"You'll have to wait a minute - he's just drawing at the moment", a Nintendo PR lady kindly informs ONM as they wait anxiously to interview one of videogaming's genuine superstars. Five minutes later, a Nintendo of Europe executive emerges with a signed sketch of a group of Pikmin, grinning broadly. Shigeru Miyamoto provokes that kind of giddy, childlike response even among seasoned professionals. It's not often you get the opportunity to sit down and enjoy a conversation with a true games industry legend, but ONM was lucky enough to be granted an exclusive audience with Shigeru Miyamoto himself.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
good lord, you get to interview miyamoto and you ask him questions about nsbm:wii and the possibility of a wii music sequel.
...
Wish he wouldn't bullshit us about the lag in Super Smash Bros.
Every time i see his face i wanna punch him hard.
They didn't ask one question about the new zelda!!!0_0 just about mario and a few crappy casual "games" 0.o...
