Miyamoto Could Have Made Halo

[kcajblue]

I think this is taken WAY out of context. I believe what Supreme Master Miyamoto is implying is that he doesnt want to make some generic game that has been done a thousand times. He wants originality.

Halo, while very cool, is not exactly a new concept where as most the games Miyamoto and the rest of genius designers of Nintendo try to do something new all the time... and generally it works too!

Love or hate nintendo there is NO denying that video games wouldnt be what they are today with out the man. I dont like how this article twists his words.

exactly.
sorry to sound like a broken record but.
he wants to have originality to his games. he wants them to be unique.
he doesnt want them to be like any other game you can get.

Don't tell me he's turning into Krazy Ken..... =[

This guy is full of himself isn't he!

That's exactly what I thought as soon as I read that. I have always admired Miyamoto dearly but he seems awfully arrogant if that article was written in proper context.

Now, if he was approached by Microsoft with an offer to design HALO and turned it down, that would be one thing. That would boost anyones ego.

But if he is just using HALO as an example because it is such a great and popular game, he is sure full of himself.

I guess all the money pouring in lately for Nintendo will do that to you though.

Basically, it sounds like every game that is good that wasn't designed by Miyamoto, he could have designed if he wanted right? I just have a fishy feeling the article was taken out of context.

It is true almost anything can be done with enough money and the right talent but this was the wrong impression to give off to people.

Ummm... here's probably a question that you didn't think of before having an oppinion:
Does Miyamoto speak english? If not, then there could have been something lost in translation. As far as I know, I've only heard him speak in Japanese.

unfortunately when you make a game ten times and put 'nintendo' on the box it will be 'original'

as for twilight princess not having great sales...maybe people are realising just how bad it really is.

I'm no fanboy of nintendo but I do know that Miyamoto is one of the greatest game designers of all time. It's just a fact. Let's not be dumb here and pretend he isn't.I've been playing video games since Pong so I've seen his progression since Donkey Kong.
Plus, if you watch an interview with him, it's clear that he has remained a real person despite being very wealthy and famous and I don't speak Japanese.
If the interview was in the 90's he would have said something like "I could have created another Doom clone.." so on and so forth. So lets stop being stupid here. Someone should just delete this thread.

agreed, i dont see the awesomeness in halo games, if you compare them to zelda ones, imo.
