Shigeru Miyamoto reflects on his legacy and retirement

[mrvetchu]

oh god, what a way to pronounce his name..

[187RailroadBull]

Immortal

[MrFreudb]

the last word

[Badassrambo101]

He create my game legend of zelda long live shigeru

[Shubbidubba]

Intai suru tsumori demo nai shi, mada intai suru to shitedemo nai tte iu to omotteimasu kedo ne. It tottaly makes sense that all the sylabbles would appear glued together in an actual japanese script. I like how japanese sounds. It's kinda poetic.

[jacktsang05]

Even if you love the PS3 or Xbox, Nintendo is the cherry on the top.

[wonphi]

@jacktsang05 I'll have to agree with that, definitely.

[ShakinJamacian]

I hope there's an afterlife, so Miyamoto can keep doing what he loves to do for all time. ;_;

[juancarlosnerv]

you are the boss Mr. Miyamoto!

[BatmanTheMaskedDemon]

Thats bitches voice...

[iurilx]

the 2 dislikes are SONY and MICROSOFT!

;)

[LegendOfGamez]

@iurilx dude im a nintendo fan. but stop saying shit you have no clue of do you want them comming in here talking shit stop being a shit starter. we already know the wii u will crush playstaion and xbox but just chill 2012 are year and they know it

[iurilx]

@LegendOfGamez It was joke a little joke, like them too, don't be mad bro ;)

[LegendOfGamez]

@iurilx lol im not mad. notice how i said that other stuff so sony or microsoft fans would say something guess you didnt catch on

[GeeNee9]

YAO ZOOMIN GAMES! Shigeru Miyamoto did not make Donkey Kong! As a gamer, I feel like I have to say this!

[ZoominGames]

@GeeNee9 Oh but yes my friend. Miyamoto's first game project for Nintendo was the creation of Donkey Kong. Of course he wasn't the big boss back in that time (we are talking early 80s) but still it was the design by Miyamoto. And the guy who's jumping over the barrels to reach the princess is called Jumpman. Later Jumpman became Mario.

[GeeNee9]

@ZoominGames Well, you just facepalmed me. I totaly forgot about the original Donkey Kong, you see, I just watched a documentary on Rare.

I now feel ashamed to call me a gamer.

[ZoominGames]

@GeeNee9 lol - Gamers worldwide will forgive you if you play Super Mario Bros world 1-1 with a blindfold on or play classic Donkey Kong 'till the killscreen.

[GeeNee9]

@ZoominGames I have played Donkey Kong 'till the killscreen!

[RadekaLplus]

God these subtitles are terrible. They're putting words in his mouth that he is not saying at all.

Not that they're entirely changing his apparent opinion, but still, it's not what he's saying.

For instance at 2:25, what he's really saying is "I always think, 'I don't know if I can make anything better than the previous game.' But nonetheless, there's always new products coming out."

[Nederob]

2 people always lose with Mario Kart

[cadmus98]

He's only 59, and game development can't be a particularly physically demanding work. Plenty of authors and musicians keep going into their 70's.

[Shadowkunakari]

@cadmus98 ... lol

[SrSomoza]

Yo can like it or not. But the industry needs Miyamoto and Nintendo.

[SHlNOBl3]

shigeru miyamoto.

the greatest man in history.

[husambusam]

He is those weird type of guys who can be cool

[CrabStance]

@husambusam Correction: He is one of those guys who ARE cool! WHO ARE COOL!

[PimpMatt0]

He has all my respect.

[Saltydko]

go k wing

[2958joker]

as soon as this guy retires, all of his games will NOT be the same

[jacktsang05]

@2958joker After he retires every game coming out will be a FPS and MMO

[mrweegeerific]

What's that atheists? no god? THEN EXPLAIN SHIGERU MIYAMATO

[lunar0123]

miyamoto-san when you retire. that day will be historic day on the game history when great veteran will pass his knowledge for next generation of programmers and finally receive proper rest of hero that made many children and adults, happier with games, thanks again. E^D since a play the first time i play super Mario 64 until today for you, still as a friend i never met.

[mewtwo711]

The only time I have ever seen him not smile is when the Wiimote messed up when presenting Skyward Sword. Live on, Shiggy!

[elvickRULES]

The man.

[Doodlegoon]

The man responsible for my great childhood. <3

[Tobalosiner]

>I'm jealous that we have to pass away, but they get to live on

>Sketchy list of games for the WiiU around last year's E3 included a title called Miyamoto Game

MIYAMOTOOOOOOO

[rabbidbros]

miyamoto can't retire not after what Nintendo has been though.

they kicked Atari's ass

pissed on Sega

and mugged Panasonic

NINTENDO FOREVER!!!!!!

[rockez09]

I hate people that are obsessed with photo realistic games and that think Graphics > Gameplay.

Dont we play videogames to get AWAY from reality?

[Knas88]

@rockez09 word!

[deathshadow2492]

The world will miss Miyamoto on the day he retires.

[GrandeJavardo]

DONT RETIRE,NEVER!!

[iBirdboi]

The man's a genius.

