Cowgod, did Shigeru Miyamoto “write code” for early Mario and Zelda?

Date: January 21st, 2026 11:02 PM Author: tan menage “Writing code” is purely an obsession of western devs, particularly pre-gamergate Nerd devs. Because those devs are extremely Nerd-dominated, everything is about the code. You can’t get a western game made to begin with with fewer than 300 people if the devs aren’t Engineering obsessed.
To the 90s/00s PC dev, “writing code” is everything. You were worthless to the whole endeavor if you couldn’t Engineer shit. No mind paid to the actual player who had to navigate the wretched worlds they created. Zero consideration for the fact that they’d get Lost basically forever playing Turok or whatever. Anyway these devs were 100% right to keep the workplace pure and Nerdy as fuck. Because we all know what happens when the gatekeeping stops. Budgets explode and quality fucking craters. But anyway this is why there’s enough of a fixation and why you’d ask to begin with if miyamoto wrote code. Japan is stuck in the 20th century in a lot of ways for better or worse. This idea of “I’m a Nerd. I Engineer things,” Clique based bs doesn’t exist there. A salaryman shows up every day. He does what the company asks of him. He’s not like “Engineering, champ. Headhunters have me on speed dial. $1,000,000k, champ,” He has no ego about it. He’s a lifer. He probably makes like 35k USD with a 135 IQ. Also the average IQ in white collar Tokyo or Kyoto when you step into an office of any kind is probably like 120 or something. When the average is as high as it is, “writing code” isn’t as much of a flex. This is just my opinion which I do NOT state as fact. Discuss.

How they figured out the "feel" of Super Mario Brothers controls must have taken a lot of coding |

Date: January 26th, 2026 10:35 PM Author: tan menage In all likelihood, he probably didn’t, and if he did it’s not a big deal like it is here. It’s not the Carmack thing where the whole thing is an Engineering exercise. Carmack and his ilk need to gatekeep bc there are so many leftist incompetent Losers in the west who will hire 300 of their friends and bankrupt you. Japan doesnt have that problem. When you don’t have to filter out retards you don’t need to be like “Engineering, champ.” Also, miyamoto got hired at Nintendo bc his dad knew Yamauchi. He didn’t ace Engineering OCI. I think Miyamoto is in the sort of boomer “manager” caste that existed in the 20th century. Like how Dilbert was managed by a clueless bald boomer MBA in 1990 who probably wasn’t an Engineer. Kojima too for that matter. Probably not. But if he did it wouldnt be a huge deal that he built his whole identity around. When Losers don’t exist you don’t need to prove you’re a Nerd and not a Loser. Every guy in Japan is just a Japanese guy. No Clique.

Date: January 26th, 2026 11:34 PM Author: Shivering scourge upon the earth afaik, miyamoto is more of an “ideas” guy. with mario, for instance, he envisioned an “athletic” game, where the player avatar would run and jump. some other, nameless japanese salarymen then took that idea and developed the characters and play mechanics and music and code and other minor details. for zelda, he thought “it was fun being a kid running around in the woods. what if we made a game that was like an adventure?” more than a dozen masterpieces later, the results speak for themselves. miyamoto is essentially a kaiju boomer.
