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.”

Yusuke Hashimoto, who is making Star Fox Zero, isn’t personally working on Star Fox Guard. However, he did confirm on Twitter that Platinum is indeed behind it.
I'm not working on it personally, but PlatinumGames is! RT @jakeoti: Are you personally working on Project GUARD as well?
