For over 45 years, Shigeru Miyamoto has worked at Nintendo to some degree, so it’s hard to imagine a Mario home without the veteran director and designer. I think so.
in an interview with NPRMiyamoto spoke about his inspiration, the future of Nintendo, and how the company’s shared vision drives its familiar essence. I think the creators and executives still out there will mostly keep things the same.
“Look, I feel like it hasn’t changed,” said Miyamoto. “It will probably be the same. We have the management team, the in-house creators, and the people who create Mario, and they all feel this way about what it means to be Nintendo.”
Miyamoto believes that will lead to a shared understanding of Nintendo. He explained to Nintendo that everyone is pretty much on the same page, even when the company introduces new ideas.
“There’s always the fact that it’s a new idea, but there’s also the fact that it’s a new idea that really has the essence of Nintendo. There’s a shared vision about this that’s a bit scary. So it’s not going to change.” I think — it won’t change,’ he said.
On that same note, Miyamoto expressed bittersweet sentiment when NPR asked the director which Nintendo world he’d like to live in when the time came for the afterlife. I love my current environment because I can. He joked that he wanted to keep it in a similar place.
Nintendo today seems to show Miyamoto’s vision. Even after his decades there, repeated iterations in hardware provided familiar faces like Mario in new ways.Most recently, Nintendo hosted its soft opening super famicom world Theme park at Universal Studios Hollywood.This is his second location of its kind and the park continues to Expansion with Nintendo staples like Pokemon.
In a recent interview with IGN’s Miyamoto, the creator offered a different take on the company’s past and present.While he may think things will stay pretty much the same, Nintendo has had surprises in the past. Skepticism about theme park ventures But I’m glad it finally took shape.
