“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.”<\/p>\n

How many times have you heard this quote over the years? Twitter threads of people posting responses to game delays, or even using it as a response to people upset about delays. It’s reached a kind of god-like status, like uttering these words has the opposite effect of saying Beetlejuice in the mirror three times.<\/p>\n

These words are often attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto, the father of Mario<\/strong>, Pikmin<\/strong>, Zelda<\/strong>, etc. – he’s pretty much the face of Nintendo. And the quote is often associated with the delay of Ocarina of Time<\/a>. It’s been quoted time and time again in interviews – and he’s even discussed it with YouTuber TheJWittz<\/a> – but do we have any proof that Miyamoto ever said it?<\/p>\n

Javed Sterritt, filmmaker and owner of the YouTube channel Good Blood<\/a>, has dared to ask what nobody has asked before: where is the original quote from?<\/p>\n
