Miyamoto tries to prevent childish writing in Mario games

Miyamoto discusses the age gap in the audience for Super Mario Galaxy 2

[-Mezzo-]

Thats nice.

[Tomdc]

ooops wrong place sorry

[Valay]

Mario games don't really have much of a story anyway, but what he said makes sense.

[Rocket Sauce]

I'm going to skip the game and wait for the novel.

[Neoninja]

Funny how you get disagrees for making a joke. N4G I love ya

[Pedobear Rocks]

that attracts me to the game.

PBR.

[sikbeta]

lol the loli Resistance disagree with you

[ruiner4482]

Did someone say lolis =D

[Tomdc]

I think the story in galaxy is poor compared to sunshine. I liked how despite the fact there wasn't much story you felt like you were progressing and making a difference as you went on.

[BiggCMan]

i know what u mean. also in sunshine, i just loved spraying water everywhere, it was so fun and addicting, and it felt meaningful to the game. in galaxy, there is nothing to do outside of the main levels that u get stars in. in sunshine, there was loads to do in the plaza. still though, i really like galaxy, and galaxy 2 is just as good, ive got already and its basically the same thing, although im not far in it, only got my first star.

[RageAgainstTheMShine]

There is one Ps3 game that took a lot of pages from Miyamoto's book of resonance. That game is Uncharted 2. The only brilliant thing they did was add a little story and boom! it resonated to me after I finished the game. It was just like coming out of the cinema, blown away, goes to bed thinking about it with a happy feeling of awe.

[SpoonyRedMage]

The haters are going to jump on this but I think this can be applied to all facets of Nintendo's game which is why many of their imitators have failed.

Even with things like Super/Cosmic Guide they don't patronise the audience.

[tunaks1]

agreed,
trolls are bashing this because a "lastgen" and "kiddy" console has a game that outscores their favorites. They use the excuses that mario is too kidy, or too milked to hide their trolling

[Ocelot525]

it's not trolling, it's just more like "what has the game industry become"

developers who deliver quality get less sales than developers who are thinking about quick bucks

mario is really easy to develop and should be a $5 game, but capitalism fails here

same can be said about the Modern warfare games

[mikeslemonade]

Couldn't have put it better. I disagree with Modern Warfare though. It's their second game and it came out 2 years after the 1st so it's wasn't a "yearly milkage". And now infinity ward is gone so modern warfare is going down to the dumps anyway.

Mario on the other hand has basically been the same game since Super Mario Sunshine. All they do is add a new gimmick like "invisble mario" or "inside out mario". Nintendo probably spends most of their time polishing the levels than actually making the game.

[Millah]

Mario is really easy to develop? Jesus, the ignorance of some of you misinformed trolls never ceases to amaze me.

Theres a lot of things that people like you, who DON'T develop games nor understand a single thing about game design, really take for granted. Its a shame.

[jack_burt0n]

I dont think that applies to galaxy 2, but when they revealed super mario bros wii and its selling point was 4 player coop that was a case for wow we have run out of ideas.

Miyamoto is a legend but its now upto the people around him to innovate like he did and really push and evolve genres and that is not happening inside nintendo at the moment imo in regards to the core gamer.

[Meryl]

why does this hguy have lots of diagrees most of us middle aged gamers know that mario has existed since the 80's all they really have done is kept the same formula and added different gimmicks, each time you have to save the princess, that is not innovative, even though ninty fans claim it is:(:(

[tunaks1]

"mario is really easy to develop and should be a $5 game"
really? You make games?
lol
the levels they create are so dam smart and intricate, there not some poorly designed level you download for LBP

"Couldn't have put it better. I disagree with Modern Warfare though. It's their second game "
something is wrong here...

"Mario on the other hand has basically been the same game since Super Mario Sunshine. All they do is add a new gimmick like "invisble mario" or "inside out mario"

er again u fail, mario galaxy is closer to mario 64...
and it appears as if you've started gaming on a ps2...

how much of you trolls actually took the time to read the article,
i mean if your going to troll at least sound educated

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I hate to break it to you, but many of the levels people have created for LBP are extremely intricate and well designed. Many of them are made by actual game designers also. Grow up. Mario's fun, but don't compare it to a masterpiece.

[Darkfocus]

as much as I like Mario there's no reason to insult LBP some of the levels people make are astounding and better than a lot of retail platformers. Mario and LBP are both excellent games.

[sikbeta]

"the levels they create are so dam smart and intricate, there not some »[poorly designed]« level you download for [LBP]"

Are you Bashing, LBP as a whole?, the levels on it? or the User Generated Content by people that are NOT [Devs], but they do the best they can?... and WTF LBP has to do with Mario?

