Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto sat down with European game mag LEVEL and talked casual gaming. Nintendo's new M.O. has been let's make 'em for the masses. Here's a snippet:

Miyamoto: Everything is about choosing universal subjects; then a game can be appreciated by anyone. Take Nintendogs as an example. Everybody likes to pet dogs. Therefore anyone can appreciate that game. Can I ask you what you ate for dinner yesterday?

Q: I ate a steak.

Miyamoto: That phrase actually came from a Brain Training commercial. When we ask that question, people start to wonder. The question has nothing to do with games, so even though the people that are not gamers think this [it] must concern me! It's better to ask that question than how many weapons that will be in the next Zelda.

That dime store Freud is great and all, Shiggy. So really, how many weapons will be in the next Zelda? Brian Ashcraft
