Hoping it's a shit translation, because no matter what angle you approach it from he's wrong and it lacks insight into both industries.

If he's referring to physical media/hardware, both industries have degrading physical mediums. Digitizing old film is essentially the same thing as game emulation, it's not the same experience but it's good enough for 90% of people.

If he's talking about digital availability in an age of updates and digital content potentially being lost this is a huge issue in the film industry too. A fuck ton of films can't be "legally" watched anymore and plenty of films are exclusive to digital storefronts with no option to own.

Not to mention how fucking huge of a deal lost media is in the film industry. Taking a random example, look how much of early Doctor Who is still lost media.

If he's talking about sequels/remakes eclipsing originals this just isn't the case. Look at how many people still think OoT is the best Zelda game and prefer the N64 version to the remake.

This is a fucking grim statement coming from Miyamoto that displays surface level insight into both film and videogames.
