Legendary video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto reiterated Nintendo’s core goal when it comes to game development. Mr. Miyamoto said in a recently published interview that the main concept revolves around bringing family and friends together in the living room, which has long been the goal of the Kyoto-based company. A number of games have fulfilled this task, including Wii Sports, the Mario Kart series, the Mario Party series and Smash Bros, etc. These core values don’t seem to have changed, despite Mr. Miyamoto taking a more background role at Nintendo.
“For Nintendo, the idea of games is something that brings the family together in the living room and interacts with each other [act], as mentioned, like connective tissue. And when we talk about games, it really only happens in the living room.”
