Nintendo’s creator of Metroid Other M explains how he creates both serious and comic games
It’s a little funny that the producer of the serious game Metroid Other M is also behind the comic expression of Nintendo’s WarioWare series of handheld games. In a talk before hundreds of game developers today at the Game Developers Conference, Sakamoto talked about his career making Metroid games for Nintendo since 1986. The games, which star the heroine Samus with a signature “arm cannon,” are known for their serious dramatic style and shooting action. But Sakamoto said he also loves to make people laugh with the goofy WarioWare games. That diversity of games has helped Sakamoto stay creative over the decades. The room was crowded, of course, because Sakamoto’s games have been great commercial successes, selling millions upon millions of games on both handheld and home console platforms over the years.
