Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto wants Nintendo to be completely left out of whatever ‘console war’ still exists.
In an interview withFamitsu, based on DeepL andGoogleTranslate translations, Miyamoto says that the newly opened Nintendo Museum in Kyoto was dreamt up to “preserve all of Nintendo’s past assets and have people understand what Nintendo is through them.” Both employees and “three generations of parents and children” can learn all there is to know about the storied company, and Miyamoto hopes it’ll stop them from getting dragged into console tribalism.
“I hope that they will understand Nintendo and not get involved in what is sometimes called the ‘game war,’ such as high specs and how to improve the performance of game consoles,” he says.
“Nintendo will continue to make products that are unique to Nintendo using various technologies available in the world today,” he continues, “and we will continue to create not only games but also various entertainment content.”
