Title: Nintendo Not As Interested In Making Games For “Passive” Audiences Says Miyamoto
Post by: TheMightyThor on August 27, 2014, 02:02:24 PM

Whoa, my. (http://www.siliconera.com/2014/08/27/nintendo-interested-making-games-passive-audiences-says-miyamoto/)

Quote from: Shigeru Miyamoto

“[These are] the sort of people who, for example, might want to watch a movie. They might want to go to Disneyland,” Miyamoto says, in a quote transcribed by CVG.

“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].”

What does TMK think?

I'm sure they'll eventually put their money where their mouth is. At some point. Maybe.

So uh, will this be enough to curb anybody who still flings cries of "casual" at them?
