Dear Reader:
Warren Spector became awe-struck when meeting Miyamoto
“I’m trying to put my own spin on this whole thing - I’m never going to be as good as Shigeru Miyamoto at making Miyamoto games, but I’d like to think he’s not as good at making my kind of games either. I basically drooled on the guy at E3 when I met him. I couldn’t ask a single question. I carry his business card with me at all times now. It’s in my wallet and will be there until the day I die. I really did just gush over him, honestly. I tried to thank him for all the wonderful games he’s given me and how inspiring I find his work. We commiserated a little bit about how the wireless controls were kinda jacked at the Nintendo press conference but that was it really.” - Warren Spector
I’m glad to hear that even bigwigs in the game industry fall apart when meeting Miyamoto. I didn’t want to be the only one!
