Nintendo News | Miyamoto Speaks Wii and PS3

By Jorge Ba-oh 22.05.2006 10

With the PS3 and Wii debate sparking interviews with just about everyone in the industry it wouldn't be fair to leave out game creator legend Shigeru Miyamoto.

Mario's father sat down with Edmonton Sun during E3 for a chat on all things Wii, and the PS3 controller that has caused a stir in the gaming world.

The first thing on the agenda was finding out what Miyamoto took to those who tried the Wii, how they got on

Maybe if they were to completely copy and go with a remote and a nunchuk and two motion sensors, I might be a little more concerned. But I don't think they're anywhere close to that."

The wrath of shigsy is always delivered with a smile! Smilie Hes got a good point though. Its also shown the lengths Sony will go to to stay at the top, though it seems to have blown up in there faces at the moment!

Indeed - he's justified the Wii pretty well there, and now it seems that a majority of people who were undecided seem to just laugh about it, or accept it now - definitely positive to see.

" we did back on the Game Boy Color many years "

That's the point here:

He noted that Nintendo "found that people who don't normally play games are able to pick (the Wii controller) up and understand it and use it very quickly, but people who have been playing games for a long time have a little bit more of a learning curve, because they have to relearn."

that's exactly the impression I got here with you good people. Most of you think, it is a bit strange to put the joypad aside and use the wiimote. Was I the only one who was a bit disappointed when Ninty revealed the 2-sticks-like-always-pad? Now I have a slight fear, that 3rd party will release the first bunch of games for Wii and then deliver all-platform-games who will be playable only with this pad and not with the wiimote. I hope they take the time and implement a wiimote into the next Prince of Persia, the next Devil May Cry( Smilie ), the next... whatever and not only deliver a 1:1 port.
Because if they do, the Wii-player won't buy these games, 3rd-parties will decrease and only the original titles for Wii will survive on Wii.

That would be a *real* shame!
Hope I'm wrong.

By the way: What did Sony do to the GBA?

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

I think Nintendo made acrucially smart move by not revealing the controller at last year's E3. If they had done this, Sony would have had more time to copy other unique features of the Wiimote. It's almost unquestionably understandable why nintendo goes dark on many things concerning their hardware and software as it's the most effective way to hinder cpoying. I wish JB you'd asked Shigsy whether the Rumours that that Nintendo's graphics chip was still incomplete were true. If so, it might mean better graphics on some of the games we saw at E3. Anyway that all aside. Great interview JB, i'm really excited this year really is the true beginning of a new era for Nintendo. I'm glad i didn't get a DS when it was realized and even more relieved that i didn't on impulse purchase an imported DS lite. Now come June 23rd, i get a Back DS woot! woot! Nintendo i love you.

Mr. Miyamoto-san always thinks one step ahead and usually comes off pretty well. I respect him for his honest opinion and he usually brings us down off of our high horses and lays down the facts and that is why whilst Mr. Miyamoyo-san is with Nintendo, there is never anything to fear.

How in the world am I going to afford all twenty launch titles?! At this point, they all look good to great... PS3 may actually turn out cheaper for me. (In their dreams!)

Steady on! I'm planning on picking up 5 launch titles out of the 20 and then build the collection over the following months. Nothing to expensive - around

'What they've done is just take your standard controller and add in this motion-sensing device that's similar to what we did back on the Game Boy Color'

He he... Still outdated, even when they try to do something new Smilie
