PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 66. Creator of Zelda, Mario, & more. - Satoru Iwata, age 59. President of HAL from 1993-2000, President of Nintendo from 2002-2015. QUOTE: Miyamoto: Iwata may have passed on, but the company is going strong. Thanks to all the ideas and systems that he left behind, our young hires have been able to thrive. What makes me sad is that if I have a crazy idea over the weekend, there isn’t anybody I can tell about it on Monday morning. When I’m eating lunch, he isn’t there to say ‘I think I’ve figured out your problem,’ which leaves me feeling stuck. I really miss him.

PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 70. Creator of Zelda, Mario, & more. QUOTE: Miyamoto: If it's really nice outside, you should go play outside. And I tell that to people who want to be game designers as well, you know? If it's a nice day, you know, go experience outside, because really, I think there's an important factor that it's your personal experience. Then when it links with the experience you're having with this virtual entertainment, that's when the joy, the fun factor, really explodes exponentially. And so I think it's really important to get a lot of different life experiences for both the people who are creating the games as well as people who are playing the games so they can really be able to fully enjoy the whole experience.

If you wanna know more about patents go here, the news cycle will not give you an accurate description of how these things work.

I saw the Pokémon patents when they came out and didn’t want to comment, bc I knew some people are gonna twist it. Lo and behold, Elon stan Florian Mueller, aka Games Fray, delivered a load of misinfo using incendiary languages.

The thing that makes me feel the most disconnected with gamers online is that I'm perfectly okay with video games coming out and not getting constant support. In fact most of the time I prefer it

I've read 100s of Shigeru Miyamoto interviews; this one is a top five, easy.

A long Iwata, Miyamoto, and Itoi (Earthbound creator) discussion on the nature of creativity, how to cultivate it as a leader, artistic aesthetic, how to collaborate creatively

iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/w...
Itoi: Like yakisoba that's got burnt bits in it. If a big company were to bring out yakisoba, they would talk about how it mustn't be burnt. A rigid conversation ends with the conclusion that yakisoba must never be burnt. But when you keep the conversation rolling, someone says, "It's inexplicable, but that burntness is fragrant and tasty." … But when you follow strict product guidelines in a meeting, you just lop off every imperfection. Miyamoto: Yes, that's how it goes. Itoi: If you don't get past "Yes, that's right," that's what happens. Iwata: Because something without flaws is without character. It doesn't bear its creator's imprint or have any personality. Miyamoto: So sometimes when we're presenting what we've made, we end up saying, "I guess it's okay, right?" And I think that's really unacceptable. … You'll ask the director, "How it's look?" And he'll answer, "It's passable." How could you call something passable? … When someone asks, "How is it?" I think that it takes more courage to answer, "It's pretty good." Itoi: Hmm, that's true. Because "pretty good" means "good.” Miyamoto: Compared to that, "passable" doesn't really tell you anything. Is it 10 percent out of 100? 80 percent? 60 percent? It doesn't even tell you that. "Passable" takes away everyone's responsibility. Iwata: It's unsettling, because at that point the discussion is taking places without any set values. Itoi: Rather than preparing Plans B and C, you should use your time to polish up Plan A, the one you really think is good. You're the same way, aren't you, Miyamoto-san? Miyamoto: Yes. I've never thought of alternate ideas. Itoi: Or, you haven't ever attended a meeting where you had to pitch your presentation so that it is accepted, have you? Miyamoto: No. I was in an environment where I made decisions myself and continually asked myself whether it was truly good or not. Itoi: … If you're constantly worried about what so-and-so will say, the project or team will never grow. … You may think, "What will the customers say?" You may worry too much about these customers you can't see, which shrinks your idea. Miyamoto: I don't know if it comes from not having a boss, but I can't tell if I'm a good boss or not. Itoi: Oh… Miyamoto: For example, staff members who have worked with me for a long time will often come up to me and say, "I thought of something," but about 70% of the time, I say, "That won't work." I know it isn't nice, but I know if that idea was mine I'd decline it too, I have to say it anyway. Sometimes, I think if I don't stop that, I won't be able to help anyone grow. Itoi: Well, part of that can't be helped. Miyamoto: I know, but when I think about it later, I didn't need to be so harsh for about 20% of that 70%.
