GDC: Shigeru Miyamoto's keynote address Finished
Another day, another keynote - at 18.30 GMT (10.30 PST), Nintendo's creative legend Shigeru Miyamoto will be taking the stage to address the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, and we will of course be providing our customary Live Text coverage of the keynote.
As with Sony's presentation yesterday, this is the first time Nintendo has had a chance to set out its stall in public since the launch of Wii - but unlike Sony, Nintendo has managed to keep a tight lid on the content of Miyamoto's speech, so frankly we don't have a clue what he's going to talk about.
Previous Nintendo speeches at GDC have been a mixed bag - always stirring, fascinating and downright emotive, but not always what you might call news-laden. Some years, you get a massive announcement; Wi- Fi Connection and the move into online gaming was first revealed at GDC two years ago. Other years, you get a senior Nintendo designer talking about what games mean to him, where he thinks they're going and what it was like when he used to stay up all night and eat a lot of pizza.
We'll be kicking off Live Text around half six, and hopefully avoiding some of the Internet connection problems which caused hiccups with our Phil Harrison Live Text last night - so tune in then to find out what the father of Mario and Link (by different mothers, presumably) has in store for us!
Our live coverage has now ended. Here's what you missed: Updating...
Looks like the keynote could be starting late. There are still a few people filling into the hall. It's all giant screens with the Nintendo logo and high tempo repetitive beats.
There seem to be a few fanboys around, including one journalist dressed in a Mario hat and dungarees. No moustache though. Shame.
A man in a suit with a robot head on is standing in front of the stage, bowing and waving to people. Makes a change from Sony's giant footballs yesterday.
Still no sign of Miyamoto or indeed anyone apart from the audience and a man with a robot head.
We're being told to turn off all telephones "and all other noise creating devices". Even DSes?
Oh good, more Daft Punk. No sign of Miyamoto. One of the stewards is wearing a kilt.
They're still seating people... They're still playing Daft Punk... He's still wearing a kilt...
They're playing One More Time one more time. Argh.
We're being asked to "extinguish all noise producing devices" now and take our seats. Everybody's taken their seats, what's the hold up? Is Miyamoto busy finishing a particularly intense game of Wii Tennis?
It's starting! Jamil Moledina, the boss of GDC, is on the stage. He's talking about culturally dominant art forms and the contribution of Miyamoto.
Apparently this is giong to be "a very different kind of keynote, a personal experience".
It's Miyamoto's Mii! We're seeing how it was made. Now he's in the big room with Jamil and Bill. And he's on stage!
"I'm amazed that it has been eight years since we had the chance to talk. You haven't aged a bit, just like me," Miyamoto is joshing.
Now a translator is helping out. Miyamoto's waving the Wii remote about. He's going to use the Wii Photo Channel to do his presentation.
He's showing us a photo of his garden. He's zooming in to look for pikmin...
He's going to talk about when he first started designing games - he's showing Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, the stereotypical image of gamers.
Miyamoto is wearing a nice velvet jacket and a Zelda pin badge! He's talking about 1998 and the success of Goldeneye.
By 2004, Miyamoto says, it was all about GTA and Halo, and reporters always wanted to ask him about the effect games were having on people.
"They thought that we were changing gamers into some kind of zombies, and this troubled me."
"Players themselves seemed to only want more of the same kind of game. We as developers felt we had to make these games in order to sell them, so this was a period where Nintendo and myself found ourselves at a crossroads."
The topic for today is the creative vision - and Nintendo's creative vision. "No matter how clear your own vision it must resonate with your company." Luckily Miyamoto and Nintendo have always matched.
There are 3 elements to Nintendo's corporate vision. First, the expanded audience. "Maybe you've already heard too much about it by now..."
Miyamoto's showing the "Wife-O-Meter", which he uses to evaluate how the expanded audience is growing by evaluating "the interest level of my own wife".
"You may remember Pac-Man and Mario coming out. These were important moments in your life. They were not important for my wife."
He thought his wife would like Tetris, but she didn't. But then she watched their daughter playing Ocarina - "So then I thought, maybe there is hope." Then came Animal Crossing - "When it came out I assured my wife there were no enemies to fight, so she agreed to actually touch the controller."
Miyamoto is a dog lover. Wonder what he's going to talk about next...
Looks like he's showing the new thing on Wii where you can look at poll results - 60 percent of Wii owners like dogs, while 40 are cat people.
Photos of Miyamoto's dog. "He sleeps on a better mattress than I do." He's called Pick because his face looks like a guitar pick.
Surprise! He's talking about Nintendogs. "When I showed this to my wife, she finally looked at games differently." But it was Brain Age that turned her into a true gamer - "She's finally begin to understand the unique interactive entertainment found in videogames."
On Valentine's day, women in Japan give chocolates to men. Miyamoto was late from work, and found his wife still up playing the Wii. "She was casting her votes on the Everybody Votes channel."
"It would be more normal to find Donkey Kong eating at my dining table" rather than see his wife download something game-related before.
Miyamoto's wife says she can beat him at Brain Age. Websites around the globe furiously type "WIFE BEATS MIYAMOTO" headline.
The second element of Nintendo's vision is their devotion to the entertainment business. They don't worry about diversification, so "every employee focuses solely on entertainment."
