Shigeru Miyamoto stated that Nintendo succeeds by prioritizing games that are fun to play rather than chasing current popularity. The comments came in an interview with Famitsu. Miyamoto also noted that focusing only on quick profits prevents unique creations.
Shigeru Miyamoto said Nintendo gains global support because it does not begin projects by asking what is popular now. Instead the company has consistently created what it considers fun to play.
Miyamoto added that thinking only about quick money prevents anything unique or with potential. He observed that customers are no longer solely focused on technical specs when choosing consoles.
The remarks highlight Nintendo's avoidance of live-service multiplayer games. The company instead turned Splatoon into a single-player experience.
