Mario Creator Wants to Make a First-Person Shooter

In a new interview, Mario and Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that he’s interested in making a first-person shooter but doesn’t have enough time.

"I actually do kind of want to make a first-person shooter," Miyamoto told Kotaku, "but I don't have time."

According to Miyamoto, the game wouldn’t be violent but would instead be focused on the idea of exploring an environment in a 3D space.

"Rather than necessarily the question of 'What kind of weapon do I have?' in a first person shooter or 'What kind of effect does that have on an enemy?', I think that the structure of a first-person shooter is something that's very interesting," he said. "Having that 3D space that in theory you are in and being able to look around and explore that—particularly being able to do that in conjunction with another person—is very interesting."

Miyamoto added that Wii U’s support of two GamePads could make a first-person shooter “very fun,” suggesting that two people viewing a game’s world through GamePads “could create a very fun and unique gameplay experience” if they’re in the same room.

Miyamoto most recently worked on Pikmin 3 and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, two titles shown off last week during E3. In addition, he was said to be working on an all-new original game earlier this year.
