Miyamoto Supervising Mario and Sonic

Wii

It has been confirmed that the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto will be around during the developement of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.

While Miyamoto won't be in the director's seat, he will be there to guide and discuss the developement of the title.

"He's joining the discussion, it's a relationship - he's not directing the game, he's just there in the discussions. Mario is there so Miyamoto is there; it's a natural thing," said Laurent Fischer, marketting director for Nintendo Europe, in an article on GamesIndustry.biz.
