Say what you want about Nintendo. Call them out of touch. Say they're for kids. But being a young developer and having Miyamoto as one of your tutor's is a great honor.
As someone who has a boss who is able to do this, I gotta say, it makes the work environment a far more comforting and enjoyable place to be. Hopefully you'll get that some day, my dude.
Can I just say these interview videos you've had with them have been great. You guys chose some really good topics that I feel we don't hear enough about from Nintendo themselves. Huge props.
It still surprises me people don't think the older designers like Miyamoto don't know what they're doing anymore. Watch the video. They know precisely what they're doing.
It's sad to see how Miyamoto has become a scapegoat for fans to blame for every tiny misdirection over the years, even stuff he's not involved with at all.
This video actually inspired me as a young game creator to go with the flow and do what I want!Before I watched this I was really stressed and this helped me a lot.
I am really happy that Mr.Aonuma is getting more and more attention after all his hard work on the Zelda series :) That sir right there is an inspiration!
"Go with the flow...if it doesn't work out, we can always apologize later" Speaks volumes of about courage Nintendo has to experiment. Never give up experimenting Nintendo. You and Sony are the beacons of hope in the sea of shit called AAA games development.
This one guy is so ridiculously instrumental to Nintendo' success, it's astonishing he never left and went into business for himself, Miyamoto effectively IS Nintendo, he is the main factor distinguishing Nintendo from other game developers and i'm really impressed at the sheer loyalty he's displayed staying with Nintendo when surely bigger companies would pay him absolute fortunes to leave.
dont trust these guys they pretty much just copy everyone else is doing no one has the genius of the current and past nintendo people i seriously fear for what zelda will be like in 20 years
It's a bit different When Miyamoto first started, there was no such thing as the concept of video games. It was all still new and very abstract. So Miyamoto and other classic game designers got to define what a video game is through their own work. Young designers making their way now have "rules" and conventions to keep in mind, not to mention the daunting legacies of their mentors to live up to. Video games during the time of Miyamoto were a creative visionary industry. Now it's ultra competitive, motivated by profit and trends, directed by executives instead of artists. But the most important advice from Miyamoto here is also the most simple: just be yourself. Younger designers trying to be like Miyamoto is no good, Miyamoto never tried to be like anyone else, he just always followed his own vision and instincts. I think younger generations have a hard time being themselves and letting go of a lot of things that can hold you back
Probably Mr.Aonuman I have nothing but respect to Mr.Koizumi but Mr.Aonuma has bren with Mr.Miyamoto WAAAAAAY longer and they are basically BFs now (not even kidding.. There are articles about how much they hang out at the company lol)
Ton Ton the wii sold more than the Xbox 360 and Ps3, was one of the most famous consoles ever, even being weak, the only shit nintendo did was the Nintendo Wii U, and the Switch is going very well so, i don't see where Nintendo is dying
Aonuma badly needs Miyamoto to not lose compass. His comments on classic Zelda are infuriating. I don't even consider myself a gamer in the "following a trend" sense. But my life was shaped by Zelda and each iteration from Ocarina of Time to even Breath of the Wild challenged my understanding of what Zelda is or can be. The deeply infuriating part is how Aonuma considers the old Zelda, linear and boring. And he might feel bored by making such a game. But that format and the memories it brought to the table was something special. Back then you had a much more cinematic Zelda with custcenes and an evolving story. Linearity on the side the content felt alive. Breath of the Wild might be a good gameplay mechanic and a nice world design, but it feels empty at its source. I don't know if money got to Aonuma's head but the hardcore Zelda fans that played the game in the 80s and 90s are really the ones he is betraying with his comment. The classic Zelda formula ultimately is something Miyamoto has most merits for. Miyamoto was the baseline Aonuma needed to avoid becoming too focused on innovation. Zelda is also about story and a bad story with good gameplay is not what Zelda is about. The day Wind Waker released, when I saw the tapestry with the medieval aesthetic, I knew something good was on. The day I saw trailers for Twilight Princess I knew something good was on. When I saw Link face Demise, I felt goosebumps. I hated the visuals in that game more than Wind Waker but I love that kind of Zelda nontetheless. Breath of the WIld and Tears of the Kingdom also have their approach to building Zelda and beauty. But the franchise has pushed way too much into open world. The dungeons feel rushed, the world isn't compact no matter how much you explore it, after a point you get bored. Science teaches us, there is beauty in the small and minimal. Sometimes less is more. And Zelda needs their less is more moment for Zelda.
