More details of the Famitsu interview with Shigeru Miyamoto have been published online. At this point the famous game developer explains that it is rare to enjoy video games made by other people, but the hot Pokemon GO game has made a difference. Read Mr Miyamoto's translated thoughts below.
“Looking back at Pokémon GO, Miyamoto wonders why he is so happy with the people around him such as his family and the elderly people around his house. It's been a long time since he has enjoyed playing someone else's game. When enjoying certain things done by other people, one can learn the process of how customers can understand things, which in turn should influence the developer's way of transmitting the fun aspects of their games to customers. ”
“But Pokémon GO's success doesn't make Miyamoto jealous of it. In fact, he doesn't want to be held in high esteem because he wants to be treated like a normal person in his house and neighbor. He wants people to focus on the games he has made rather than on himself. But Miyamoto is very happy with his work because in his current years, he now thinks, "If I am not happy, then I will lose". Anyone would be upset if the game they were playing was brutally criticized by someone, but Miyamoto has made it fun by turning that criticism into a force for him to think about how to defeat those critics. ”
