Sony's PlayStation Vita isn't a "very strong product," legendary Nintendo video games creator Shigeru Miyamoto has told EDGE magazine.
Asked what he thought of the handheld, Miyamoto said: "I think I really can't say."
However, he went go on to offer a rather damming critique.
"It's obviously a very hi-spec machine and you can do lots of things with it, but I don't really see the combination of software and hardware that really makes a very strong product," said Miyamoto.
In a new interview with IGN, Shigeru Miyamoto talks about designing Super Nintendo World, his opinion on video game stories, and why Nintendo is more than just a game company now.
At least the onecin hollywood is kond of a let down...too small, 1 ride, and 1 restaurant...lots of cool moving things, but once you see it thats it...kids could have fun if the lines dont ruin it.
Mario hasn't always been with Peach, we know. But there was a time he was and also with Daisy at the same time, Luigi's love. This is that time Mario cheated on Peach with Daisy.
In an interview years ago, the Goldeneye 007 director revealed that Miyamoto and Nintendo were not at all pleased with the in-game violence of the James Bond game, so they suggested some ways to tone it down.
well, I have a feeling we'll be coming back to those days with how everyone is offended by something...
Meanwhile Ganondorf throws up blood, and Link then goes to impale him in the throat as Ganon.
Sadly, he is spot on.
I bought the PSVita at launch, got Uncharted, Stardust Delta, Motorstorm RC and Hustle Kings on it. All clones from its bigger PS3 brother pretty much.
The only real platform defining 'exclusive' games are Escape Plan and Unit 13 pretty much. Where Escape Plan is the game that has the most defining looks, feels and gameplay, something like Patapon and Loco Roco did for PSP.
And even then, Patapon and Loco Roco were great, great games. Escape Plan is just alright. Didn't even had the slightest feeling I should buy it for 13 Euro.
Sony has to step its game up, fast. And I expect them to have to drop the price like Nintendo did with 3DS to even get people interested a bit. It could be a tad above 3DS's price, like 189 or 199 with a memcard included. Just to be under the magic psychological price level. I don't care if Playstation fanboys say its worth that 250 bucks, fact is peopledon't want it for that price. Same as they didn't want to pay it for 3DS.
Is all im gonna say.
But really, it's your opinion and i respect that.
I think that at the moment, the lack of software and the uncertain software future, for the average consumer makes Vita quite a weak product. To me it's fine. I have 5 great Vita games, and a tonne of PSP games on my memory card, and looking forward to Gravity Rush, Dragons Crown, Persona 4 Golden. But that's just me, and they're niche titles.
We'll find out how Sony is going to answer this at E3. Really looking forward to it.
Yea i think the vita is pretty cool and i had to have it for uncharted but it has alot of things thats just not. Its missing features that sould of been there at release and it needs a better software line up. To me it's like sony took a step back. It should play all psp games and don't even get me started on ps1 support. You should be able to check your vita trophies on the ps3. These are just a few simple things that should of been there at release and i believe would of helped it a great deal. Most of the time i don't even feel connected on the vita.I would love to see something at the top of it saying i'm sighed in. Sorry for the rant guys but most of you who own one know what i'm talking about.
