But, because of the limitations on how quickly those scenes changed, we weren't able to. The other thing, is it would have been nice to have had bigger enemies in the game, but the Famicom/NES hardware wasn't capable of doing that. Certainly, with hardware nowadays you can do that and we have done that, but of course nowadays creating bigger enemies takes a lot of effort.|name= Shigeru Miyamoto|url= https://kotaku.com/shigeru-miyamotos-bad-game-514017583|title= Shigeru Miyamoto's 'Bad' Game}}</ref>
