm Carrying on the legacy of what made PS great. Sony's has a newer vision and focus for PS this time around. We'll see what happens.

As I said before two leads can be a good thing wherever they want to take PS they'll have a single joint focus and take PS to new heights (if said focus is gamer first) or bad if they have two different visions. Then you'll end up like the circus clowns over at MS.

The plan: everything on Steam day 1

Oh God no!! We have seen nothing since Hulst took over WW Studios. As a gamer ands PS fan I’m worried about what would happen

-Foxtrot1h ago

Well hopefully they have a plan because Herman hasn’t really done much since he got promoted last time

Remakes and remasters mainly

This is a really nice selection to me because Hulst is an actual game developer and has been doing so for decades. A developer in charge of making games. Not bad.

Plus the separation of responsibility is interesting and a nice way of handling an incredibly complex role.

PS studios has zero output under Hulst.

Only remasters and PC ports

Dude even managed to kill Naughty Dog

Joint venture could be very tricky. They need to be on the exact same page on things. It's two guys calling shots.

We know Herman, but we dont know the other guy or his motives/agendas. Obviously it's to make money but how he'll go about it we'll see soon enough.

That's why they would need 3 , so when they disagree they can vote . 1 on 1 could be asking for trouble, but at least sony isn't letting 1 guy take playstation in "his own direction ".

Interesting. 2 CEOs sharing the workload.

Two men enter (Hulst/Nishino)
One man leaves (Ryan)

The Thunderdome reference wasn't lost on me 😎

mudakoshaka1h ago

@Barlos Had no idea that was from Thunderdome. I remember a similar line from Con Air when Steve Buscemi says it to Nic Cage after fighting the other guy in the cargo hold. Con Air must have taken it from Thunderdome.

Hulst will be CEO of the studios business group, and Nishino CEO of Platforms.

Relientk778h ago

Good luck to them and I hope they do great jobs. Let's see the games. Really hoping that rumored PlayStation Showcase is coming up soon.
