Miyamoto: Nintendo will move with technology

Shigeru Miyamoto at an event roundtable in New York yesterday informed the other attendees that he wants Nintendo to take advantage of technology as it comes along. The Wii may not currently support HD graphics, but Miyamoto believes that in the future Nintendo will be in step with technology updates.

When asked what he felt about HD graphics, Miyamoto's reply was as follows,

Miyamoto said: "I don't think there's anything wrong with pretty graphics, and if I'm a consumer that has an HDTV, I'd want to be able to play my games with nice graphics too. And I think as we've seen the penetration rates for HDTV increase, we're going to see video games and Nintendo's games move along in step with the progression of technology."

Miyamoto continued; "But what I don't think is necessarily true is that the graphics itself is something that's going to make the gameplay experience better. So we're still going to focus on the gameplay, but we'll take advantage of the technology as it comes out."
