Miyamoto is the nicest guy ever.
while others constantly insult, he chooses his words wisely

...really, Nintendo originated motion control? I think Konami and Namco would like to have a word with you, Nintendo, they've got quite a few things they've done over the last decade in arcades...
Also, isn't the design of move fairly similar to it's prototype, that was patented and demo'd long before the launch of the Nintendo Wii?
Sensationalist writing ftw!

Angry Miyamoto makes Mario Galaxy.
Gamers would love to see an angry, motivated Miyamoto.

At E3...I want to say 2005, NOA reps ran around taking up the cards he passed out with his private e-mail on it. I got to hold one for like twenty seconds.

Yeah, cuz that's the exact same thing:
Arcades and Consoles.
Alot of overlap there.
MrPliskin said:...really, Nintendo originated motion control? I think Konami and Namco would like to have a word with you, Nintendo, they've got quite a few things they've done over the last decade in arcades...
But Nintendo found a way to make it mainstream, not the concept of motion controls themselves an invention of his idea. And now the competition is following suit.

That's what Nintendo always says. They are "honored".
But then again, Sony and Microsoft always seem to honor them.
Hopefully that's sarcasm.

I'm not saying he's full of himself, quite the opposite, he's a nice guy. Just a little silly for him to say they 'originated the experience' when really all they did was bring it home.
Though, honestly if anyone else said it, I'm sure there would be a different tune here on GAF (and around the web).

Because they would be wrong, maybe?
"Honored" by the Playstation Move..? Sure... they're basically the same.
But Natal..? Shouldn't Sony be honored..? It's a (much better) PlayStation Eye.
edit...
I like you.

Sounds more like a backdoor dis at MS and sony. He never gives praise to any games not made by Nintendo.
well, you don't think the Wii didn't have anything to do with the decision to go with Natal and Move, do you?MrPliskin said:I'm not saying he's full of himself, quite the opposite, he's a nice guy.

I think it's safe to say we're all extremely interested to see what the follow up to the Wii will be, from a strategy standpoint that is.Speevy said:What if Nintendo had this genius foresight that the whole motion control phenomenon was going to burn out the second this generation was over, so they released a traditional console and left their competitors in the dust with failed concepts?

So, the Wiimote was all Miyamoto's idea?
MrPliskin said:I'm not saying he's full of himself, quite the opposite, he's a nice guy. Just a little silly for him to say they 'originated the experience' when really all they did was bring it home.
And that isn't much? Nintendo was laughed at for bringing the motion controls to homes. They had the guts to do it when Sony and MS didn't see it as people at Nintendo did.

So then you think playing the Konami boxing arcade game with the gloves (replaceable by a wiimote and nunchuck) is a different experience from Wii Boxing? Please do explain, because from a gameplay standpoint, they are identical.
There wasn't much in the way of 'poineering' or 'originating' with the Wii, outside of taking now affordable technology that had only previously been seen in arcades, and putting it in with older hardware to keep the costs down and get it in homes at low prices.

More like they know who is intended to hear the interview. MS and Sony know that dumbass system wars manchildren will know right away what any PR spokesperson says in interviews, so why not make them say "hell yeah" by insulting other consoles/companies for no good reason?iamaustrian said:Miyamoto is the nicest guy ever.

Yeah, after all the years Miyamoto and his crew faced ridicule and contempt from Sony and Microsoft for Wii Sports and Wii Fit both companies are trying to copy his steelo with "me too" type games with Natal Fit and Move Sports. Both companies and the nerdcores thought Miyamoto has lost his mind but he's still revolutionizing the industry. The man is a true genius.
I wish more developers thought outside the box.

I don't know, probably. We just know he's the reason the Wii was ever made.

Patented and demo'd. Not released...Until Wii was a proven success. Let's not kid ourselves. None of these companies invented motion control. They simply developed a form factor and packaged it successfully for the mainstream consumer. And Nintendo did it first.
You completely missed the point, but whatever.MrPliskin said:...really, Nintendo originated motion control? I think Konami and Namco would like to have a word with you, Nintendo, they've got quite a few things they've done over the last decade in arcades...

And nobody gives a shit about them. They originated obscurity.

The "prototype" was just a colored rod that the EyeToy could track. Everything else seemed pretty much lifted out of the Wiimote.
Monty Mole said:So, the Wiimote was all Miyamoto's idea?
You should read the OP
OP said:So we really see it as a great honour.
Thread title is a little misleading.

And once again GAF assumes that, because a thread was made about a quote, the person saying it must have called a press conference specifically to say so.
The interviewer couldn't have asked them the question, no.

That's more Eyetoy than Move, and apparently Iwata said they already tried doing camera-based motion control and rejected it.
We need to track down the Wiimote prototypes from Iwata Asks and find out their dates.

The only thing Nintendo can take credit for is being the first to rush out a console with a motion controller to take advantage of people wanting something new.