Nintendo's younger designers are clearly not cutting it, and not up to par with how the older designers work. Switch is full of unfinished games that only rely on a dumb gimmick, and have none of the soul they used to.
XD XD XD XD Points for such an original and fresh joke there m8! I too remember playing Splatoon back in the NES days. These Nintendo people really need to create some new IP's!
I mean, BotW is likely the most anticipated game of the past decade and is getting nothing but very positive feedback, some reviewers calling it one of the best games of all time, something we'll look back on 20+ years from now. "out of touch" is a far stretch.
Says the man who has been out of touch with gaming for years. The Wii u was garbage and it had only 1 new IP. Yet people wonder why Nintendo has been irrelevant.
Say what you want about Nintendo. Call them out of touch. Say they're for kids. But being a young developer and having Miyamoto as one of your tutor's is a great honor.
THEMIGHTYDOOVDE When people say out of touch, they want to spend hundreds of dollars on rushed consoles that yearn to be low end PCs.
THEMIGHTYDOOVDE its a once in a lifetime opportunity.
AbdallahSmash026#1Fan no u
millieman76 like?
They are training them how to copy and clone other peoples ideas.
these two are responsible for my childhood being incredible
I've been home schooled all year, and I don't know what I'd do without the feeling of awarding myself for my work with a good Mario game.
"We can always apologize to them later"
I'd love to see my boss apologize to me sincerely for once
As someone who has a boss who is able to do this, I gotta say, it makes the work environment a far more comforting and enjoyable place to be. Hopefully you'll get that some day, my dude.
@@weeblewobble hey thanks for the the kinds words :) its been 3 years and I left that place for good and never been happier!
Can I just say these interview videos you've had with them have been great. You guys chose some really good topics that I feel we don't hear enough about from Nintendo themselves. Huge props.
I love these two. Hope they can continue giving us new experiences for some time.
It still surprises me people don't think the older designers like Miyamoto don't know what they're doing anymore. Watch the video. They know precisely what they're doing.
It's sad to see how Miyamoto has become a scapegoat for fans to blame for every tiny misdirection over the years, even stuff he's not involved with at all.
Game Informer, you did an amazing job interviewing these two amazing individuals. Thank you.
Aonuma and Miyamoto are the most important developers.
They are epic masters of playable reality in games.
yup important cloners
They may devolop games that are great, but those games devoloped me.
*develop
The Creators Of The Best Game In The World By Far...., The Legend Of Zelda!
I love that when old asian guys talk about games it suddenly sounds so much more sophisticated, like an asian philosophy.
They've had a lot of time to think about this stuff.
Jim Knopf it's true. Americans etc just view it as a business. guys like this see it as a form of art and take pride in it.
Tell that to Sega's Arcade sector of Developers. Arcade Game devs only seem to care about Japanese venues, especially ARC System Works.
More specifically Miyamoto is an artist or philosopher. He pretty much single handily made video games into what we know them as to this day.
Nintendo will never be the same once Miyamoto and Aonuma are gone
Koizumi too
@@gopaldey8487 And Tezuka
At already is getting sh*ttier with the passing of Mr.Iwata and Reggie stepping down from being NOA's CEO..
@@neypaz8054 and Sakurai (I know he doesn't work at Nintedo but he is one of the main guys too with the Smash IP)
They are just waiting to clone another Fumito Ueda game. Hurry up Ueda-san
The best knowledge comes from the wisest of people who are usually wiser the older they become. It's nice listening to their thoughts and opinions.
