A few more details from Miyamoto's keynote speech at the 2018 Computer Entertainment Developers Conference

Earlier today we had shared some details from Shigeru Miyamoto's keynote speech at the 2018 Computer Entertainment Developers Conference. Now we have a few more tidbits from that same event, courtesy of the Wall Street Journal's Takashi Mochizuki and Kotaku.

- harsh opinions on your creations can be used to fuel you, and you should try respond to them with a positive attitude
- new ideas often come with challenges that block them from being implemented right away
- store those ideas in your mind, and revisit them when you're relaxing in order to clearly sort out a solution
- Miyamoto was once asked about bundling 5 games with a console; an idea in which he turned down
- he fired back with a suggestion saying that perhaps players should be able to purchase 5 games and get the console for free
- Nintendo's former president Yamauchi used to say players buy consoles to play games, not because they want a console

- player creativity when play games can make the experience much more fun
- this is an idea Nintendo put to great use in Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- game companies no longer need to advertise games with just traditional methods, as today there are plenty of new methods
- Miyamoto points out that smartphones have lead to an increase in people carrying around games in their pockets
- he also joked that the DS was doing this before the smartphone boom
- Miyamoto finds that his game ideas come to him when he's in relaxed moments
