Shigeru Miyamoto on how Nintendo hires designers with deep, wide interests outside of games

"More and more I am trying to let the younger generation fully take the reins," Mr. Miyamoto said.

This younger generation has been carefully chosen; Mr. Miyamoto says he wants people who are more likely to create new kinds of play, rather than merely aiming to perfect current ones.

"I always look for designers who aren't super-passionate game fans," Mr. Miyamoto said. "I make it a point to ensure they're not just a gamer, but that they have a lot of different interests and skill sets." Some of the company's current stars had no experience playing video games when they were hired.

Are 3D platformers more like adventure/open world exploration games? If not, what makes a 3D platformer different?

Posted: 29 Dec 2017 01:57 PM PST

Born out of a really interesting discussion with a friend. The "3D platformer" genre got its namesake back when 3D gaming was still trying to iron out all its kinks. Platforming's still a focus in these types of games nowadays (Super Mario Odyssey, Yooka-Laylee & A Hat in Time), but my friend argued that they feel more like adventure ones (Zelda & Assassin's Creed, for example), as they have major focuses in exploration and experiencing the environments they have to offer.

What do you think?
