Given Shigeru Miyamoto’s enormous influence on the video game industry, it’s a wonder that no special games have been made starring or featured by the legendary creator.
And because we’re being nice, we just want to make sure you don’t do a double-take when checking out an upcoming title on the Switch eShop. Simply named Miyamoto, this iOS port has nothing to do with the creator of Super Mario, but is described as a ‘Japanese-themed card game’ (thanks, Nintendo).
Launched in the eShop at November 7, 2024 and it was developed and published by Hideki Hanida. Playing from the iOS version features an experience where you use cards from your deck on the board to outsmart and defeat your opponent.
It looks kind of neat and we like the aesthetics of this one, although we’re not expecting a particularly meaty experience given its £3.39 price tag. However, we are pleased with the surprise!
“MIYAMOTO is a beautifully stylized Japanese-themed card game. Build your deck with cards earned after each battle and strategically place unique pieces to claim victory.”
