If Miyamoto himself doesn't see any big changes at Nintendo in the near future.
Does this mean they will continue on their current downhill slide ?

Question miyamoto to his face and he'll jump on your head.
Nintendo operates on their own wavelength and continue to see nice profits, doubt they'll change. I mean, if they just started doing GTA and things like that, then what would separate them from xbox or ps2?

They could still develop all of those games they've been making, they'd just have a GTA style game too.
No he doesn't, he has heart problems and side steps.commish said:
He is always careful in what he says and likes to talk about his personal life rather than what we really want to know.
Frankly, I'm tired of him saying he has never seen the PSP and he never plays other console games.
Even Mr. Gates loves his Macintosh.

If Nintendo wanted edge I'd say build a big Zelda type game except not set in the traditional 'Nintendo Universe', have it be satirical like Conker's Bad Fur Day. I think they'd do better poking fun at stuff like that, within their range and with cute characters, than at gangster culture.

I think when you actually take it in context, he seems to be just talking about staying with Nintendo in general, not a commentary about what's happening at Nintendo. I mean they didn't ask him about the future of Nintendo, they asked about himself. He talks about looking to new things in his personal life (with his kids leaving, looking into new hobbies and all), but in regards to his relationship with Nintendo he's not looking to change that part of his life.
Solidsnake is right, they could still develope those type of games.
Nothing is stopping them except themselves.
Most Nintendo fans would kill for a next generation GTA styled game with Mario and the gang.
Forget the squirt gun. Mario needs to mature.
Bring on Killer Mario ! with an uzi and bullet proof vest.
Evil Mario would rock ! And the story could develope soumehow where Mario loses his memory when he eats the wrong mushroom.
Do it Total Recall style.

Disney also has other companies they own that create lots of violent movies.

I agree with you. Original poster is taking this quote out of context.
Even if he was being asked about future change generally with Nintendo, I'd be more interesting in seeing what Iwata had to say about that rather than Miyamoto (no offense to Miyamoto). He's the one with in charge of the overall vision and strategy for the company. As far as I can see, Iwata has effected noticeable change at Nintendo since taking over, and I imagine he'll continue to do so going forward, as he sees fit.
And Nintendo's in a downhill slide? You might want to qualify that. In the home console market, their marketshare has been shrinking, but overall they have a sizeable portion of the videogames market in their palm (hello gameboy).
BuG said:"A delayed game is only delayed until it's released. A game that is rushed is rushed forever." Or something like that.
I though it was something like "a delayed game is late only when its released, but a bad game is a bad game forever." If not, then that sums it up nicely. In a way, I get the feeling that there are people in NOA that would really like to make changes and actually compete better, but NCL holds a tight reign over them. I say they let them go at it like Sega of America did back in the 16-bit days.

They don't do it nearly enough.
ok, so it was bait. And you all took a bite
Seriously, I know the comment was taken out of context.
And I still can't see how Revolution will make any impact at all.
The only thing that's got me pumped is VGA out.
It will just be the same old Nintendo, same old games, better graphics card.
Sony has the whole next gen console arena sewn up unless they do something fatally wrong.
Guess it's wait till E3 all over again.
And YES, Miyamoto's interviews have been boring for a long time, as he never reveals what is happening at Nintendo, rightfully so. . . there are compeditors in this world
. . . but hey tell us something new for a change. It's all the same which was said at E3.
You had your chance Fishie.
Very generic questions asked I'm afraid, and you were owned by a horse.

Perhaps this is because NINTENDO HAVEN'T SHOWN ANYTHING ABOUT IT YET? Yep, let's not even give companies the chance to show of their goods before making our minds up.

This is too funny..if you know anything of what Nintendo has been saying about the next generation, you'd not be making such assumptions. The one thing they HAVE said is that they CAN'T simply rely on better graphics alone. I expect at the very least a significantly different way of controlling games that what Nintendo have done before (if not also Sony & Microsoft). That alone would be a great differentiating factor between this gen and the next.

That's work too, i've always said they don't need to make a GTA clone. Just make more games that are simply made for adult gamers and make their userbase bigger. I'd say buy a few teams this generation and have them set up just for creating those types of games, Nintendo never has to make them just let their 2nd parties do it.

well, I think the GTA style games makes for a pretty diluted experience especialy now the me too clones have surfaced. Its definitely on the way out so I'll take whatever fills its shoes
My reply to this matter, has taken from NPD July Hardware numbers and some interesting facts thread...
People aren't idiots, they just know what they want. They want games that PS2 and X-Box offers. So they buy those consoles. If Nintendo wants to sell consoles, they need to be competitive. But I don't think that's what they want. They want to keep the market share they already have by not risking much. That's clever but not as lucrative as it could be.Grubdog said:

I guess GTA really is the next Pokemon. The game that's so popular that haters keep saying with each new version that it's on its way out despite it keeping its popularity with each version.
I think that popular games are never on their way out, but developers need to add important gameplay elements to justify the new version... Nintendo has always done that with Mario, but not really with Pokémon. Look at Konami with Metal Gear Solid or Capcom that finally learned with Resident Evil Ø or 4...SolidSnakex said:
