Nintendo Mario, Zelda creator wants to make first-person shooter

Is Miyamoto trying to make something immersive? Not sure if he's able to, but it might be interesting, assuming he ever goes through with it.

 

It will be a Zelda shooter but instead of guns and bullets, we get to use fancy bows and arrows. There is a problem though, Nintendo has already made a fps. Ever heard of the game known as Metroid?

 

Normally I would blow off an idea like this, but it's Shigeru Miyamoto. I will listen and I will take it seriously.

 

...

 

I doubt it'd be anything like COD. I could see potential in it all, as long as it has a good premise and good gameplay

 

Yeah, uh, WAT.

But then I read the article and it made a lot of sense. Creating an immersive atmosphere from that perspective seems like something Miyamoto would want to try. And it could certainly be the case that he saw the work of Retro and found himself eager to deliver that sort of experience personally. I didn't play much of Prime, but one thing that really floored me was the environmental design. It's definitely made for first-person; it would seem so much more distant otherwise.
