Nintendo asks legend to keep silent about interests in case rivals use info to predict next big innovation
UK broadsheet The Times is reporting that Nintendo has ‘banned’ its legendary development guru Shigeru Miyamoto from discussing his hobbies with the outside world as the firm fears such talk may offer an insight into what he has planned next for the company.
Apparently, titles such as Brain Training, Wii Fit and Wii Music all stemmed from interests Miyamoto had in his personal life.
It was recently revealed that the upcoming Wii Music is the last game in Miyamoto’s grand Wii masterplan, suggesting that he will soon be turning his attentions to new projects for both Nintendo’s current machines and possibly some future ones.
The widely recognised developer has also confirmed that new Mario, Zelda and Pikmin games are currently in production, but owing to the firm’s current innovation hot-streak these are unlikely to be the only titles in the works.

Miyamoto
So presumably his hobbies list on his CV includes 'pretending to be a plump Italian plumber' and 'pretending to be a small boy exploring magical caves'?
Re: Miyamoto
No, I'd have thought playing eye toy and that golf game on the ps2 that used the simulated gold club not to mention all get bass and those fighting games with the simulated sword in the arcades - Maybe he'd like to tell us what hobbies he spoke of and what companies ripped those ideas off.
Re: Re: Miyamoto
Actually, I believe exploring caves near his home in his childhood was the inspiration for the Zelda series!
Re: Re: Re: Miyamoto
Exploring caves and consuming wild mushrooms... ;-)
At least it inspired some of the best games ever created.

I think given the salary he's on, he'll happily refrain from boring people about how he spends his sunday's xD
