Game Informer are wrapping up their month of coverage for Zelda: Breath Of The Wild and in doing so they learned how Mr Miyamoto and Mr Aonuma work and train with Nintendo’s younger generation of developers. In the video segment, which can be found on their website, the two explain that younger devs tend to follow trends and fads whilst the older equivalents at Nintendo don’t tend to do a great job keeping up with current game aesthetics. Miyamoto and Aonuma are both highly praised individual developers but they both agree that it’s imperative that the younger and older generations work together to make unique experiences.
Take a look below at some of the points raised:
- Aonuma believes the younger generations are a bit more serious in some ways, which causes them to get lost
- The older generation goes on instinct, and they teach the younger generation to trust instinct and go with the flow the philosophy of Nintendo has always been to be unique and different
- Miyamoto tells the younger devs to think seriously about what they want to make
- Aonuma wants younger generations to use the older generation’s point of view for reference
- Whenever Aonuma finishes a game and shows it to Miyamoto he gets unexpected comments he could never have envisioned and these lead to new ideas
- Incorporating those unexpected comments to create new ideas is important to Nintendo

Heard you calling me?

Is that you? Or some famous person?
That’s Tilmen, from Nintedomination, a YouTube channel which recently has been renamed as Tilmendomination.
Sorry if I made you get confused!
*Nintendomination
No worries. I don’t have a YouTube account. Just watch random videos. So I barely know any of the channels. I do know Francis though (Boogie). I love his videos haha.
I like him as well, and hope he can get rid of his health problems as soon as possible.
Incidentally, I was watching this earlier today:

Giving them a Wii U would be like a slap in the face 😂😂😂😂.
“I won’t smash it for a video — I’m more mature than that, I don’t do that anymore. I’ll give it a funeral.”
ROFL!
My favorite video from him is the one where he destroys his Xbox haha.
||Nintendomination was uttered long before this Xbot even had a channel…||
Proof?
||It was a term used by ancient warriors like msyelf casually during the Ancient War, Tilmen just adapted it to his own…||
I wish I was born by that time frame. ;)
||Don’t ever show that Xbot face near my sight again…||
Oh oh… The good Commander’s got their dander up.
Are you threatening me?

That lady is cool!
Awesome stuff. Most people can’t really see it, but Miyamoto really is a genius when it comes to game development.
As someone who’s heavily into game design, I’m endlessly fascinated by the minutiae of details that are observable in the psychology of game making – and Nintendo are the undisputed masters of this.
Hard to see what isn’t there anymore.
You know, Nintendo did learn the hard way from there mistakes.
}{ *their… Apologies, but it was making me twitch… }{
Star Fox 64 and Metroid Prime were too good so they learned from those mistakes and made Star Fox Zero and Federation Force.
Exactly the point my friend :-)
Besides both of those series looking good my princess.
I’m ok with aonuma, not so much with miyamoto tbh
>Aonuma believes the younger generations are a bit more *serious* in some ways, which causes them to get lost
>Miyamoto tells the younger devs to think *seriously* about what they want to make
well they are two different people, so its ok if they have conflicting ideas
The Switch bad & boujie. Cooking up games wit a Uzi.
I’d also like to hear what Sakurai San tells the younger generation..
Miyamoto says think seriously…
Aonuma says they get too serious…
Sakurai says.. . WTF? Just make a darn good game.
Sakurai probably says… test it yourself for 9999 hours until your fingers lock up. Then rest. Test for 1 more hour. Then the test it again but more seriously….but be careful. Don’t get lost. Go with instincts. Serious instincts. Got it?
Man I would love to just brush shoulders with those two men! I might gain some of the powers they have! Gonna be saving up for next 2 months and get a Switch around June. I’ll be a little late to the party but hopefully won’t run across too many BotW spoilers.
Good for you! See you there!