Engineers and programmers work in the same building at Nintendo. Apparently this is important so the teams are close.
He's talking about Nintendo controllers now. "It's a group collaboration." "In creating Wii, this process was more intense than ever. We had different teams trying to reconcile their separate viewpoints."
One team wanted to do new stuff, the Zelda team wanted to focus on old franchises, the Wii team wanted to focus on the controller.
He's showing a curvy square Wii controller prototype, a round orange one with a star in the middle, a black remote similar to the Wiimote.
They wanted to create "the most entertainment for the most users" with the controller. "We felt we were in a long tunnel with no light at the end." Finally they decided to mimic a TV remote.
He's still going on about the Wii remote. "It can do a lot, can't it." He says it's what he dreamed of for many years.
A photo of a museum in Kyoto now. Can't possibly spell the name. It's a museum for a game that blends playing cards and ancient Japanese poetry. Again, can't spell it. Nintendo is one of the companies that makes the cards.
[The museum in Kyoto is Shigureden, and the poetry/card game is Uta Karuta - Ed]
Miyamoto helped design the museum - it's got LCD screens on the floor. As you walk around, you get a modified DS which keeps track of your location in the museum. You can press buttons to change the images on the screens at your feet.
Hmm... Is he going to announce anything new at all?
He's still banging on about the museum. It does look very nice, mind you.
"It wasn't until last E3 when we saw the long lines and happy faces at our booth - that was the moment when we knew this risk was worth taking."
He's showing us footage of Japanese women playing the DS for the first time. And an old buffer and a little girl. Hm.
The third element of Nintendo's vision is risk - doing things differently. "We questioned our own definition of what a videogame is." DS, Nintendogs, Brain Age... "GameCube was just a half-step in working towards an expanded audience."
He's talking about the GC's controller - "In the end I think this controller was still too complicated" for non-gamers. "In all honesty there were concerns even for me" with the Wii, and with its one handed controller. "I found myself acting as an evangelist inside the company. I would tell our producers that you have to think not about what's going to be lost, but gained."
"Corporations don't make videogames, people do." Is he announcing a Goldie Lookin' Chain game?
"What I always think about is the core element of fun within the game. To do that I imagine one thing - the face of the player as he or she is experiencing the game, not any individual part of the game itself."
He's talking about game design and the importance of thinking about the player's experience. "If I think we need to drastically change the spec or delay a game, I'm going to take that step" if he thinks it's important for the player.
More lifestyle photos of ladies and talk about expanding the audience. Wii Play "seems to be too elementary" for core gamers, but they've found many core gamers like it because "it's a game they can play with their non-gaming friends".
"I am making games so players themselves become more creative." Gamers are encouraged to think proactively while they're playing. "The core of this element is really communication".
"I thought that Zelda could create a different kind of communication." The first NES prototype of Zelda didn't go over well in Japan - "people were confused... They couldn't even solve the puzzles." But rather than make it easier, Miyamoto decided to take the sword away at the beginning.
"I wanted them to talk with other Zelda players" to solve problems. Back then there weren't chat rooms but players found ways to exchange information.
Animal Crossing now. It's also enjoyed by hardcore gamers, so Miyamoto learned that what gamers want "isn't always the best graphics or best audio or best production". 7 million copies now sold.
Developers always complain that there's "not enough" - people, budget, time. "I often go to Mr. Iwata with these same complaints, and unfortunately he responds the way I expect your bosses do - Too Bad."
Wii Baseball now. Miyamoto's always been a big fan of baseball, but the Wii game is very simple and short - "not very realistic at all".
They spent their time making the game feel realistic, focusing on pitching and hitting. "We felt we could create a new kind of realism people hadn't experienced before." "At one point during development, we did try using Mario characters" instead of Miis - but people liked the Miis better.
"Some people at Nintendo say when I have an idea I never let it go." He's showing a toy Nintendo once made that pitched baseballs. He thought it would make a great videogame, but the thing about Wii Baseball is you can choose when you throw a curve ball.
He's showing an old program for NES for designing and animating faces. It was put on hold but Miyamoto liked it. In the nineties it came BACK.
Thought everyone would love his GameCube program. He's showing footage of characters dancing. It was frst shown at E3 in 2002.
Iwata told Miyamoto that a team was working on a face creation game for DS. Miyamoto was frustrated he hadn't managed to do it himself.
Mii now - and back to the expanded audience. He wanted to make something everyone could use so they made the Mii editor simple.
Working on a new Mii channel where you can compare Miis and enter contests.
He's always asked "what happened to Mario 128?" by people. Says most of you have played it in Pikmin.
Says you'll be able to play Mario Galaxy this year. [Hooray, an announcement! - Ed.]
Has a lot of faith in future of games. Wants to reach out to those who fear them. Back to stereotype of gamer, which is already changing.
Mario Galaxy video. Moustachey zooms round spherical worlds, spins stars, bounces between planets - there's lava level, a plant monster. Applause. Cheers.
If we can combat my wife we can combat anyone. Standing ovation. The end!

