The Nintendo Philosophy: Putting Fun First

Nintendo's approach to game design is centered around putting fun first, which sets them apart from other game designers. While others may focus on creating games based on existing categories or popular elements, Nintendo's team led by Miyamoto is on a quest to find fun and build everything else around it. They prioritize the core mechanic that brings joy and ensure that the game remains fun and highly replayable. This approach is completely different from how others design games. Nintendo's founder, Yamauchi, recognized the importance of talented individuals who have the ability to develop games that everyone desires, even without playing any games himself. His intuitive understanding of these principles has not only shaped the video game industry but also influenced all technology industries.