These interviews are amazing guys, some of the best things you've all put out.
That moment when you realize Reggie is older than aonuma...
Is he?
Keith Fernandes Yup, by two years.
WHAT???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
His body is ready
Man. I really want these gents as my mentors.
jeez christ I love Aonuma
he feels like that grandpa that teaches you to fish and play blackjack and stuff like that
These interviews have been amazing! Glad you cut the translators and just subbed Miyamoto and Aonuma.
This video actually inspired me as a young game creator to go with the flow and do what I want!Before I watched this I was really stressed and this helped me a lot.
Glad it helped!
Hope things are going well :)
I am really happy that Mr.Aonuma is getting more and more attention after all his hard work on the Zelda series :)
That sir right there is an inspiration!
"Go with the flow...if it doesn't work out, we can always apologize later"
Speaks volumes of about courage Nintendo has to experiment. Never give up experimenting Nintendo. You and Sony are the beacons of hope in the sea of shit called AAA games development.
I like how Aounma said "Yeah, that's right" the same way Ben Hanson does all the time
the guy who conducted the interview for this did an excellent job
I have so much respect for Miyamoto and Aonuma. Both are awesome!
These men are my heros... I would give anything to work on zelda games with them😍😍😍
I love & respect these guys!
Younger generation like to follow trends. Older team members keep them in check. Sounds like a good plan. The backbone of a game is: gameplay.
This one guy is so ridiculously instrumental to Nintendo' success, it's astonishing he never left and went into business for himself, Miyamoto effectively IS Nintendo, he is the main factor distinguishing Nintendo from other game developers and i'm really impressed at the sheer loyalty he's displayed staying with Nintendo when surely bigger companies would pay him absolute fortunes to leave.
tbh we still haven't seen the next miyamoto
dont trust these guys they pretty much just copy everyone else is doing no one has the genius of the current and past nintendo people i seriously fear for what zelda will be like in 20 years
TheArsenalMan125 the new crew is good, but they just haven't touched the greatness that Miyamoto did in his career
It's a bit different
When Miyamoto first started, there was no such thing as the concept of video games. It was all still new and very abstract. So Miyamoto and other classic game designers got to define what a video game is through their own work.

Younger designers trying to be like Miyamoto is no good, Miyamoto never tried to be like anyone else, he just always followed his own vision and instincts. I think younger generations have a hard time being themselves and letting go of a lot of things that can hold you back
Koizumi is basically groomed as the next Miyamoto in terms of company position.
Obviously, you can't really say "next X" though
we're not going to see the next miyamoto just like we're not going to see the next Walt Disney.
So much respect for these guys for making what they do. Awesome video, love watching these!!
it's good that nintendo does not follow trends.
God bless Nintendo - we are living in a golden age of superb games from them right now
Who'll be the next Miyamoto, either my boy Koizumi or Aonuma
Probably Mr.Aonuman
I have nothing but respect to Mr.Koizumi but Mr.Aonuma has bren with Mr.Miyamoto WAAAAAAY longer and they are basically BFs now (not even kidding.. There are articles about how much they hang out at the company lol)
I hope someone good... when he descends to the Cloud Kingdom, I fear for Super Mario [and other games, but Mario is my favorite]
they are so wise.. feel like a grandson
also the drip is on point
Having these guys as video game mentors, would be like having Mozart and Beethoven as mentors for music.
It does sound like whatever skeleton they're using of core gameplay ideas seems to work wonders though.
So. Cool.
Father of early gaming
I want those Switch pillows
It would be nice if they gave Paper Mario the flexibility of being allowed to have original characters again.
tldr; let the backend to us oldies, you young do your pretty things on the frontend
I feel Game Informer has respect for game developers. Unlike IGN that pleased to introduce Zelda's illegal mod.
Zelda's illegal mod?
すごいなぁ、やっぱり。神だわ。
Really dislike how the subtitles go to the top when showing who's talking
xBoolin complaining is not hard? what is not hard?