Malik, get in touch with reality. Yes he is.
Anyone want to buy a Wii w/ 3 games, ton of VC games, Wii Points, 2 wiimotes/nunchucks and a classic controller in perfect condition?
Crap release list (leaked from earlier) has pushed me over the edge.
/kinda joking...
What the heck did you learn from this personal insight? That some museum is a nice place and uses DS's? That his wife now plays video games? Yeah, it was really exciting. Any old chap at the local pub would tell more interesting stories of his life.
I thought it was interesting (and quite amusing).
It was a rare opportunity to get a personal insight into the mind of one of the greatest creators in our field.
If you didn't get anything out of it, ask what you were expecting?
Miyamoto to come on stage and play previously unseen levels of Mario Galaxy?
Now that would have been a disappointment.
You'll see the games eventually. But this is a rare chance to see Miyamoto talk about one of the biggest innovations in the business and how it happened.

Such as how the current audience only seems to want one type of game (shooters) and so he wanted to broaden that scope to people who'd want other types of games, yadda yadda..
good read (if you cant be arsed watching the whole hour long presnetation)
Seems I missed out again.
If the nunchuck controls the spin of the globe by analog stick while you point at the screen and jump and hit with remote then that will work. Otherwise yes, it will be confusing.
Get the video feed down on EG TV next time lads. It's the only way to cover shows and events like this.

Tonight's TV tells me that my car has NOTHING to do with global warming!!! Solar activity heats the seas which release more CO2, which is a consequence of global temparature changes, not a cause of it. Seems that Gore forgot to point out on his graphs that there's an 800 yr difference between the trend of global temparature and CO2 levels, with temparature leading the way. Hah! Tell that to Brown when the fooker charges me by the mile on my 3 litre monster. Grrrrrr!