[aimanfire1]

YESH PIKMIN 3 8D

[BeverageBoy11]

Thumbs up if you got here from K-News

[BeverageBoy11]

Thumbs up if you got here from K-News

[shadowthebeast]

God have spoken

[iTzFrantiC]

I can't stand the fucking way she says Mario.. it's MARIO. Not "Marryo" dumb bitch.

[irgendwii]

@iTzFrantiC he CREATED Mario. He can pronounce it howerver ever he wants

[iTzFrantiC]

@irgendwii Can you not read what I typed? I said I can't stand the way SHE says mario.. I'm obviously not talking about Shigeru, idiot.

[denderfurger]

Please identify her accent for me , where is she from ??

[thaDaniroy]

no other developer can say that they made something that will outlive then

[ThePro777Gamer555]

Whatever Nintendo does, It'll surely be good.

[mitonitro]

Como amo a este hombre.

[ThePro777Gamer555]

@mitonitro Es super

[2583060]

its WII U WEEEE NOT VIIIIII VEEE U

[squerintain]

He is bluffing, nothing will outlive him... Hes God, so he can't die.

[Phostings1]

@squerintain Lmao!

[xROBERTxDAVISx]

if i want reality id go outside!

[javierortiz82]

HD means more pixels horizontally and vertically per inch, photo realistic games don't have anything to do with it, photorealism is an aproach that tries to emulate reality, which to me sucks, if EA wants me to win the superbowl sitting on a coach, I'd better lose against a friend with a real ball. Gaming is about crossing reality's boundaries to make special experiences, I can't understand why COD is so successfull, there's no joy blowing someone's brains out. And, Miyamoto = gaming god.

[AliG4life]

@javierortiz82 YOU find no joy in blowing someone's brains out. Opinions... :P

[milky1234123]

@javierortiz82

couldn't have said it better myself

[evilzacob]

Mare eo

[Gammalad]

To know Miyamoto is behind Luigi's Mansion 2 and Pikmin 3 reassure me that the games will be great :)

[dedpxl]

UNDISCLOSED ORIGINAL GAME!!?!?!?

I wonder what it would be? A new IP with new characters? A spin off with familiar characters? Or a small download game...

[Fuzunga]

Major pronunciation fail with his name there.

[CactaurJumbo]

Pikmin 3...

my body is ready

[smilesterXtrem5]

Miyamoto smiles so much. I can't imagine gaming without him.

[SuperSonicXZERO]

@smilesterXtrem5

same here lol

[missinghead980]

>Donkey Kong

>Mario Kart

[Arxidianomeas]

@MrJesuspuncher You know what ? I played Skyward Sword and Skyrim,and Skyrim sucked me in it.I was more interested in Skyrim.But after a while I got Wind Waker to run on an emulator at my PC and I was amazed so enough to stop play Skyrim and get focused on Wind Waker.Which means this man has done better games than he does now.After all,he is about 60 years old now.

[Arxidianomeas]

@MrJesuspuncher And if this man hadn't done Mario 64,no games today would feature camera controls.If this man hadn't done the original Zelda,the genre of Action RPGs wouldn't exist and all RPGs would be turn-based and linear.And if Ocarina of Time wasn't made,Night/Day cycles wouldn't exist.More than 50% of gameplay mechanics used by modern games where discovered by this man and became standards.So please show some respect to this man,who for the last 30 years shaped the whole industry.

[sheikhylian]

@MrJesuspuncher I find Skyrim (on X360) boring for some reason. I have Oblivion and feel like Skyrim is just a new world with nothing special except better graphics which aren't that good by the way. A world filled with uninteresting characters, boring dungeons: kill, take, level up, boring puzzles. However, Arkham City is a much better game imo. I mean, THAT'S an improvement. Assassin's Creed Revelations is horrible. Skyward Sword is as always a new amazing Zelda experience.

[sheikhylian]

@MrJesuspuncher Oh yeah and my first game in Skyrim glitched at the very beginning where the dragon breaks the wall where you have to jump. It never broke so I was stuck. What's fun about having to save your file all the time because you don't know when the game is gonna break anytime because of how well done it is. This game was made because they knew they would make money. Nintendo wants money too, every company does, but not every company offers NEW experiences.

[sheikhylian]

@MrJesuspuncher Ubisoft tried it in Revelations. They add new experiences but it didn't work well. That's what happens when you just want to make money and try to make a game fast. That's why Nintendo kicks so much ass. They manage to make new experiences all the time without failing. And geez, the Wii as a console is horrible, but the games MAN that's a totally different story. Nintendo are still number 1 to me. I thought that Skyrim was supposed to be THE big game. What was I thinking?

[XZAceXZ]

@MrJesuspuncher i know ur a troll.. but anyways please respect this man.... his ideas revolutionized gaming, and well... IF U DONT LIKE A VIDEO DONT WATCH IT ! haters these days..

[GigaEXE]

I love this man.

[CaptainSamsquanch]

"including pikmin 3 on the wiiu". that line makes me cry with joy

[NandoSupes]

The Master.

[sleygzz]

Wii U and Now This!

Nintendo.... You Are the best!

