Mario fans have been interested in seeing what’s ahead for the series’ next core entry, but creator Shigeru Miyamoto isn’t willing to divulge what’s in store just yet.
Speaking with IGN, Miyamoto mentioned: “We’re always working on Mario, so when we get to a time where we can share information, we’ll certainly do so.”
Shigeru Miyamoto clarifies his stance on stories in games
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
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.”
