...can we have a translation? edit: nvm, I didn't notice the other link had one. | |
Shigeru Miyamoto is the exact same age as my father. Same birthday, same year. | |
He's a great man...also, The translation was rough but still an interesting read. | |
GameCube controller was a failure? | |
Gamecube controller? Failure? It had my favourite design along with the Super Nintendo. At least the small ones. | |
You guys are stuck on the controller thing? Tinkle Popo Really? Really?! That's just as bag as Wii... and sounds just as gross. | |
Tinkle popo, I died a little inside | |
Thats a new fact about Kirby for me. The only interesting thing I know about Kirby is that he was named after a japanese vacuum cleaner. Also the GameCube controller rocks. | |
Random trivia: The nerds best friend | |
HELL YES I CAN! woop XD edit: huh... according to the article, Miyamoto wanted to be a manga-author when he was younger. | |
I envy you... Be sure to lock your doors and windows tonight. Anywho... Really? Nintendo opposed Zelda? | |
I don't even like Nintendo all that much these days, but you gotta be heartless not to love Shiggy. | |
Hah, Tinkle Popo. | |
It is my favorite out of all the Nintendo controllers, and my Favorite of the Gamecube generation. I loved it. | |
Tinkle Popo Super Star Ultra *holds back giggling* | |
No, he was clearly named after the vacuum cleaner from The Brave Little Toaster I don't know if that's anachronistic or not and I don't care. Also, I honestly liked the GameCube controller. | |
wow. | |
....Tinkle Popo? *laughs uncontrollably* | |
i sorta understand being against legend of zelda, the hero in the game is link, link does all the work, we relate to link, we love link and they choose to name the game after the frozen girl who does nothing, any way im going to play the peach brothers 2 now. | |
Wow, so he IS left handed? Nice. I do so love trivia <3 | |
yeah tons of people complained about it and how it was shaped and the controlling issues surrounding it Adam Sessler on XPlay loved to complain about it | |
Yeah, what kind of broken statement is that? That thing fondles the contours of my fingers every time I pick it up. I honestly don't know which controller is better between DualShock and that one. | |
I feel the same way. Long live the GC controller! | |
I cant get enough of that picture plus thats interesting trivia though some of it I already knew... | |
Good to see the trivia, cheered me up for some reason. | |
Wrong. He was named after some lawyer guy that helped Nintendo back in the days. | |
True. He's done to much for gaming to do so as well. | |
Random Nintendo Trivia With Shigeru Miyamoto
Ever wondered what Kirby was originally going to be called, or what Nintendo of America thought about the name Wii? Well, now you can find out.
Speaking at the Digital Contents Expo, the same place the VR Buggy came from, Shigeru Miyamoto delivered a keynote speech that let us in to a load of interesting Nintendo trivia.
Amongst the 'revelations' were such gems as the fact that Kirby's original name was "Tinkle Popo" or that - surprise, surprise - Nintendo America and Nintendo Europe weren't all that keen on the name Wii. All the same, it's interesting to hear him say that the GameCube controller was a "little failure", or how Nintendo initially opposed the creation of Legend of Zelda.
You can read it all for yourself here, provided you can read Japanese that is.
