Guerrilla Games has always been one of Sony’s most important developers, but with the release of Horizon: Zero Dawn its stocks have risen dramatically. The studio is now one of the most recognised games companies in the world, working on one of the most promising new intellectual properties. The problem? It needs more space.
"We have no intention of expanding" - Miyamoto
Feels like a missed opportunity, since Nintendo is loved all around the world, a museum in USA / CAN / UK / AUS / etc. would always be packed with fans.
Kyoto is already overrun by tourists as it is. It would probably make sense if Japan finds a way to spread tourism out over more locations instead of just the Kansai region (Osaka, Kyoto) and Tokyo, to both alleviate the burden of tourism on those two area, while bringing more interest and thus tourism money to other areas.
Of course, that’s not something Nintendo needs to concern itself with right now, and it makes sense that they stick with 1 museum for the time-being, and in their home-city of Kyoto.
I’m also not sure how big the appeal for a Nintendo museum would be elsewhere in the world. Many tourists flock to Japan BECAUSE of the (pop-) culture, so they are interested in anime, videogames, etc. So Pokemon Centers and Nintendo Stores are very popular, always bustling with tourists who spend a lot of money there, and obviously a Nintendo museum in Kyoto then makes perfect sense.
But generally speaking, folks don’t visit a Paris or New York for it’s pop-culture, so a Nintendo museum would make less sense. Not saying a video-games museum wouldn’t/couldn’t work, I believe it could, but I think in the west it would make more sense to open a museum with a broader spectrum of videogame-exhibits, so not ‘just’ a Nintendo museum, but something much wider in terms of scope …

Music to our ears.
“There is a lot of talk about A.I., for example. When that happens, everyone starts to go in the same direction, but that is where Nintendo would rather go in a different direction."
Good on Nintendo for not chasing the next big thing.
Always? I feel the last time off the top of my head that they were innovative was the 3DS/Wii era. They are very successful at what they do but I wouldn't say they are as innovative as they used to be.
Your opinion is correct. There's no denying Nintendo's influence on the handheld market that's paved the way for the ROG, Steam Deck, MSI Claw etc but apart from the dock to get a small jump in power, it wasn't really revolutionary, even back when it launched. It was a more refined concept of the Wii U which again wasn't new or groundbreaking back then either.
He was saying that's what they strive for and that is a fact.do they always hit the mark?. no but it's in they're design philosophy all the same.
LOL simply because they don't want to invest in it and stick to their outdated approach. See the next pokemon game on Switch 2 will look like something that should come out during the PS3 gen
So a custom art style vs GTA trilogy style mistakes through their games
I'll take the art style thanks
Nice. Do these guys have two teams or...?
Would be nice for the other team to do a reboot of Killzone or an open world fantasy RPG like Elder Scrolls
Killzone would have to be rebooted and give the main character a personality like they did with Aloy. Maybe someone who isn't a soldier like if they have the Helghast invading Vekta/Earth in this reboot where they strike first they could have some Dad in a suburban estate where he has to fight back along with the neighbourhood resistance group as he protects his family...give it a Resistance 3 feel to it. Would be better then the typical "I'm a soldier...I'm fighting in the war...I'm a badass from the get go...oh by the way I have a typical shaven head space marine grunt look"
Next gen Killzone would be amazing. I just hope it's not rushed like Shadow Fall, even though I still loved it.
Damn they just keep getting bigger
Great news. I cant wait for HZD2 but another new game in addition to the sequel would be great
Happy that a GB studio remains strong 💪
