If you saw the beginning of Nintendo's E3 2012 press conference in Los Angeles, CA, it may have been obvious that the first presenter was all about just having fun.
The creator of game franchises such as Mario, Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda exuded fun when he appeared on stage at E3. This is in reference to none other than Shigeru Miyamoto who has been called the Stephen Spielberg as well as the Walt Disney of video games.

When questioned about the proliferation of guns and other violence in video games, Miyamoto's response was he finds its difficult to see how the younger generation can intereact with each other and play games like that.
On the topic of competition, rather than seeing companies combating against each other, he stated he would like companies to show the world how to have fun. With over three decades and counting in the video game industry and with the WII U being the talk of E3, looks like Shigeru Miyamoto has shown that he knows how to not only bring on the fun, but how to have fun himself in the world of video games.
