"Their attitude is, 'okay, I am the customer. You are supposed to entertain me.' It's kind of a passive attitude they're taking, and to me it's kind of a pathetic thing. They do not know how interesting it is if you move one step further and try to challenge yourself [with more advanced games]."

Guys... Guys.... Guys...

It's starting.

[Raiden]

The focus has been that since launch just now Shiggy is saying it but not a sudden shift announcement. They will have the occasional Mii game but so far it's been real games I mean they published Ninja Gaiden 3 at launch. They announced they are publishing Bayonetta 2 before launch. They let 3rd parties put out all those ports. The Wii U focus has been pretty much since day 1 is more on actual games.  This is not a sudden shift this is just a confrmation what they been doing all along with Wii U. Even late in Wii's life was where the shift started.

[Hunter]

Obviously Nintendo realised that games like Wii Fit U son't sell very well for Wii U.

Just don't cancel Treasure Tracker

[LinkKennedy]

I just hope he creates interesting new ip. Also Galaxy 3 would be awesome

This is miyamoto's team only that's not doing casual stuff. Nintendo itself will carry on. And right now miyamoto is making Star Fox. 

[Teddy]

dat miyamoto

[NintendoReport]

it was the plan all along

 

[MarvelofMan]

Wii U is really starting to gain more momentum with these shockwaves. Exciting news!

[Lightning_Ninja]

Well it's about damn time he stated this.  Given everything that has happened recently, I believe Nintendo may have broken.  In a good way.

[flowerlandfilms]

He isn't saying anything here. He is just musing about the shfiting sands of the game industry and everyone is mis-quoting it as 'CAZUAL GAMES SUXKZORZ LOLZ'.
Miyamoto does not consider Mario and Donkey Kong etc to be casual games.

That's kind of the impression I'm gettng as well. Since he mentioned mobile specifically, i get the idea by casual he means stuff where you don't have to think pretty much at all while you play. So things like flappy bird, etc.

The word he used to describe them was pathetic, actually. And hes being pretty specific and damning.

Hes directly referring to all the time and money, and oppurtunity cost nintendo spent expanding the user base with these casuals, and how they spectacularly failed, en masse, to want to take the next step and try and challenge themselves with something more advanced. So, Nintendo is done with them.

Your second sentence is completely nonsensical and has nothing to do with anything anyone in reality has said.

f-zero then f-zero

I think that's what you want him to have meant. But I do not think that is what he meant.

No dude. Sorry. Hes pretty damn specific.

We no longer need to make games for the people who like mobile style game offerings is pretty complete and concise. No real way around this one.

 

 

Nintendo took a chance, making simplistic games for what they thought was a beginner audience who would then move on to be a more sophisticated audience, that just turned out to be a simplistic audience who never wanted anything more. Now Nintendo, and I quote, 'Doesnt have to worry about' making games for them anymore.

 

Anyone from that audience, who does want more, will move on, on there own. Nintendo no longer has to waste resources making games to bring them into gaming.

Except for the fact that it is a translated comment from the original Japanese, and the media have been known to take whatever meaning they wish from Japanese Nintendo statements without translating them properly. This is actually the very opposite of "Specific".

[Tsuchinoko]

Pretty nice to hear this coming so bluntly from Miyamoto's mouth. I hope it's well translated, seems like it should be since he wasn't speaking in circles. He probably said it incredibly straight forward so everyone would know what he meant this time.

Now Nintendo go and make that Super Metroid HD I've been wanting!! You would hear a piercing scream around the world from all the Ninty fans if that was announced.
