Mario creator and gaming legend Shigeru Miyamoto has weighed in on how much is too much for playing video games. Speaking to NPR, Miyamoto said playing video games a lot is not a bad thing, but only playing video games might not be the most advisable thing to do.
“I always say, if it’s really nice outside, you should go play outside,” he said.
He gives this advice to regular gamers and game designers, too. Getting out into the real world can help a person get more personal experience, which can then be funneled into other parts of their life, he said.
