Miyamoto’s secret hobby? Measuring things!
In another episode of Nintendo legends Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata’s chats, this time about Wii Fit Plus, Miyamoto revealed, to Iwata’s surprise, his affection with measuring things.
Says Miyamoto-san:
“I’ve always enjoyed guessing the lengths of objects, which is why I carry a measuring tape around with me. For instance, I might guess that the table in front of us is about 1.2 metres long. Then I’d actually measure it with the measuring tape to check. If I got it right, I’d think: “I’m on form today!” But if I missed the mark by a long way, I’d think: “I’ve been slipping a bit recently!”
Interesting. No really, interesting.
