Shigeru Miyamoto’s keynote at the Digital Contents Expo began at 12:30 am eastern time and is now over. Read a quick summary below and then hit the jump for the full google translated details.
Nothing was announced.
That’s right, nothing. The only thing we had to go by were Japanese Twitter accounts and Google Translate made things pretty confusing. From what I gathered, it seems Miyamoto just talked about his Lifetime Achievement Award, detailing his life’s work. They showed an old video of Miyamoto and then he began to talk. He talked about how he wanted to design puppet dolls in elementary school and draw comics when he was in junior high. He then went on to talk about many of the games he worked on, like Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, and more.
He discussed things like how Nintendo didn’t like the idea of the original Zelda at first. Kirby was originally named Tinkle Popo. Random things like that. And then he finished by saying he wants to go back to the basics and said that the gaming industry is at its finest when the games are easy to understand and easy to play. And with that, the keynote was over. Nothing announced.
