Miyamoto: 2009 Nintendo Games Not "Fun Enough"

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3178494

Not just 2009 for me but going back to N64 is when it started.

64 did had some hits though but they didnt last. I wonder did cartridges ruined it for n64

Gamecube was weak while the wii is not for mii

he's right Nintendo games have not been fun enough

actually the posters at 1up are saying he was refering to the indusrty as a wholePSP107

oh then he is wrong....this gen has been a blast for me with the 360/PS3/PC

"I think it is obvious that when everyone is connected online, there will be enormous opportunity for me to create something really unique," Miyamoto said. "But my job is to try to entertain as many people as possible, and I see all Wii owners as the audience. Of course, we have Mario Kart, which can be played online by multiple people. So we are gradually expanding the experiences using the Internet, but my own personal focus is to try to entertain people, even if they are not connected to the Internet. That is my first priority."

I wish every dev was like this... maybe we wouldn't have games with 4 hours campaigns and what not.

This is what I've been saying, Nintendo has got to take care of the Wii audience.

Agreed that the first goal should be to try to entertain people. Entertainment can be fun, exciting, scary, whatever, but if the game isn't entertaining it does fall fall flat.

As for games not being fun enough, I disagree. I am having a lot of fun with many different games and genres right now. Personally, I think if he feels that games aren't fun he shouldn't focus on Wii Music. :P Okay, I'm bashing it without playing it but I stand by my statement.

Miyamoto did a bang up job with Wii Music. Err...maybe this guy does not know what he is talking about anymore.

I disagree, i just recently got Bayonetta and i had a ton of fun with it.

Videodogg

he is right though, with no big nintendo games to push the bar (sales) and a lack of big, quality releases last year (in mean in general cows) there has been a slump.

Whoops, sorry, nvm, he was talking about the industry as a whole. Nothing to see here, then.

Yeah, but like you said, we had to go through a drought of "a couple of years" to get the love this year. I have all three of those games and more, but Nintendo's resources aren't aimed at the core like they are the masses. I get it, and I'm thankful for this year when it's over. However, I'm in March 2010, and 1st party wise, reality is what it is.:P

I swear every time I read one of these articles from someone @ Nintendo it's like reading through your typical SW sheep arguments.

Correlating sales with fun, biased opinions about online gaming and their elevated and skewed view of uniqueness. It's like a copypasta.

It's the same thing with all PR (other than Miyamoto not really being PR). Sony still is the king in causing fights over words.Willy105

There's always the option of not buying the trash with 4 hour campaigns.

I know but it's hard to tell the length of a game as most sources exaggerate it to either extreme.

"exactly isnt this the guy who said he could have made halo? that made me laugh so hard " Considering he has created far better games, and multiple games far better at that, what he said is true, he could have created halo, and it would have been better no doubt.IgorAntunov

2009 had some okay titles, but the only "Fun" one was Wii Sports Resort.

The first time I played sword play, I couldn't believe it. It is easily one of the most fun games I've ever played.
