Interview with Shigeru Miyamoto

Take a moment and learn from one of the pillars of the video gaming industry.

Entertainment Weekly was right on in mentioning Shigeru Miyamoto as the Steven Spielberg of the gaming industry. There are classics out there, such as Legend of Zelda, which stick out in some of our minds the way that Jaws does in the minds of so many film buffs. I feel like Mr. Miyamoto is a father figure to me, because really, when I was six, I indirectly spent more time with him than my own father…

But moving on, Miyamoto answers questions of why he wants to lose weight to why he thinks Zelda is not doing wonderfully in the Japanese video game market right now. But the most visionary element you might see in an upcoming Miyamoto game?

“[Social responsibility] is yet another issue I might address in a game. But I probably sound like an old man when I bring these things up,” he said in the EW interview. And by social responsibility he of course means respecting your elders and paying taxes. Man this guy knows how to party.
