Miyamoto hasn’t lost his passion for traditional titles
“Before the launch of the Wii hardware, we at Nintendo had already come up with the idea that the Wii is the machine that’s going to be hooked up with the television set in the living room of the household. And so then the family members become the basis for us to think about how we’d like to develop the hardware and software for Wii. And that is why I’ve made software like Wii Music, Wii Sports, Wii Fit and other assorted titles. Having said that, I’ve never lost my passion for making games which are enjoyed by the more traditional gamer. An example is the introduction of Super Mario Galaxy 2.” – Shigeru Miyamoto
I definitely agree with Miyamoto that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a great example of what he mentioned. Not only is the game very challenging for core gamers, but it also has the ability to assist newcomers to 3D Mario. Even though Miyamoto will continue to work on casual titles in the future, you can also expect that he’ll create a bunch of experiences for the hardcore demographic.
