Miyamoto 'Banned' From Talking About Hobbies 256
walshy007 writes "After Shigeru Miyamoto developed a love of puzzles, the "brain-training" software that has proved to be an international "killer application" on the Nintendo DS console was born.
He became interested in taking more exercise, and Wii Fit was created. He took up music lessons, and Wii Music was the result.
Now, according to sources at Nintendo, the games designer has been banned by the company from speaking publicly about his hobbies."

Depends on if they are working on a Wii BDSM game.

So the next game will be about somebody who has been banned from talking by his corporate overlords.

I'm barred from talking about my hobbies by my employer as well.
Might have something to do with all the razor blades and dismembered animal parts.

I don't think a game based on Hobbits would do that well.

Clearly Nintendo is looking to base their future games on his personal interests:
"Super Eating Out Mario Bros"
"Wacky Workout"
"The Chronicles of Shopping"
"Watching Reruns on TV Fiesta"
"World of Internet Porn Surfing"

What if his hobbies are running around Tokyo carjacking, beating up ho's, and shooting wildly?

And here I thought that it is the next logical evolutionary step for the Wii.

I guess wii Bukakke didn't quite catch on as well as the other Japanese classics did.
I swear, I thought the box said Buck Cake!

I just want to take this opportunity to point out that the Wikipedia article on Bukkake explicitly states that it "may require cleanup" [wikipedia.org] to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.
That is all.

It's amazing what people will put up with if they're paid enough. I image that Mr Miyamoto is very well paid by Nintendo, so much in fact that the outrageous imposition of not being able to discuss his hobbies with people is bearable.
So for now on, he will post as AC?

The size of Wiimote, and the fact that it does vibrate, is a pretty good adhoc vibrator...Except that it's not water proof.

The next step is that Nintendo allows Miyamoto's hobbies to "accidentally" get leaked in order to get Microsoft and Sony to waste all their time.
Word on the street is that he's taken up knitting, and he's started a rock garden. Run with that, Xbox dev team!

To be comparable with the jesus phone they would have to cripple the range and make it drop out regularly.
