Miyamoto on his favorite movie, games of 2015
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 12 Comments
What was Shigeru Miyamoto’s favorite movie of 2015? That honor goes to Star Was: The Force Awakens.
Speaking with Game Informer, Miyamoto shared some thoughts as to why he was impressed with the film:
“There were a lot of good movies last year. One movie that I would have to talk about is Star Wars. It was a movie that I was very worried about. I really enjoyed the original three movies. But as they started to rely more on CG and computer graphics, I gradually stopped watching the Star Wars movies.
I felt that for the people who were taking that on that it was a very big challenge for them. My expectation is that they’d maybe find a way to barely meet that challenge. But when I saw that movie, I was very impressed with what they were able to do.
As a creator, I really respected their ability to take on the challenge and bring back some of the feelings that people had the first time they watched the movies. I really liked that some of those actors from Episode IV came back after all these years, and you can see how they had aged. As a fan, it was a really great movie.”
Miyamoto also discussed his favorite games of last year: Splatoon and Super Mario Maker.
“I haven’t seen as many video games. Two of the games that I have been really happy with. One is Splatoon. We had a very young staff work on that game; particularly in the Japanese market, they’ve introduced a whole new genre of shooter.
And then Super Mario Maker, which Mr. [Takashi] Tezuka worked on, we’re seeing a lot of dads are playing together with their kids. That’s made me really happy.”
