Dylan Cuthbert on Miyamoto: “slightly more friendly Steve Jobs but just as cutting”

Shigeru Miyamoto is a terrific showman, but when at work at Nintendo he can be “like a slightly more friendly Steve Jobs but just as cutting” according to Q-Games founder Dylan Cuthbert. Q-Games and Dylan have worked closely with Nintendo on most of the Star Fox games.

The quote comes from a Q&A hosted by the GAME Facebook page, Cuthbert explained that “his private face is different to his public face”.

“His style of chasing ideas and cutting through bulls*** is brilliant. Internally he’s kind of like a slightly more friendly Steve Jobs, but just as cutting.”

While this might sound negative, Miyamoto himself has previously mentioned that he likes to keep a close eye on other Nintendo teams development and that he’s famous for ‘upending the tea table’ and coming in and changing things if things aren’t going well.

Cuthbert also was asked about how he might use the Wii U GamePad with Starfox and while he does have some its entire up to Nintendo where the series goes from here. “I know what I’d try and do with that tech, but at the end of the day, the ball’s in Nintendo’s court.”

“I like to work on a variety of games, or life gets a little boring! Star Fox is a great world and series of characters, and one day I’d definitely like to go back to it and expand it further.”

Star Fox fans you might be waiting a little while longer for a fresh adventure.
