Miyamoto Happy To Report Minimal Wii Fit "Incidents"
In a recent interview with MTV, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto was asked whether or not he'd been worried about the public falling from Balance Boards (leading to what would inevitably be more cracked televisions, this time ala head). And according to Miyamotos response, those Balance Boards are every bit as safe as we'd expect a 1/2-inch platform to be.I am happy to say that with so many out there, we have had relatively few incidents.
Relatively few incidents? That's just open ended enough to fill my head with hilarious Balance Board injuries for the remainder of the day. Cue the Yakety Sax. More » -

Wii Fit: Not Actually Intended To Make You Fit
Many of us already suspected that Wii Fit couldn't make us fit, but now you can add Nintendo as a name on that list of skeptics. Because during a recent interview on Nintendo's own site, Miyamoto spilled the beans that, no, Wii Fit is not a recommended replacement to your triathlon training...or even a walk around the block:I don't think Wii Fit's purpose is to make you fit; what it's actually aiming to do is make you aware of your body.
He continues: More »

Miyamoto Gives Increasingly Cryptic Feedback
So what's it like to work with Nintendo's tiny titan Shigeru Miyamoto? Super Mario Galaxy director Yoshiaki Koizumi talked about the experience at length with GameLife's Chris Kohler. You should read the entire interview, really, because Nintendoites usually keep pretty tight lipped about the design process. But here's a spot I found interesting from within the interview in which Koizumi talks about Miyamoto's feedback.Mario has a creator, Miyamoto, and you have to consider Mr. Miyamoto's thoughts when you're making a Mario game. But we share thoughts back and forth first for quite a long time. And once I start to outline some really broad strokes about where we're going with the game, then I can get a little more feedback from Miyamoto. Then, getting a version together, I have to go to Miyamoto as soon as possible as we can get more feedback.
The process continues... More »

Miyamoto, Top Male of 2007 According To Men
In case you didn't believe that Miyamoto was a top man, readers of AskMen.com have validated the rumor. According to a major reader poll, Miyamoto ranks number 19 out of a total of 49 top men. Apparently his work on the innovative new wireless Wavebird controller tipped the scales in his direction. More » -

More Sonic-in-Super-Smash-Bros. Proof?
Last week, Gamestop pics surfaced, showing Sonic on a Super Smash Bros. Brawl mock-up cover. This week? Kotakuite Cody sends up an ad from a Canadian Best Buy that shows Sonic standing between Wario, Samus, Kirby and Link. Is this a marketing foul-up? Is Nintendo sitting on a big announcement and totally forgot to check their fliers? Got me! Though, with Sonic and Mario now making games together, I wouldn't rule this out just yet — especially with Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto and Smash Bros. Masahiro Sakurai saying that Sonic was the character fans want most. More »

Miyamoto Not Digging Haze's Drugs
Haze is one of the titles that really benefited from their E3 showing, getting a lot of positive buzz at the show. But Miyamoto wasn't digging it, as pointed out in this month's Edge magazine:"Cliffy B dropped by to see Haze...He liked the drugs and the violence. Mr. Miyamoto dropped by to see Haze - and he didn't.
If it makes the Haze crew feel any better, they should just remember that if Miyamoto were making drug-heavy FPSs, they'd all be out of work. Violent, drug-heavy sidescrollers where magical mushrooms can cause hallucinations of super powers—that's Miyamoto's territory. More »

Mario Family Figure Set Signed by Miyamoto on eBay
Here's a nice little find for you Nintendo collectors, especially for those of you who like MIB. Well, technically I suppose the MIB has been ruined by the signature of the genius Miyamoto, but what are you gonna do? This is a boxed set of Nintendo figurines gotten from Japan's awesome Club Nintendo and signed by miyaoto himself complete with little quotes for each of the characters. The set in this form is not available in the U.S. (although you can get the individual ones at the Nintendo World Store) and of course the signature makes it ultra rare. At the time of the writing of this article, there were six bids bring the price up to a reasonable $46 although the reserve has not been met yet. If you want this precious, precious Nintendo treasure for your very own, you have until July 25. More »

Miyamoto Talks Nintendo's View On Network Play
The rap on Nintendo: Polished games, innovative hardware, internet hater. In a recent interview with Shigeru Miyamoto (guy's everywhere these days!), the Mario creator says not so! Nintendo is interested in providing a high quality online, networked experience. But, it's just not the way wewanthave come to expect. It's different. Miyamoto explains: More »

RPGamer Staff Slain By Pointy-Haired Protagonist
Tragedy struck today, as the entire staff at RPGamer.com were hunted down and slain by a young man with an oversized sword, who witnesses have identified as "a spiky-haired amnesiac with a mysterious past."

Gaze at the Miyamoto Chibi-Robo Drawing! Do It!
While Wired's Chris Kohler was recently in Japan, "doin' his thang," he swung by game creator Skip—the good people that brought us the GameCube's wonderwork Chibi-Robo. While snooping around the office, looking for shit to steal, Kohler happened across this truly lovely Chibi-Robo drawing done by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Cool find, indeed! Kohler then built his own Chibi-Robo shrine at his pad in San Fran. No, really. More »
