What? People didn't have money. It had nothing to do with fun. 2009 was a bumpin' year for fun.
Miyamoto you crazy!

This coming from the man who created the fastest selling single-system game in history. But yeah, overall, 2009 did kinda suck.
@ Matt Dusza - New Super Mario Bros. Wii? It only sold ten million copies and caused Wii shortages into March.
"2009 certainly wasn't swamped with hits like 2008 and 2007..."
Man, what 2009 where you in? I'm still playing catch up with the great games from 2009. And the strong start of 2010 isn't helping matters.
I can see where Miyamoto might be coming from assuming he's only talking about Nintendo. Aside from NSMB Wii, what else did they even have? At best, a repackage of Metroid.

Exactly. Wasn't 2009 the year that actually had people complaining that there were too many hits?

Hey, economy 101:
If you don't have a job, then you don't have money. You can't waste the money you don't have on games.

We had some amazing games in 2009, I am not saying that isn't the case. But I don't think we were as saturated with them as we were in previous years.
What 2009 was he in, there's still stuff I want for my PS3,DS etc, I just can't find the time to play it.
I was going to disagree with Miyamoto, and then I realized that a lot of the high profile games were pushed back to 2010 so fair enough.
That being said, I doubt that gaming is recession-proof, but it is resilient. Gambling learned the same lesson in the last few years.

He's right, 2009's Wii games weren't fun enough. But that's not isolated to 2009 and the other systems has a lot of very fun games.
Wow, 2009 was a banner year for great games...
Uncharted 2, God of War Collection, Killzone 2, Batman AA, Ratched & Clank: ACIT, etc., etc.
And going into Q1 2010, I can barely find time to play all the games...
He's got to be talking about the Wii alone b/c the PS3 has never had a better year. I"m sure the 360 is the same.

Yeah, I agree. Granted, Nintendo only put out 1 quality title last year (excluding the Metroid Prime Trilogy), so they did nothing to help the problem.
2009 was the best year I've seen in a long, LONG time. Demon's Souls and Uncharted 2 assured me of that, but there were tons of other games as well - some of which were already mentioned by posters above.
2010 is shaping up to be pretty disappointing, for me personally. Aside from Tatsunoko vs Capcom, 3D Dot Game Hero and ModNation Racers, there's really nothing that interests me.

It sounds like they realized that they've sold a console to everyone and their grandma without putting out games.....
Well if you needed any further proof that Nintendo is living in a different universe to the rest of us there you have it. Clearly the man never played AC2, Bayonetta or ODST.
This year I broke my record for most time spent with one game. Previously was San Andreas (120 hours). Now, it's Killzone 2 (300+)
Miyamoto is douchebag that loves to crap all over someone else's work. This is just the latest. He ragged on Donkey Kong Country, he ragged on Halo, and now he's ragging on the whole industry.
Personally, I thought a lot of 2009 games were great & 2010 has already been great.

Miyamoto is kinda like Paul McCartney...did some great stuff in the old days, but hasn't really pulled out anything of note in years. Don't point to the new Mario game, because a remake of a DS game which is a remake of a 20 year old game isn't stunningly original.
So when he says that 2009 was a shit year for games, I look at the pile of gaming awesome that I haven't even been able to play yet because I've yet to work through the stack of other awesome games & tell him to STFU. Then I get smacked down by Nintendo fanboys. Same as any other day, really.

You really have no idea what you're talking about do you? Just the fact that you called NSMB Wii nothing more than a glorified DS remake proved that. Next time you decide to bash a game, please play it first.
On topic, I won't deny that 2009 was a slow year for Nintendo. I know for a fact that I didn't buy that many games. Well, enough to keep the thing from collecting dust (as so many Wii owners claim to happen) anyway. But looking at 2010, I think this'll be a much better year for Nintendo. I hope so anyways.

Miyamoto's point has been well and truly missed by most people on here. "Fun" is something that can be enjoyed by anybody and everybody regardless of background, age or unbringing. "Good game" is something totally different all together.
Reel off as many lists of Teen/18+ glossy shooters, racers and action titles as you like. They are great games, but by no means a universal definition of fun.

Confusing statement. 'Not fun enough?'
Indeed, and fun comes in different forms and in different places. Despite the recession, I sampled plenty of fine games on all formats last year, yes some by Nintendo too. Couldn't tell it was a recession year at all.

I can only agree with him. The last year was a flop... a big flop with a lot of failures (and I'm not talking about the Sonic game).I hope that this year will be better, but even then, GOD3 showed me the opposite -_-;
