Nintendo Designer Shigeru Miyamoto Reveals Why He Makes Video Games

Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that before making video games, he wanted to write and draw manga. The legendary Nintendo designer acknowledges that it’s his job, as a video game designer, to create fun and unique experiences for consumers. Miyamoto claims that the thought of people being surprised by his works encourages him to continue with his job.

“I think my starting point was I wanted to write and draw manga. Basically, this hope of mine materialised in game creation. So, to put it very simply, it’s my job. My driving force is that I really love surprising people, creating fun experiences and moments for them, [and] finding ways to help them enjoy themselves.”

  1. I hate articles about miyamoto. He is a legend but my god so many ppl on here kiss his arse saying he is such a genius, a god amongst men etc etc etc

    Please stop it. Please refer to the actual article and stop writing the same old fanboysih comments like In miyamoto we trust. Seens how u all forgot wii music? :p

    Don’t get me wrong I lov the guy too but I don’t go into a religious preach mode and say he’s better than my own dad…ok I am exagerating but yeah…

    1. Well, I ain’t a Nintendo fanboy, more a PC fanboy, but I would hold him as a significant figure of the gaming world. I mean, he is a genius, he has created memorable series that have become huge. I would say he revolutionised the gaming industry. Oh and to all the trolls and Nintendo haters, just thought I would make this clear, I’m a PC fanboy and not a Nintendo fanboy. So you cannot use the “oh you’re such a fanboy” crap.

      1. But starting to pray him the minute you hear his name without even caring in what context it was used sure is some kind of strange behaviour…
        Refer to the article at least.

      but he’s the triforce of wisdom & the great hero who save gaming in the 80s he’s a devine beast that once called apon lengend say the sky turn black & the earth shakes from his greatness i allso heard if you shake his hand you’re you become gifted & if you play his games you have eternal youth

      1. That is what he is saying but like whatsgostch said… people start to bumlick him and its painful to read.

        I think Maker is dead on.

      1. the question is what do YOU do for a living apart from typing out U mii and wii which is fucking annoying to read…

        do you want an achievement for the biggest tosser on here?

        1. Says the most common species of troll on this site. I ought to takes you down using either this sacred blade or Kratos’s Chains of Olympus. XD

  2. ok hes my idol and i know comment before me said not to write about him but goblok kamu(in indoesian) he makes games because he enjoys it not for money which is why his games are the best

    1. I didn’t say don’t talk about him. Talk about his work without screaming omg hei s da fucking best I would die for him bla bla bla.

      Unfortunately this site is overrun with narrow minded fanboys so chances of nerdgasmic fanboyish comments is highly likely