[BlackFuryFx]

I could listen to him talk about games all day

[mapinator7]

1UP

[neochris2]

This E3 is going to be so good

[Maciekjit]

Ciekawi mnie też jego poczucie humoru, pod koniec się śmieje, jak by miał się zaraz zesrać :) hahaha :)

[Maciekjit]

No ciekawe jaką grę zrobi człowiek, który stworzył Mario i Zelde

[sleygzz]

Only one thing!

He is The Master!

[JuanFe995]

HE IS NOT RETIRING, he's just transfering to another less important position

[ilsamiri7]

I don't think anyone is asking for 'realistic' graphics, just do something that's not KIDDY for once and the visuals don't act as distraction to a well developed plot.

[AshXXMayftw]

@ilsamiri7 A game doesn't have "kiddy" visuals, they have different visuals. For instance Wind Waker was celshaded, and Skyward Sword has impressionistic art design.

[MangaPlCTURE]

A true legend. Even if his new game's going to be something in the vein of Wii Music, I ain't gonna be mad. He has given this industry so much, he shall be allowed to do whatever the hell pleases him until retirement.

More developers need to get away from photorealism and warfare scenarios. This is a medium thats finally making truly creative visions possible and so many mainstream developers still just rely and shooting some shit as ,realistically' as possible. So boring.

[Moonlight437]

I just wanna hug him :)

[AnimaxRules]

NEW IP?? will buy day 1. Looking forward to further clues (E3 2012)

[DisarrayINC]

I'm sure the woman reading this is synthesized.



[WiiFolderJosh]

I can't believe how stupid some people are. Why do people think HD = gritty realism? HD is a simple image resolution, it has nothing to do with it's style. Pixar movies are HD for example...

[MurdocLC]

@WiiFolderJosh Yeah, HD has nothing to do with the graphics it self, it's a resolution ffs.

[ECCWii]

@WiiFolderJosh idiots will be idiots i guess lol.

[AliG4life]

@WiiFolderJosh ALL Blu-ray movies are HD... Pixard movies on DVD are still SD.

[AliG4life]

@WiiFolderJosh Pixar* When is Youtube going to add a fucking edit option? :I

[Veowe3]

I so cant wait for Pikimin 3! and this new IP he is talking about.

[Sephazon]

I've never played Super Mayreeo Bros. I've play MARIO though.

Idiots.. learn to PRONOUNCE!!

[marzy17]

@Lomns When did he say he's not interested in HD gaming? He just said he's not interested in photo realistic looking games. I for one prefer creative art styles over realism.

[Arxidianomeas]

@marzy17 Both are good depending on the concept of each game.And depending on your mood at a given time,you will want to play different game concepts.We don't have to choose between one or another,we can play both.

[AliG4life]

@marzy17 You can have a mix of both, though. Look at games like Folklore, Demon's/Dark Souls, etc.

But anyway, Miyamoto is awesome.

[marzy17]

@AliG4life Sure, I never said you couldn't. I just said I prefer creative art styles over realism. :)

[AliG4life]

@marzy17 Ah, then I agree. xP

[fannboygh]

@marzy17 but then again,a photo realistic pikmin????

[MurdocLC]

@Lomns STFU u idiot.

[shinyray01]

@Lomns This dumb ass...

[Hamhark98]

@Lomns Miyamoto made Mario and Zelda and Pikmin and helped to make F-zero and Starfox. None of these have realistic graphics. That doesn't mean he is not interested in HD.

[harmfulifconsumed]

@Lomns You're the fucking dumb ass, he's not interested in dumb ass "dude bro" realistic games, he's interested in games with actual GOOD design, not your faggy Gears of War.

[Eyeolus]

@Lomns Lol, you got thumbed down to nothing fast. But you deserve it.

[sheikhylian]

@Lomns Why wouldn't he be interested in HD gaming? Higher resolution makes the game looks better. Who the FUCK would say 480p looks better than 1080p? Photo-realism however, doesn't improve anything. That's all. Get used to it. If you prefer photo-realistic games, that's fine, but don't say Nintendo fails, creativity is a good thing when games are done well. Photo-realism being better is NOT a fact and never will. I just hope you are able to understand this.

[zizo47]

I LOVE THIS MAN!

[Eirik99]

Miyamoto, you're the KING!

[Moviesandvideo]

I wish Sony never entered and ruined console gaming. Fucking Sony.

[SergeantLuke]

@Moviesandvideo Hey now don't be hatin'. Without Sony we'd have been deprived of lots of great games.

[Moviesandvideo]

@SergeantLuke I'm shure we'd still have them because all the great Ps2 games were third party.

[AliG4life]

@Moviesandvideo Go cry in a corner over there, and come back here when you've grown up.

[eldestsucubus]

mario mix 99

mega mario returns, mario edition.

[Mariohenri90]

Vii u?Mayrio?

[FalconFetus8]

Miyamoto, at heart, is really just a big kid.

[themouseinator]

@FalconFetus8 I'm going to assume you mean that in a positive way.

[Rittto4]

Ah, can't wait to see what the new material is!

[ZZEROO99]

When someones idea's out live the creator then you have truly created Art.
