Really? What other game designer can come close to his legacy?

But he's the epitome of Japan - equal parts creepy, cute and genius! When you apply that to games you get greatness - I must admit I've never played a Zelda game but I'm going to rectify that one day. You've gotta respect the legacy!

Jelle1880

Did I just hear him say that there will be more remakes of Zelda games ?

TeddyTedson

I think it's great Nintendo are expanding into the music industry with tours and everything. Go nintendo, bring out a mp3 player.

Sid Meier, Peter Molyneaux, John Carmack, Gabe Newell? There's loads.

Ocarina for the 3DS.....

Nice.

Still getting the Vita instead.

Those are all good examples but I'd say the average person would have greater knowledge of Mario than any of the games created by the other designers.

I dont think he actually knows what games hes created

Easily the single most important person in gaming ever.

Peter Molyneaux, really ?

All great developers, yes, but none of them have worked on titles like Miyamoto has (he also worked on Mario and Donkey Kong by the way).

GothPunk

Umm Iwata... surely the PS2 was 'equally satisfying for all players'?

None have made as many games over a wide range of genres that have had such a big influence.

Vita will be an epic fail I think.
3DS is different and not trying to replicate a console.

Nintendo are such a tease.

I wasn't really a nintendo kid growing up... I was Megadrive & PC... I would know all the ones KerranJast mentioned and Dave Perry on top of them as the main designers who influenced my gaming experiences growing up.

richymcdermott

never being a nintendo fan but they are the best for innovation, team ico and nintendo and naught dog are among kings

3DS is hardly dying on it's arse considering it's doing far better at the moment than the DS was doing in it's lifetime and it launch at a stupid time. PSP Vita with it's price point should be stiff competition though. 3DS won't have it easy.

Jelle1880

Even their stage is pure win.

DO A BARREL ROLL!

Josey Wales

Were they clips of 3DS games?

From reading interview with Sid Meier, Dave Perry, Peter Molyneaux and John Carmack, they all cite Miyamotos work as a massive influence and also regard him as the best game designer out there.

Same thing happened with the DS, took a good year before the good stuff started to arrive. Give it until Christmas.

WolfForager

I think that most people who bought the DS sees the 3DS as a slightly fancier DS and aren't really bothered to buy it.

Which is why PSP is as good as dead, hardly any good games out.

Well the DS had a weak launch, like the 3DS. But the 3DS is already selling well. It will be a big success.
PSP Vita is like the PSP launch again, they're trying to make a console/handheld. It didn't work, and it won't work this time.
It will be just like the PSP.

the thing is, the new home console might be out at christmas - that's hardly going to get people buying the 3ds

for what it is, the 3ds is overpriced and its main feature is one that 95% of players turn off. nintendo were due a relative failure, and i think itll be the 3ds

i love nintendo, but christ the 3ds is cack at the moment and doesnt really show any signs of getting better. mario kart? ocarina 3d? meh, lets get something new and decent

first console i ever gave back to the manufacturer due to not being used