"All consoles are one trick pony's as far as im concerned. Their "trick" being to play games."
Clever retort. However, am I to invest the price of 5 games in something that MAY only give me 5 games?
Sheesh, that dude looks like he's being ass fucked against a glass window.
Did he buy a Euro PS3?
/looks in wallet and feels shame at sight of PS3 receipt
Well, first of all, the Earth cooled, then the dinosaurs came, then .....
/falls off chair.
Nice video, although it's the other games that interest me more.
It's clear he's got an interest in seeing what makes some people like games and others not, what inspires people to play, how does creativity and innovation influence or is the other way round etc. etc.
Quite a good speech IMO.
I'll say this for Nint, they somehow always seem to get a more human touch accross as opposed to the corporate assault you get from Sony and MS.
If you watch the video you'll see that the speech WAS interesting, particularly to developers I would assume. This is what they do at Conferences.
@Smelly
I don't think his speech would have been different if it wasn't for the Stock issue; as you said, the video reveals that the speech was well prepared and interesting; and Nintendo don't usually make big announcements in GDC.
Unfortunately, reading a few lines does not give the proper picture of the actual speech, and because there aren't big announcements, it is easy to see why people reading these came to the conclusion that it was a lame speech, particularly after Sony used its speech as a Marketing tool to announce products.
Its quite interesting if you watch it with a games developer hat on.
>this keynote reminded me of Sony's last year E3,
Difference is E3 *was* there as a marketting tool for presentations!
Because Miyamoto agreed to do the speech before the deal was made? It would have been nicer of the Japanese government to wait until after GDC, but I guess they don't care much for games.
Please don't stop reporting speeches like this. Irrespective of what the content of the speech actually is, this gives not only info on what a speech says but also a feel for how a speech is being delivered and how it's being received that's far superior to a simple transcript, and probably to any recording. I wish all speeches were reported like this.
Sure, but as far as I can tell he didn't say much of interest to developers either.
/refers you to 'bullcrap'
It's not there for maketing or product anouncing. Do you go to Doctor Conferences to buy your medication???
'You know why that is, they have been forbidden to talk about anything that wasn't already announced, because of a billion dollar stock trade.'
Why give a keynote speech at all then, other than to bolster Nintendo's image?
Nintendo as a whole (my comment isn't targeted at Miyamoto) pretty much acts just as arrogantly about the Wii.
You may call that gloating arrogantly, but it's still true, isn't it? If the truth is flattering, aren't you allowed to talk about it anymore? Given the circumstances, what choice was there?
I'd rather have seen a couple of concrete announcements instead of a confirmation of yet another Mario game that everybody was already expecting.
You know why that is, they have been forbidden to talk about anything that wasn't already announced, because of a billion dollar stock trade.
To be fair, this keynote reminded me of Sony's last year E3, when they were gloating about how PS1 changed the games industry, sales numbers, blah blah blah.
Nintendo as a whole (my comment isn't targeted at Miyamoto) pretty much acts just as arrogantly about the Wii. I'd rather have seen a couple of concrete announcements instead of a confirmation of yet another Mario game that everybody was already expecting.
I guess it's easy to think so, because what he accomplished is just amazing, still I didn't see anything to suggest he praised himself. Be fair.
dont ask A stupid question.
and it wasnt - one doesn't and never will know what to believe
[bit slow eh?]
At least there was no bullcrap like "Game 3.0", and with confirmation of SMG, I'm ok with the whole charade.
By 'stuff like this' you mean bits of development history we know already, interspersed with updates on Mrs Miyamoto's gaming tendencies?
Rare's Michael Boulton is scheduled to host a session regarding Viva Pinata's shader graphics technologies. I don't know who's covering it, though.
I kid, I kid. Viva has combated me.
I thought you said "interesting" developers... ;p
I should start believing internet rumors
"We must combat the unbelievers"...?
I'd much rather stuff like this than the typical corporate bollocks, marketing-disguised-as-news and fanboy food. It's kind of what I imagine a GDC to be about. I wonder how much of the Mario-face-thingy stuff in SM64 made it into the Mii designer?
Any other interesting developers presenting at the GDC? What about the people behind Okami? What about RARE?
Oh.
I hope Nintendo doesn't spend the next 5 years just bragging about how cool the Wii is. This keynote is starting to remind me of the Ninty from the old Ninty-SEGA wars days...
hahahahahahahahahaha
maybe they were sleepwalking and the clapping was to wake them up....
Someone's not getting any tonight.
Ok, now I definitely know that the text stream was lacking."
rofl - theyre clapping cos its ended, and standing cos they want to leave
What type of ending is that ??
Ok, now I definitely know that the text stream was lacking.
Hm, I guess the live text stream is lacking.
On CVG it looks like he's just pwned someone...
Either that or an operation to rework my skeleton to be more flexible for Morph Ball technology.
I guess it's more of an acknowledgement, but wooohooo.
Don't worry , you not missing much...
Best keynote ever!
I love the Wii, but I think the chances of a real announcement are unlikely. We're still waiting for loads of Wii/DS games that have been out in America for donkeys anyway.
It's the 2nd coming!
TIME-TRAVEL!
Don't make me do it again!
I guess there would have been cancelling fees he didn't care about.
Top quote from across the watery expanse:
Shane: "Yeah, I like museums and poetry as much as the next guy, but, uh...is there anything new here?"
How about using real life figures for a change ? Maybe that'll help with the realism part...
Told you so.
Here it comes.
"Back then there weren't chat rooms but players found ways to exchange information."
GEEKMEET!
Hey, I was going to say that.
I wonder if Phil Harrison is holding up a picture of LittleBigPlanet?
Ah that explains Europe then
Mario, Metroid, Super Smash Bros. and Animal Crossing all coming out 2010.
But I liked Brookside and I never smiled once when watching that.
I guess he means it was a "half-step", so it failed. I guess Bongos, dance mats, microphones also fall into that category.
Ah it all becomes clear
WTF is he banging on about? GameCube expanded audience? Huh?
XD
EDIT: And surely he is talking about his development philosophy?
That's the thing he isn't ... it's waffle.
/Finally puts Crackdown into the 360
If they were gonna announce something, they'd use reggie.
EDIT: Yes, even without mentioning crabs. Giant, unfriendly ones.
That's going to be difficult. o_O

