Shigeru Miyamoto: "Wii Music Development Was Relatively Easy"
Game development for Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto is all about his team working "very diligently" and then having him come in to suggest adding silly things. Miyamoto's latest game, Wii Music, is different — he didn't have to go in and tell the team to add goofiness like the cheerleader. "I just turned the game on one day and all of a sudden there was a cheerleader," Miyamoto told Rolling Stone. "From that sense I would say that Wii Music was a relatively easy development project for me." We like it better when game development is difficult for Miyamoto. More »

Miyamoto In A Bluegrass Band, Jams In Fields
When Shigeru Miyamoto said music was a big hobby of his, dude wasn't lying. We all know he plays the banjo, but what many of you may not know is just how much he plays the banjo. Speaking with GameSpot Germany, the Nintendo man has revealed that he plays in a bluegrass band, and each year they "attend a jamboree where several hundred people camp out for a few days and we have a large jam-session." Wonder, then, that Wii Music went for dog suits and cheerleaders instead of ageing hippies and grassy fields. More » -

Miyamoto Is Producing Punch-Out
When old-timey Nintendo gamers cried out for more old-timey Nintendo games, I don't think Punch-Out was what people had in mind. Wasn't what I had in mind. I had F-Zero 16:9 and Return To Luigi's Mansion in mind. Ah well! Punch-Out it is, and despite the game looking so early you'd swear they cobbled it together in a post-E3 frenzy of appeasement and atonement, people are excited. Will the knowledge that Shigeru Miyamoto is "producer" of the game get you any more excited? Because he is. Course, he's only a producer, not the producer, so all he could be doing is rubber-stamping and putting his name on the box, but even that should be enough for many of you. More »

Miyamoto On How His Way of Working Has Changed

"We Wanted Wii Music's Music To Appeal To Very Broad Audience"
While Wii Music has been getting a tepid reception, at least Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto is excited. Really, really, really excited. So excited that even after working on the game all those months, he's still rushing home to play it. When he's not playing it, he's thinking about it — a sign, Miyamoto says, that he's created a fun game. Good signs! And to those who are sadden that their favorite Nintendo songs haven't made it onto the game, Miyamoto explains: More »

Miyamoto's Credit Crisis Purchasing Advice
Times are tough! And when times are tough, standard theory on the essentials in life maintains that we need three things to survive. Food, clothing, and shelter. We get those three, we're doing OK. But Nintendo never got anywhere adhering to standard theories! Which is why it shouldn't surprise you too much to see/hear Shigeru Miyamoto saying that, after eating, he believes the most important thing in life is the "enrichment of our souls". Somehow, we doubt he's talking about art and the opera. So remember, kids, when the credit crunch hits your household, forget the mortgage/rent and new shoes; get yourself Wii Music instead! More »

What Would Happen If Miyamoto Was Trapped In His Own Games?
I can tell you. He'd die. He'd run out of time, get stomped by a Moblin, fall of a ledge, take your pick. He's a small, middle-aged, human nerd, not a plumber, not a warrior. But then, when you're looking at the premise "What would happen if Shigeru Miyamoto was trapped in his own games?", reality shouldn't really be taken into account. Story-telling should be. This animation - by Luis Logam - is, for a flash job, surprisingly polished (especially the in-game sequences), though you may want to turn the sound down if you're not a big Fatboy Slim fan. More »

If Miyamoto Designed A Motorcycle...
...this is what it would look like. Probably. Unsurprisingly, it's Nintendo-themed. The "Miyamotorcycle" makes good use of the Virtual Boy, as well as the "Oh Shit!" handle from the Game Cube, which adds a bit of safety and protection. But you have to question the practical uses for the tires. I mean, a Warp Pipe won't do you any good on slick roads, and the DK Barrel for the rear is just asking to break apart if you hit a bad pothole. Having problems identifying everything? The folks over at The Minus World made the list for you to check out after the jump. More »
