Miyamoto Discusses Wii U’s Successor and the Evolution of Mario
An excerpt from an interview with ABC.
“Since we first created Mario, people have compared him to Mickey Mouse… I’ve always said Mickey Mouse evolved with each evolution in animation. You saw Mickey Mouse each step of the way. From early on, I wanted Mario to be that character in the digital world, so that with each digital evolution, he was there to usher in the next era…I think that maybe when we release the next hardware system, you can look forward to seeing Mario take on a new role or in a new game.”
See, now I fear for Mario. I probably shouldn’t, but I do. Change is scary when it comes to video games. You though. You’ll probably love it.
You loved Super Mario Sunshine, didn’t you? That’s cool. Me? Stagnation is something I’m against wholeheartedly…when it comes to everything but Mario. [❤]