뿡뿡! ^__^ It's not hard to follow the captions in his opinion
soul silver s
I think both of them know English well enough to understand the questions by seeing their fast reactions.
Nope
There are screens that translate for them
@@bareq99 aha thanks for letting me know!
@@jey6779 NP
Just a correction tho
There was an actual translator with them in this video
Usually there are screens that translate for them
My bad
Is someone eating chips in the background or is it just me?
Great!
It's good to know he's teaching them so when he passes my kids can play Mario and it wont be trashed like Spongebob after Hillensburg died.
Lol, the last question was a bit weird so he just had to say "yes" xD
aonuma que homão da porraaaaaa
no.1 deveropment
can they make another model of Nintendo in affordable price
❤❤
They have to play Dark Souls
Very traditionalist , old... make the game, young make it look pretty lol
that is why nintendo is dying
nintendo will out live us both
Ton Ton Nintendo is far from dying, where did you get your sources?
They had one bad console since Virtual Boy, they're obviously dying /s
Ton Ton the wii sold more than the Xbox 360 and Ps3, was one of the most famous consoles ever, even being weak, the only shit nintendo did was the Nintendo Wii U, and the Switch is going very well so, i don't see where Nintendo is dying
*Me watching the thumbnail* Oh it's nice see a female programmer
The subtitles are hard to follow
Learn how to read properly scrub

they built cool ! beat that next gen haha
I have to remind myself that Miyamoto is 67 because my 22-year-old brain doesn't have a quarter of his creativity lol.
Switch Pro will be crazy new
If ToTK is what they have to show for the next generation of devs, theres nothing to look forward to
hahah gotta love the Japanese
English subtitles are so bad
Nintendo is still the leader. hahaha
Would you rather..
Never play splatoon 2
OR
Never play zelda games
Insufficient subtitles
Don't know why he stays with Nintendo
gwald because he doesn't want to make a sci Fi grim dark shooter the rest of his life?
Ask on fortnite
can you please stop moving the damn sub titles?
They need a better way of teaching the new generation because Nintendo game design isn't even a shell of what it used to be
3:00 holy fucking downgrade, portendo version of botw looks like crap compared to that
This was an early prototype back in 2014
Nintendo's younger designers are clearly not cutting it, and not up to par with how the older designers work. Switch is full of unfinished games that only rely on a dumb gimmick, and have none of the soul they used to.
"make the same game forever"
XD XD XD XD Points for such an original and fresh joke there m8! I too remember playing Splatoon back in the NES days. These Nintendo people really need to create some new IP's!
Josh Leitzel I mean, c'mon Shigeru Miyamoto.... ANOTHER Arms? Get a grip, Nintendo.
Poet Samuel Another Kid Icarus? They are so running out of ideas. We get a Kid Icarus game every 25 years. Give us more variety!!!
FIRST
With all these interviews it still surprises me that these guys can't speak English.
Max McGaffin miyamoto can speak english
I think he PREFERS to speak Japanese, I'm sure he understood what Ben was saying perfectly.
They do
They just don't want to because they didn't grow up with English
Unlike Mr.Iwata for example
Out of touch.
With what?
Josh Leitzel With everything,but more importantly with what gamers want.
When gamers pretend to know what they want...
I mean, BotW is likely the most anticipated game of the past decade and is getting nothing but very positive feedback, some reviewers calling it one of the best games of all time, something we'll look back on 20+ years from now.
"out of touch" is a far stretch.
WCPMachines Agreed, these are just sad people who only want tons of blood and gore and cussing in their video games.
People love to pretend this hack is the Asian Jesus
I'm taking your gamer card.
Says the man who has been out of touch with gaming for years. The Wii u was garbage and it had only 1 new IP. Yet people wonder why Nintendo has been irrelevant.
Chris Sukam 3DS sold 60 million , thats more than ps4 how is nintendo irrelevant
Chris Sukam Lel! No.
the switch will out sell the ps shit soon
Switch has been selling well
Theres no such thing as "younger generation" in nintendo, just fossils with close minded heads.