[ChickeyCantor]

" Grow up. Mario's fun, but don't compare it to a masterpiece."

When i saw a mario Level remake in LBP, it made me realise how depressing LBP is.

Its so freaking slow. It doesn't feel like a proper Platformer to me.

Im not saying the production value is bad, but in no way is it better than Super mario just because it has a level editor.

Yes i have the game myself, and havnt touched it after 5 times of playing it.

again the game is well made, but it got nothing on Mario.
The reason i got LBP is because im a platformer fan, but it just ended up in disappointment.

[DiLeCtioN]

Mario games are not easy.

[LittleBigSackBoy]

They are quite easy TBH

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

^Didn't beat Super Mario Galaxy...

[kesvalk]

^^ didn't beat ANY mario...

[ZombieAutopsy]

Super Mario World for the SNES is at least I think so.

[Darkfocus]

but the bonus levels and all the extra levels you don't need to beat are always challenging which is a good way to do things imo

[CountDracula]

Childish is sometimes good.

I mean you don't want to have Mario make some allusions about his "plumming skills" or Peach on how she has made Mario into a cuckold for her stinky (Bowser) jizz filled snatch for comic effect, now do you?.

[Kisama]

Childish writing? You mean like, "SNAKA DOODILY DOO!!!" or whatever the hungry luma's say in Galaxy 1?

[subzero-08]

Good to hear that.

[Obama]

There's a story in Mairo? Wow you learn something new everyday.

[tunaks1]

i believe when he refers to writing it means dialog...

[Chubear]

have your wii grow some balls then Miyamoto san

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Good stuff, Miyamoto.

It's a shame not many others at Nintendo feel the same way. *sigh*

I fully believe that Miyamoto and his visions belong at Sony.

[turok]

"I fully believe that Miyamoto and his visions belong at Sony."

No. at hindsight maybe but otherwise I don't see what Sony can do or offer Miyamoto than what he can already do with nintendo.

[ThatArtGuy]

Nintendo didn't have anything until Miyamoto created Donkey Kong. He pretty much built that company to what it is today.

[SpoonyRedMage]

'I fully believe that Miyamoto and his visions belong at Sony.'

Oh wow... that's got to be the most deluded, fanboyish thing I've ever read.

It takes a certain level of commitment to a company(Sony) to be able to come out with something like that.

[eagle21]

I swear as the years go by people get more dumb. Maybe Miyamoto can make a game for trolls called Super Dumb Troll so you can go comment on that. Just face it, Mario will always be #1. Now go die trolls!!! :) lol

[turok]

Mario is the #1 and any fool who denies this are only substituting reality with their own twisted world.

This said I like wut miyamoto has said.

[kesvalk]

its so funny, when a wii game gets a 10 and all of a sudden, all the trolls of N4G is here on wii channel...

go back to your caves dudes, no one wants to see you guys here...

[infamous_27]

That's why I hate the new Sonic games. They make me feel like I'm playing a baby's game -_-

[turok]

...Sonic even relevant to wut Miyamoto is talking about in the article?

[hatchimatchi]

Too bad the same couldn't be said about the paper mario series.

I love those games but good lord the writing is so insanely juvenile and annoying. That's the one thing I dislike about that series. There's nothing wrong with being light hearted but those games take it to a whole new level.

[SpoonyRedMage]

They're written by Intelligent Systems though... which is weird because Intelligent Systems are also responsible for Fire Emblem which is definately NOT childish.

[hatchimatchi]

yea, i knew they weren't developed solely by nintendo, i just couldn't remember the developers name. I'll have to check out fire emblem, i've been wanting to play those games for a long time but I'm absolutely terrible at srpg's. They look awesome though.

[soren]

Uh Cod are all the same :/ mario games arent galxy, sunshine and 64 all r dif as of cod same thing new guns and stanges its not like ders a diff in bein stronger in cod anyways mainly die in 1 hit so new guns dont count oh and the grafics r always horrible fun game though :-P

[spooky205]

he singlehandedly saved gaming for all with the introduction to some of the best franchises in gaming. However the problem lies with how the corporation is managing him. The wii is hard to defend with a huge array of lackluster games. The only games worth owning on the nintendo console are the nintendo games. There lies the problem, these corporations listen to what the casuals say, interpret their feedback and thus miyamoto has to create the game by the guidelines specified. MG 2 will most likely feature a instant win button while dumbing down some incredible platforming sections because casuals cant be bothered to try to become better players. Miyamoto is gonna be hard pressed to please the casual and gamer crowd alike. But who knows the man has done it before.
