Super Mario creator and current General Manager of Nintendo EAD, Shigeru Miyamoto admits that the company is at an all-time low, but he still believes that there might still be a silver lining to that.
"Certainly we've had tough times before, but the numbers have never been as bad as they are now," Miyamoto admitted. "In my years with Nintendo what I've found is that it's always in those difficult times that we have a tendency to find that next new thing. And I think that maybe we're seeing a little bit of that."
Nintendo recently launched Mario Kart 8 in one of the most successful game launches in the company's history. Moreover, Nintendo has announced its own line of Amiibo figurines and showcased and impressive first footage of Zelda Wii U showing off its wide open world. But that's not all, Miyamoto assures.
"We also have younger members of the team now, and they're wanting to create their own games and have their own ideas," he said. "Splatoon is a good example of that. That's being made by some very young members of the group. They're having a lot of freedom to create the game that they want."
