I am a Japanese, and I must say the guy who is doing the translation is absolutely brilliant. He improvised here and there, subtract/add words here and there to convey the message Miyamoto-san was trying send, instantly. He can do this not because he understands Japanese language, which in itself is full of pronouns, but he understands the content of speech about game design and whatnot. It is obscure role, but simple translation of words into different language never works. If anybody were inspired by what Miyamoto-san has said here, one should equally thank the translator.
I was in the room that day, on a student pass at that time, but I know I triple checked my pager for fucking Miyamoto. People needed to buy some drugs from me, they would just have to wait.
I started to get his philosophy when he said that he thought that Mario64 lost to tamagotchi. It's not about the graphics, it's about creating new experiences for the players (and he was thinking that M64 was more of the same); That's why he has not that many problems with hardware limitations; he's willing to discard visual quality to make the experience as he wants (such as limiting the number of elements in Hyrule Field). Enlightening indeed.
I think most people who know a little bit about game design have a different opinion there... Not to forget how Miyamoto neither designed Zelda (Takashi Tezuka did, and it was an improved Hydlide ripoff) nor came he up with Mario 64 (ask the Argonaut employees...).
Miyamoto and Tezuka both directed the original LoZ and there were some passes back and forth on different ideas. Laughable as it is, Hydlide was a competitor however, there's no doubt that Miyamoto applied his personal principals and creativity to the project, even with Tezuka handling the directing. As for Argonaut, what they developed was the Super FX chip (internal name Super Mario FX), which wasn't an actual game in development although it spurred Miyamoto to design a 3D Mario game. He opted to use the N64's hardware for that game but briefly considered using the Super FX. In other words, we could've gotten a 3D Mario game on SNES!
Argonaut also developed a 3D game featuring Yoshi that resembles Mario 64 very much, and pitched it to Nintendo, only to get turned down. Only to see basically a copy of it at Nintendo's booth at one of the next game conferences.
He also seems nervous whilst speaking in Japanese, taking many pauses saying "Ano" and "Eto" which both mean the same thing as "Um" or "Ah..." and he furthermore spends much time gazing at his notes rather than the crowd. From here he had much to learn when it comes to speaking to so many strangers.
We are lucky we lived the era of miyamoto, I think that not enough people appreciate the fact that we live in a time where we can see so much creativity and innovation in an artistic medium. So sad that it will end one day :(
I love how little Miyamoto gives a shit about high end technology or graphics. His entire philosophy from the beginning has always been "is this fun?". His genius comes in his simplicity and single minded focus on enjoyment. Throughout the years so many great looking games have come out that forget that they were/are video games. Miyamoto has never forgot that ultimately he is making a video game and that the player should be enjoying themselves and having fun. And this presentation was done in 1999. Things got a lot worse since then, and I'm glad that some of these big budget triple A games have failed and that some of these simple indie games have found success. The industry needs a kick in the ass every once in a while.
I can't help but wonder if part of his emphasis on fun comes from Nintendo's origins overall. Before video games, they spent many years making toys, in which fun is clearly and obviously the primary purpose of the product. Nintendo's executives would have had this fun-focused development model when they first began to look into making games, and this either was instilled into Miyamoto or attracted him to the company. Meanwhile, where companies don't have a history of making literal toys, they instead see fun as only one of the focuses of game design, and are willing to compromise fun for the sake of graphics or new tech.
I wouldn't necessarily say he "gives little shits about technology", Miyamoto himself states that he is always looking at or placing himself at the forefront of technology. He emphasizes how crucial it is for a game designer to be well versed in the technology their games are built on, rather than avoiding it, so that they can effectively materialize their game design visions into the actual game that is playable on the target hardware. With that said, he also points out that many game projects that are built on cutting edge technology result in a situation where the fun-ness of a game concept can only be evaluated much later in development, because one has to wait until said technologies are close to completion. But ultimately, yeah Miyamoto's main pursuit is of "fun", being able to define, conceptualize, and execute on "fun".
in 1999 this man had JUST BEGUN. I long for an in depth discussion/interview with him now. Candid and personal. I want to hear not just about his development career, but his opinions on gaming today, about his relationships with other developers and industry names... he has so much to share.
Very cool of Miyamoto to speak to the world of gaming, in such an open and useful way. I wonder why it hasn't happened anymore in the last 18 years. Game developers could learn more of his experience!
16:29 I remember that old DYKG video explaining that Miyamoto didn’t want to work with Shigesato Itoi on Mother because other Japanese celebrities were coming in with their own dumb game ideas (Takeshi’s Challenge is probably the most famous example). Glad Itoi was able to make his game series work out, but it’s interesting to see him allude to it here.
kurikuraconkuritas From what I read in the Wikipedia, Mr. Miyamoto knows some English but is not comfortable speaking in it. And for interviews, he prefers to speak in Japanese!
He doesn't need a translator to listen to English, but he prefers to speak Japanese to get his point across in the best way possible. If you watch closely, you'll see that Bill rarely translates English for Miyamoto.
@@TheGamingNobility Speaking a language is a completely different skill than listening to it, and also harder. When you speak a language you are forced to actively use it and put structure to your thoughts, whereas if you listen to it you can figure out the general meaning of each sentence.
He's so dedicated to making fun. He even was worried Nintendo 64 had lost to Tomagachi due to it's simplicity and fun. That seems like a silly anecdote, but that was pretty insightful to the main thesis of this talk: make your games fun. Start there, then the rest should be balanced from there.
They were really ahead of time with the stuff they were doing, I really wish one day someone is able to get a inside documentary on how they managed to dream up all of this before anyone else imagined possible.
