I intervjuer med Edge och Hookshot låter Shigeru Miyamoto avslöja att han inte är så förtjust i smartphone-spel. Undantaget... Angry Brids. Där säger han istället att han önskar att han kommit på idén först.
"I have very much enjoyed Angry Birds, especially the way in which it combines traditional and new game elements in exciting ways. Angry Birds is a very simple idea but it's one of those games that I immediately appreciated when I first started playing, before wishing that I had been the one to come up with the idea first.", säger Miyamoto
"What I like about {Angry Birds} is that it has a traditional videogame [feel] to it, but also a very creative side. And you can really feel that they're having fun developing the game. That's what I like about it.", fortsätter han.
Miyamoto passar även på att ge en känga till Apple genom att deklarera hur Angry Birds kunde ha blivit ännu bättre: ""Obviously, if the developer had created the game for Nintendo DS the controls would have been even better, but what can you do?"
