When Shigeru Miyamoto isn’t working on legendary Nintendo franchises like Mario and Zelda, he’s able to find some time to play the ultra-popular Rovio game, Angry Birds.

In a new interview, Miyamoto admitted that Angry Birds is one of the few titles he’s enjoyed on his smartphone. Miyamoto went as far as to say that he wish he’d created the idea.

He said:

“There aren’t many games that I’ve played recently that have been truly convincing to me. But that said, I have very much enjoyed Angry Birds, especially the way in which it combines traditional and new game elements in exciting ways. Angry Birds is a very simple idea but it’s one of those games that I immediately appreciated when I first started playing, before wishing that I had been the one to come up with the idea first.

“I mean, obviously I want to be the one creating the most convincing, surprising game ideas.”

Miyamoto went on to discuss the ways in which Angry Birds impressed him. He praised the controls, but noted how they “would have been even better” had “the developer had created the game for Nintendo DS”.

“In particular the control scheme is excellent. When you analyze it, the controls are actually quite fuzzy in terms of the way that it works. It takes a little while to get used to the controls, I think, but once you’ve mastered them, you have a lot of precision. To make it the interface and controls work that well and intuitively… well, I think a lot of work went into getting that right.

“Obviously, if the developer had created the game for Nintendo DS the controls would have been even better, but what can you do?”
