Miyamoto on what dominates his time and third-parties on Wii U, plus a story about being locked in a bathroom
Despite being a developer at heart, Shigeru Miyamoto doesn’t spent most of his time making games. He reads and writes a whole lot of emails and makes phone calls instead.
“Actually, most of my working time is occupied by reading email, making phone calls and returning comments by email… I’m always trying to remind myself that even though something can be done digitally, I need to have face-to-face contact with others.”
Going in a completely different direction, we have a few words from Miyamoto regarding third-party support. Here’s what he had to say about that topic:
“It’s a matter of how seriously they commit themselves. Our mission is to approach developers, and if they’re willing to commit to experiences only available on Nintendo hardware, we are more willing to help. Each developer has his or her own ideas and we really encourage the differences.”
And this post wouldn’t be complete without a bit of a strange story from Miyamoto’s trip to Spain.
Miyamoto ended up getting stuck in a bathroom following a door lock malfunction. He was about to meet two members of the royal family, so to guarantee his prompt arrival, the door was hacked down with a crowbar and he was escorted away by police.
