I hope nothing will be lost in translation...

E3 2013: "I saw no games I would have liked to create myself"

This year's E3 is obviously under the sign of the new generation with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, each trying to steal the show with their respective exclusive title. What does Nintendo think about it?

We directly asked Shigeru Miyamoto. We know that the father of Mario and Zelda often has a habit of moving in the aisles to take a look at what is going on other than their own booths - we have seen him at Ubisoft last year, for instance, checking out Watch Dog. So what's his impression on E3 2013 and the catalogs of Sony and Microsoft?

"Of course, I would like to know what they do with their machines, but there is no game that I feel the need to go see. So far, from what I've seen on the show this year, there does not seem to be any games that I would like to have created myself."

You can find the full transcript of our exclusive interview with Shigeru Miyamoto next week at jeuxvideo.com.

Shigeru gives a thumbs down

GrotesqueBeauty · Jun 15, 2013

Well, what game should he have wished he made?

Halo.

Esch · Jun 15, 2013

not enough whimsy at this years E3.

Neff · Jun 15, 2013

90% of everything on show, despite plenty of new IPs, was recycled game design in shiny new graphics. So I'm not in the least bit surprised he's saying this.

EvilKatarn · Jun 15, 2013

He's just super jealous of Ryse.

Sylverstone14 · Jun 15, 2013

Heart Attack · Jun 15, 2013

Bummer, i thought maybe he liked Tearaway.

A sequel to the award winning Steel Diver

poor Knack.

TheLegendOfMart · Jun 15, 2013

No he just likes recreating the same game over and over and over and over and over.

Replace Miyamoto with Molyneux or Cage or Smart for interesting audience reactions!

All the press I've read for puppeteer a tearaway is just that.

Maybe he was talking just ps4/one

SlipperyFishes · Jun 15, 2013

Well it wouldn't be anything for the Xbone. It's not even confirmed to launch in his homeland.

Chuck Norris · Jun 15, 2013

Maybe he should make some new ones then.

Nintendo brand Sim City for that Wii U Gamepad!!!!

There's a difference between liking something and thinking "damn! I wish I'd made that!" Especially when you've got Super Mario Bros. and Zelda on your résumé.

Pie and Beans · Jun 15, 2013

Its been a long time since Miyamoto has "created" a game anyway. Dude is on the tip of retiring and doesnt have much relevance for Nintendo going forward. Shame he couldnt end on some amazing new IP note and drop the mic after it.

Same as Nintendo's showing then, minus new IPs?

What an ignorant statement. He might use the same wrapping paper but there's always at least some deviation or innovation in his work.

Back to buying COD/Madden and FIFA you swine.

Psycho_Mantis · Jun 15, 2013

Miyamoto's a harsh critic.

Good thing the titles hes involved in buck that trend.

He's saying that he wouldn't feel compelled to make those games, not that they have no value or that they suck.

You have a source for this? This goes counter to all currently existing information about the company, including interviews conducted over E3, so I'm interested to know where you got this idea.

Ban Puncher · Jun 15, 2013

Upended tea tables all over E3.

la_briola · Jun 15, 2013

First: it is translated. Second: he already told in other interviews that he liked games he saw.

I don't know whats the problem here.

chugen · Jun 15, 2013

could he even be capable of creating them.

Coolwhip · Jun 15, 2013

Yikes, better luck next year E3.

AzaK · Jun 15, 2013

Each to their own if course but maybe if he expanded his horizons he'd find he might want to make something different. Something that might have been like something he saw. Unless he only saw shooters.

Mihael Mello Keehl · Jun 15, 2013

I hope brera stops by

GhostTrick · Jun 15, 2013

It amazes me that Nintendo games now have a stigma of "recycling games over and over" as though they are the only ones that do it.

MrCookiepants · Jun 15, 2013

That's because you only like to make Mario and Zelda.

King_Moc · Jun 15, 2013

You're aware of who Miyamoto is, right?

Sort of like Nintendo's offerings no? I mean come on, I love Shigeru, but he didn't get thrilled by the features in upcoming games like the Division or Destiny?

What about a game like Project Spark? I'm sure he'll get a free pass because of his past acclaim, but I'm pretty sure other devs are saying, we saw nothing from Nintendo we'd want to make ourselves.

he totally didn't make pikmin

yes, that's why i said that.

Splint · Jun 15, 2013

maybe he would rather make a 3d land sequel on the wii u

Maybe he didn't get to see it.

Seriously most of the interesting stuff (from a game design standpoint) for me was hidden away from the spotlight. Everyone was lapping up the big blockbuster stuff. Obviously it's enough to put some MMO lipstick on a shooter to completely rid themselves of the foul stench of stagnating game design.

To be fair though, NIntendo themselves showed nothing that was breaking new game design ground. So it's weird seeing Miyamoto to call others out for making uninspired stuff.

This whole E3 was an exercise in boring sameness but with MMO features sprinkled in for good measure.

He didn't say that he disliked them, he just didn't see any that he was absolutely compelled to take part in.

And no, I daresay the Tom Clancy shooter didn't hold all that much appeal for Miyamoto.

Seriously, people need to read before they post that shit. He's not saying "lolol the games are garbage." He's saying it's not something he would have made himself. Yet everyone here is getting ridiculously defensive about it.

Please tell me you are a master of wit.

This can not be the reason he wasn't interested in the games at the show for the MOST INSANELY OBVIOUS REASONS.

Only Halo.

toastyToast · Jun 15, 2013

Is there anything he's admitted to wanting have made himself in the past?
