We actually <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/08\/shigeru_miyamoto_delivers_keynote_speech_for_computer_entertainment_developers_conference\">covered the news<\/a> not that long ago, but some new information regarding his speech has since come to light.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside talk of smartphone gaming culture, praise towards <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/minecraft\"><strong>Minecraft<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; which he apparently wishes he had created himself, and general words of wisdom, Miyamoto-san shared his thoughts on the genre of\u00a0MMORPGs. If you&#8217;re unfamiliar, massively multiplayer online role-playing games &#8211; to give them their full title &#8211; take an awful lot of work to develop and maintain. Titles such as <strong>World of Warcraft<\/strong> &#8211; which now has over 100 million user accounts attached to it &#8211; need constant monitoring, updates, and more to stay relevant as the game continues to evolve online.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a snippet of what he had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cA few years ago, when MMORPGs were coming into fashion, I didn\u2019t want to make one. Since I get tired of things easily, I don\u2019t want to keep making one game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He went on to explain that, while the free-to-play business model is something that he&#8217;s not particularly keen on &#8211; and would put him off creating\u00a0an MMORPG regardless &#8211; it&#8217;s actually his personal working style that causes the bigger issue. He said that once a game has been developed, he wants to instantly move on to the next project rather than being stuck on the same title; having to push out new updates and keep on top of maintenance doesn&#8217;t suit his personality.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it &#8211; if you were hoping for a new, Miyamoto-created take on the MMORPG genre, you&#8217;re probably out of luck. Still, the Nintendo legend has mastered so many other genres in his lifetime that we can definitely let him off on this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shigeru Miyamoto &#8211; the creator of many of Nintendo&#8217;s most successful franchises and all-round lovable guy &#8211;\u00a0recently delivered a keynote speech for the 2018\u00a0Computer Entertainment Developers Conference\u00a0held in Yokohama, Japan.
