Miyamoto ziet geen mogelijkheden in digitale distributie van games

Shigeru Miyamoto, befaamd videogamemaker van onder andere Mario en Donkey Kong, gaf in een interview aan dat hij geen mogelijkheden ziet in de digitale distributie van Nintendo games. Miyamoto vindt het zeer belangrijk dat men kan beschikken over fysieke media zoals schijfjes of de GameBoy cartridges.

“Personally, I’m one of those guys who, even if I have all the songs from iTunes, I want the CD as well. I feel more reassured with that physical media. Entertainment is something that will not just become digital. If I look at Wii MotionPlus, this is something that you’re not doing via digital distribution. The thing for us is we really don’t see the future of video games being merely confined to digital distribution or moving solely or even to a majority of our products being distributed that way.”
