Den legendariske producenten Shigeru Miyamoto (Super Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Pikmin) har i en nygjord intervju med Los Angeles Times klargjort hur han ser på dagens spelklimat samt på Nintendos roll i en ständigt växande del av underhållningsindustrin. Tydligen anser herr Miyamoto bland annat att Nintendos egna spelptoduktioner inte går att dela in i existerande genres såsom action, racing samt äventyrsspel.
"Nintendo isn't one simple element of an overall gaming industry. I really think there needs to be a Nintendo genre, that's almost its own entity.
It's not that I don't like serious stories or that I couldn't make one, but currently in the video game industry you see a lot of game designers who are working really hard to make their games seem really cool. For a lot of us at Nintendo, it's difficult to decide what cool is. In fact, it's a lot easier for us to laugh at ourselves. It's almost as if we're performers. Our way of performing is by creating these fun, odd and goofy things."
Nog för att vi dyrkar Shigeru Miyamoto och anser att Wii U-spel som Super Mario 3D World samt Mario Kart 8 glänser likt välpolerade juveler - Men att de inte skulle gå sortera in under "plattform"- respektive "racingspel" håller vi på Gamereactor absolut inte med om.