Working on their own hardware, taking the time to polish existing ideas and finally having talented and loyal teams. And like most Japanese game companies, they were(are?) working like crazy (from stories told the man himself during his interview with Yuji Naka).
Miyamoto's English is actually pretty solid, even though he does seem to be struggling a tad bit to make sure he's pronouncing some of the words correctly. Using English with a native Japanese tongue can't be very easy.
@@AthenisOculi I legit teared up a little when he came out and started in English after that ovation. So humble and gracious. I'm also really drunk though...
I grew up with Nintendo during the Iwata era and I started with the Nintendo DS Lite. These days Nintendo is the only video game company I trust to make fun and good games. During the years I spent a lot of time looking at interviews with Miyamoto & co. but never have I seen him speak in English for so long. It's quite fascinating.
Amazing how his whole demeanor changes when he switches back to Japanese, for a few minutes he seemed almost nervous and unsure of himself, as soon as he switches to Japanese you can tell he's the goddamn boss of this stuff lol
And the fact that she doesn't pretend to be gamer who was "inspired be incredible courage of link and impressice mario jumps" etc. Not like other speaker and narrator in the beginning
I’m conflicted Looking up Miyamoto interviews, you realize just how much he really cares about originality. But almost all of my game ideas are iterative. They don’t come from nothing. They come from “ahhh I hate this game, but I’m so close to loving it. If only these 3 things were different..”
his game ideas have never come from thin air either though. theres always a clear inspiration behind them. like the origin zelda being based around childhood exploration and coming of age. then his later masterpieces were about how to turn those games into 3d experiences. some of the best advice for originality i think is to draw inspiration from many sources, and not just from games. if you can be inspired by books, movies, life experiences and other video games, you’ll have a more original ideas to draw on than just other games.
@@photophone5574 Also not just the art, the game mechanics themselves were already in arcade, he even mentions themselves that legend of zelda was inspired from other games at that times. He literally just did what you are saying, he just polished 3 things he wished were different and added some of his personal touch.
@@photophone5574 Based off of? Nintendo was about to make a Popeye game, but lost or didn't get the license, so they made Mario instead. Saying it's based off of is like saying Dark Souls is based off of Zelda or something. People will take inspiration, aware and unaware, of things they like or things around them, but that's a far cry from "based off of."
Yamazake Whitesky Yes. Until this moment, games designers did not exist in modern games. Until this talk, modern games were designed by luck and chance, by robots, without any logic or actual ideas behind them in any way.
Let's say it is a very good talk about the role of the modern game designer. But inventing it? no. Other companies from other countries also figured that out. There are tons of other game designers that fits this description pre-1999. Miyamoto just explained it very well in this talk. ;)
I'd say it was Yamauchi who invented the modern role of a game designer. He specifically wanted game designers front and center and given the accolades and recognition they deserved, instead of engineers taking all the credit
@@youtubesuresuckscock He's the creator of Donkey Kong, Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Starfox, and Pikmin. That's an absurd number of quality IP's to be the creator of. And both Super Mario Bros. and Mario 64 essentially established the formula for modern 2d and 3d gaming. It's not possible to overrate his contributions to the industry.
The beauty of limitations and how it forces excellent game design to happen. The more you clutter with virtual glue, trinkets korok seeds and light orbs, the more games lose their meaning and become something they weren't meant to be. Where there is clutter, even valuable things lose their value. Where there is too much, nothing stands out. The essence of Japanese aesthetic is a concept called 'MA' (pronounced "maah") - the pure, and indeed essential, void between all "things."
Prime Miyamoto. If he had this vitality today, he would probably be destroying developers at Nintendo for their creative decisions. I imagine Aonuma not seeing eye to with him now. Imagine if he dared to do that then. We are very likely Miyamoto Gatekeeped the format of Mario and Zelda. His force is what shaped those franchises. Nintendo owes him a lot. And Gunpei Yokoi is another giant in design who created the DMG-01 but not many will remember his name for it was at a time where game developers weren't the super stars they are today. Geniuses deserve all the recognition they get!
@@NuiYabuko you're the same person commenting on my other writings. go away the world doesn't need your one sided opinion. Miyamoto has never been involved as he used to be in the old IPs. last time he was truly involved was skyward sword. now go away.
"Gatekeeped the format" No he wouldn't. How can you come to this conclusion after watching this? Especially that part near the end (I think) where he is somewhat displeased with OOC not feeling as fresh and novel as some of the older games he worked on?
Look at how much character this man has. Look at how much anxiety people are suffering from in the world. You get the idea. I have no patience for how much of a safe-dystopian situation the world is in, starting with America. Some background: this is probably the most influential person in the history of the world, and he came form a place where people were not afraid to explore. His video games are a reflection of this willingness. He did adventurous things throughout his childhood and lived life to the fullest. So... Wake up and explore. The ironic thing is that we learn so much from his games. Children are not safe when we chain them down. No, then we become the enemies. It is ironic that we can become their enemies when we try to protect them. Is it the parents fault? No, it is the result of government teaching us that the world is dangerous. We cannot afford to blame people. However, The world is not dangerous if you believe that everything in it is truly for your good. Have a positive outlook. And explore out into the world...in a sense,...outside of your own mind. And teach everyone that this is the safest way of living possible. Thank you.
0:29 in... Cellphones, lasers, and "Payjurs"?.. must be 1999 -- only they said that in the, tittle of the video -- SO I GUESS THEY JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT GUESSING GAMES OR FUN!.. And they probably hate kittens too!
Because it is very uncomfortable to speak a language that you don't speak that often, even if you technically understand that language. I am from Sweden, and I consider myself proficient in English, and I can definitely understand written and spoken English without any particular problems, but I still end up stuttering and hesitating a lot whenever I have to speak English in real life.

