G4TV: Miyamoto On Mario Galaxy 2, Zelda and More

X-Play's Blair Herter had the honor of sitting down and chatting with Nintendo's legendary Shigeru Miyamoto during E3 2009. Among the topics discussed were:

* Going four players with New Super Mario Bros.
* Super Mario Galaxy 2
* Integrating ideas from 2D development into a 3D game and vice versa
* Introducing fresh ideas after decades of game development
* The new Zelda game
* Metroid: The Other M
* His thoughts on Microsoft's and Sony's respective forays into motion controls

Miyamoto is my idol. He seems like a cool guy to hang out with.

Above me.

This guy has his finger on the pulse of gaming. Everyone brings up Mario and Zelda and maybe DK, which is understandable because these now franchises have become pillars for gaming greatness. But what is lesser known is his involvement in projects like Wave Race 64 and 1080 Snowboarding which to me are still the greatest jet ski and snowboarding games ever.

Then things like Wii Sports which is as groundbreaking as Super Mario Brothers was back in the 80's. Nothing but the utmost respect for dude, as he is responsible or partly responsible for many of my greatest gaming memories and experiences.

Man I am so far into COD for the Xbox360 I forgot about Nintendo.
But having watched that interview I remembered that I love Metroid and Zelda and I will pick up those titles when they do hit.
As a matter of fact I will go by Metroid corruption today. Hehe .. Yeah I am weak minded and easily persuaded.

As a zelda fan i demand a shirt like that one >_>...

[SpoonyRedMage]

I bet he has a whole collection of handmade t-shirts that only he has.

For all the fools trashing Miyamoto, please keep your dead end, miserable job, and understand he made something of his life.
