Shigeru Miyamoto clarifies his stance on stories in games

Over the years, Shigeru Miyamoto has been painted as a developer who isn’t interested in having stories be a central part of his games. Some have taken it a step further and believe that he’s openly against them.
Mario, the most well-known franchise Miyamoto created, has generally been about gameplay with the plot being almost non-existent. Even with a franchise like The Legend of Zelda, the story hasn’t exactly been front and center.
In an interview with IGN, Miyamoto was able to clarify his stance. He mentioned how it’s not about complex stories being unnecessary, but another aspect is “to focus on a gameplay experience that gets you to try things over and over again.”