Most of these guys dont seem to "get" that though. So im just trying to save them from disapointment.
(before we get 1000's of posts slagging off nintendo saying "how dare they not make announcements, they obviously havent got any games planned, the wii is doomed, etc"
Them too.
Of course I'm sure most of the rabble would have said it was shit because it didn't have new game announcements in it. In broadly the same way that plenty of people would tell you the broadsheet(ish) newspapers are shit because they don't have tits on page three
This had/has 2/3 of the posts of the Sony-fest last night but it really shouldn't be that close
Therfore it makes sense that he's only gonna talk about development.
(or god forbid just talk about sales success of the wii, and games we already know about)
Dont expect any announcements, do expect an interesting talk on game development (hopefully)
The future of the industry isn't 60 year old women playing DS games.
They need to target younger, to look at the longterm.
My girlfriend thought Nintendogs was the biggest most repetetive waste of time ever, and thought Sonic was more advaned in 1991.

For a big Barbie fan?
"Come play at my house, I have such a nice Resitance wallpaper and will make tea for all my friends". Interesting, to say the least!
What part of this simple concept dont you understand?
Sony presentation was from a marketting guy. He was there to market stuff and promote the ps3.
Nintendos presentation is from a development guy (who's not allowed to make any announcements), he's going to talk about game development.
Cant believer there is 111 posts here already.. Afterwards everyone will be moaning about how boring nintendo was and how DARE they not announce anything. Nintendo are evil, they wont announce anything because they had nothing to announce.. hahaha the wii is shit.
There, i just saved everyone the hassle before the talk itself.
I've got one of those it goes from
"O, you've not done what I've asked you!"
to:
"o, o, o, ooooooOOOOOOooo"
Z0mG Mrs. Miyamoto hatez gamezes!
Ta.
Really?
Happy wives are good things!
Its a GAMES DEVELOPER conference. He's there to TALK to games developers, NOT to announce stuff.
He'll probably talk about how to make games (as thats what he does).. (shock horror).. Unlike sonys talk which was by a marketting man (who couldnt really talk about making games)
Well, now you come to mention it...
Hmm
That reminds me of a joke I heard once about how if videogames effected us then those of us who played Pac-man as youngsters we would now spend our free time moving rapidly around darkenend rooms listening to electronic music eating pills.

As he is not announcing anything, he reckons he won't need to show up at all.

That was a good joke!
Our photographer, Zack, is getting hassled for using a camera tripod in our current seating area. " My legs are longer than this tripod," he argues. "Yes sir, but your legs aren't a fire hazard," the GDC helper replies, coolly. We briefly picture his legs consumed by flames.

Heh.
18:50. Miyamoto Mario Galaxy will be in 720p..........As it will be released in 2010 on the Wii2.
I bet he'll just be staring at the crowd for an hour, making funny noises.
Hardly an announcement.. That's a game which was already known about. Hardly gonna alter share price that one is it?

/Hasn't touched Wii for over 6 weeks now.
Kick there fat asses in there.
So far, the wii controller have been a gimmick, just like the DS. But what worked for the DS won't work for the Wii, because I expect more than 10 minutes of fun at a time on a full blown home console.

Feel free to repost every 30 posts or so.
plus, last I'd heard the shares were just finishing being sold off to individual investors, so that may well have settles down now.
o and why has this whole stock thing only been reported on a few "lower brow" sites shall we say, but none of the others?
All consoles are one trick pony's as far as im concerned. Their "trick" being to play games.
Everything else is needless fluff.
So dont expect to see or hear any new announcements.
Not that I know what that would have to be..
I am sure they didn't want Miyamoto to say anything that would have any effect on the share price!
I hope something good is announced though, what do you reckon, more or less info than leipzig last year?(read only mario strikers and battalion wars 2)
