Nintendo has success by not looking like Sega, says Miyamoto

By Patrick Garratt

How do you make good games, Shigeru Miyamoto? By not making them look as though they’re made by Sega, apparently.

“I’m always instructing my game designers on the history of the characters and worlds we’ve created,” said the dev maestro, speaking to Wired. “Often we’re in development and I’ll say, ‘Oh, this looks like a Sega game. We need to make it look more like Mario.’”

Zing. More through the link. Thanks, GoNintendo.
