Sony’s Andrew House: Virtual Reality Is Ideal in Short Bursts Hands-On With the Oculus Rift and New Touch Controls at E3 Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime Talks Amiibo and the ‘Skylanders’ Deal “Splatoon” is an example-the idea came from the younger members of that team. I’ve been working with my teams for a long time. In the past, I would often have ideas for games that I would want to create and I would tell the different teams that work for me to make the games. WSJ: Is there a successor ready to take over your work when you retire? He doesn’t like videogames very much, but I keep sending him games all the time! WSJ: Have you ever approached filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki (" My Neighbor Totoro" and “ Spirited Away”) about making a game based on any of the characters in his films? Some have Nintendo-like characters? The identity we have for each group of characters is what helps them stay in people’s memories for so long. As we continue to make games that support those characters, the franchise begins to take on its own identity, which stands apart from our other character lines. Often, what you see in the toy industry or in other entertainment industries - Japan in particular - is people try to create something similar to what is already popular. Then we figure out what character fits best with that gameplay. What is going to be a fun experience? We design the experience first. Miyamoto: When we’re creating games, we don’t start with characters. WSJ: Why are Nintendo’s characters so enduring? Miyamoto: Fox is pretty strong in “Super Smash Brothers.” The other way to decide is to see what game I make next. Miyamoto: It’s Fox, but maybe that’s because I am Fox, I turn into Fox. WSJ: What’s your favorite “Star Fox” character? He’s part of the “Super Smash Bros.” line but also a “Star Fox” character. Miyamoto: There will be one new amiibo, the character Falco. WSJ: Will there be amiibo for “Star Fox Zero”? Miyamoto: (Laughs) … We’d have to figure out some other technique that they could do in the game instead maybe. WSJ: Would there be a revolt if players couldn’t do a barrel roll in “Star Fox Zero”?
