...Kind of Nintendo related...

...xD Let me explain.

Recently, Shigeru Miyamoto had an interview with Wired, and they asked him a certain question.

Wired: "Nintendo is huge now. How do you maintain quality control?"

Shigeru Miyamoto: "I'm always instructing my game designers on the history of the characters and worlds we've created. Often we're in development and I'll say, "Oh, this looks like a Sega game. We need to make it look more like Mario."

Um...any thoughts? xD I found it hilarious in a way. You can look more on this interview here with some other questions. http://gonintendo.com/?p=47364

ooooo....looks liek the old war wounds will never heal :P.

nah seriously...i dont think its a poke at sega...its consistency. after all a mario platformer game that looked or played like sonic or ws set in a world like sonics wouldnt feel like a mario game (and the other way around of course).

Next month's NP issue:

WHAT, SONIC ISN'T IN BRAWL ANYMORE?

Wow, I hope SEGA reads that interview. As soon as I read the part about SEGA, I heard the "Whoopty!!" from Mortal Kombat in my head.

But in reality, it's not like this is a secret...SEGA has released abomination after terrible abomination since the end of the DreamCast. And it just seems to be getting worse.

I find it funny that Miyamoto can now use SEGA's titles as a template of what NOT to do with a video game. Ouch.

Not necessarily.

If the first 25 seconds of this didn't inspire the entire idea of Mario Galaxy, some one's lying(...only half kidding).

in a way, thats exactly what shigsy is talking about. that would have made for a terrible sonic game, constantly stopping and starting and very rarely being able to get up any big speed. it wouldnt have felt like a sonic game (thats probably why it got cancelled).
