Nintedojo’s mailbag for July 31st:

I would ask him for a sequel to Kid Icarus, and for his X-Box Live gamer-tag.

Mr. Miyamoto..do you ever feel trapped by being a Nintendo icon and legend? Ever felt like opening up your own studio or doing something else.There must be alot of pressure to be this legend where people hang off your every word and expect you to be apart of Nintendo forever.Are you truely happy with this or do you ever feel like a victim of your own success?

-Sean

Would you even do a more adult game, perhaps something in the genre of a survival horror?

-Pete

A suggestion to Miyamoto:

I would prefer a longer, 2D platformer on a console, like Super mario World+super Mario Bros. 3 + something new (with powerups and secret paths)… only, new… of course… than a shorter arcade-style game that can be finished in a half hour. Although these games are fun, they are more of minigames- fun for getting high scores during a boring TV show.

If you Get my drift, I prefer 2D to 3d, and probably always will. Make them longer with out manditory collection.

-PsychoWiLL

Was Miyamoto shrooming when he created Mario?

-Syji

Ryan Heath responds: There are quite a number of Nintendojo readers out there who can’t seem to get enough Miyamoto. It amazed me the variety of random questions and suggestions you had for the man. While I can’t possibly respond to all of them, I can answer your question, Pete, about Miyamoto doing a survival horror game. He already did a survival horror game: Luigi’s Mansion. Well, it’s not exactly survival horror, but it’s probably as close as Miyamoto will ever get to the genre.
