Nintendo LifeOne industry leader never a video game released on a Nintendo platform is US developer and publisher Valve.
Despite this, the company’s founder, Gabe Newell, is still a big fan of Mario’s creator. In a recent interview with outlet 1 News, Newell was asked if he still regularly plays games himself and he takes over a short break between conversations. Apex Legends and Cyberpunk 2077 Shigeru Miyamoto to praise.
“Playing Miyamoto’s games, it’s like one, it’s a lot of fun, but I can not think of one of his games I’ve ever played that did not make me better as a game developer.”
A few years ago, Gabe’s son revealed how he and his father actually visited and played Nintendo’s headquarters in Japan. Super Mario Galaxy along Miyamoto. The two legends of the video games at the time apparently talked about a ‘joint project’, but ‘it was super comfortable’ and in the end nothing came of it.
Newell is clearly not the first sensational developer to pay tribute to Nintendo’s most famous employee – even Nintendo’s own employees are still excited and inspired by him.
Gabe is best known for the Half life series and its digital distribution game service Steam, and is currently living in New Zealand due to the state of the pandemic in America.
