The following article is a three-way discussion between Shigesato Itoi, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Satoru Iwata concerning the circumstances of the Earthbound 64 cancellation. The discussion goes on for quite a long time as they pore over every detail they could possibly think of to explain exactly what happened when they pulled the plug on the ill-fated Nintendo 64 game they’d been working on for a total of six years.
Shigeru Miyamoto recalls a story from Pokémon creator Satoshi Tajiri, explaining how a lighthearted remark led to the creation of Pokémon Red and Green.
TNS - "Games eventually stop running when newer versions come out," said Shigeru Miyamoto on why Nintendo is pivoting to movies.
Miyamoto is one of the grandfather's of the industry, he knows that Nintendo is on borrowed time making video games as the tastes change and in 20 years time everybody will be streaming games on Game Pass.
Nintendo is showing great foresight moving into focusing on family friendly movies, a Kirby movie could help Nintendo become bigger than Disney. I speak for everyone on N4G when I say that Nintendo, rather than waste time churning out more milquetoast, it should sell the rights to making games with its IP to Microsoft Game Studios. Can you imagine the quality of games and the output frequency if Microsoft was making games with Nintendo IP? You could have a new Zelda and Mario and Pokemon EVERY year. Just think, a new Zelda game made with one of the best RPG game engines in the world, the Creation Engine by Bethesda. You could even have franchise crossovers like Master Chief appearing in Mario and shooting everything, so you don't have to solve stupid puzzles. The possibilities are endless. 🤞🏼

I speak for everyone on N4G when I say that Nintendo, rather than just taking a long time churning out hits, it should create an alliance to making games with its IP with Sony Studios. Can you imagine the quality of games and the output frequency if Sony was helping to make games with Nintendo IP? You could have a new Zelda and Mario and Pokemon EVERY 3 years. Just think, a new Zelda game made with one of the best game engines in the world, the Decima Engine by Guerrilla Games. You could even have franchise crossovers like Astrobot or Ratchet appearing in Mario and shooting everything, so you don't have to solve stupid puzzles. The possibilities are endless. 🤞🏼
Your post was so ridiculous that I had to respond. Why would Nintendo want to lose all that money and profits selling their IP to a losing brand and an unprofitable service like game pass. Nintendo is not stupid. The company that has lost 4 generations to Nintendo or Sony isn't even worth working with when the Microsoft brand is dying.
As for Miyamoto, games don't stop working. Maybe the translation is bad. But if it's true, it's a dumb comment from an industry leader.
@ApocalypseShadow - Thank you for sharing your feedback. What are your thoughts about, going forward, Microsoft should now make all Nintendo games and annualise them, and the part about Halo's Master Chief should appear in Super Mario games to allow you to avoid puzzles by shooting everything instead?
They'll definitely stop running if y'all keep going after emulators and rom sites smh. Also movies get lost to history too. You got fans and pirating to thank for any effort being put into preserving movies. If not for them we'd be stuck with watching heavily re-edited versions of classics. It's so weirdly backwards to say that too when games have overtaking movies for years now smh
SMB movie made almost a billion and a half on a 100 mil budget , I'm sure Zelda if done right will make even more as it has a wider appeal . Easy money if they put a N branded quality movie every few years . Hopefully we'll eventually get a Metroid movie.
"Games eventually stop running when newer versions come out,"
Only if you make live service slop or online only single player games.
My classic Nintendo cartridge systems still run fine...
Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!
Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.
Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.
I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
