Here's a weird story that may very well be true. The Times UK newspaper reports a rumor that game designer extraordinaire Shigeru Miyamoto isn't allowed to discuss his hobbies with the press, based on information given them by an anonymous inside Nintendo source. The logic is that since he bases all of his games on his pastimes, information about what he's doing could give the competition a heads-up regarding what Nintendo's next big game - or console - is going to be.
... According to sources at Nintendo, the games designer has been banned by the company from speaking publicly about his hobbies.
It's not that they are naughty, illegal or even nerdish, it's just that any glimpse inside his head could be worth billions. Particularly so now: the Wii still sells strongly around the world, but its successor is the talking point. Unfortunately, the only place where the discussion has any grounding is inside Mr Miyamoto's head.
