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.

    I think he should be allowed to take it easy every once in a while.

    Wii Music is most definitely a game.

    @cb_32:
    You obviously are not in the game industry, nor do you know much about gaming.

    There are hundreds of games with huge development times and lots of work put into them that are far worse than Wii Music.

    @Mact:

    From the article Mact linked:

    Anybody who has played it has responded very positively to it. -Miyamoto

    That is *absolutely* not true, and Kotaku has video evidence of it, to boot.