Also, the fact that he's always looking at the user experience, makes him the greatest game designer of all time (IMO. you can have a diferent one)
In game design, user is the centerpiece, period. Pütting the user experience in the middle IS game design.

It's already ending with AI coming and sadly Nintendo appreciates it fully
Why do they always forget to ask about turning off pagers nowadays.

But almost all of my game ideas are iterative. They don’t come from nothing. They come from “ahhh I hate this game, but I’m so close to loving it. If only these 3 things were different..”
To be fair, Miyamoto got a lot of his ideas from other things. Mario and Donkey Kong were based off of Popeye and King Kong.
his game ideas have never come from thin air either though.
theres always a clear inspiration behind them. like the origin zelda being based around childhood exploration and coming of age.
then his later masterpieces were about how to turn those games into 3d experiences.

"No lazer pointers". Ah, the days of m youth.
Even in 1999, they asked to turn off phones (and pagers). It's become a ritual by now.

14:40 I was expecting a laugh but it looks like the joke went over the audience's heads
update : he had to clarify lol
I always thought he was part of Metroid too, but apparently not. Guess that might be why the series wasn't a focus for so long.
He helped with Metroid Prime. The visor system was his idea.

Turn off your _pagers_

0:29 in... Cellphones, lasers, and "Payjurs"?.. must be 1999 -- only they said that in the, tittle of the video -- SO I GUESS THEY JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT GUESSING GAMES OR FUN!.. And they probably hate kittens too!
My bad, lasers came a bit later
He could clearly speak English, why bother with a translator
Because it is very uncomfortable to speak a language that you don't speak that often, even if you technically understand that language.
I am from Sweden, and I consider myself proficient in English, and I can definitely understand written and spoken English without any particular problems, but I still end up stuttering and hesitating a lot whenever I have to speak English in real life.
wolf in sheep's clothing syndrome
What?
Strange, doesn't look as insightful as I thought it'd be... maybe because of the double language, that's distracting...
