In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned DEFCON.

Do you ever think about challenging yourself to design a game that addresses a real-world topic or carries a deeper social message?
Maybe if I were to come across a problem in my life that affected me I would think about that. A game like that would be very interesting to make. At the Independent Games Festival at the last GDC [the Game Developer's Conference] I saw a game, Defcon, which is about thermonuclear war — the whole world is destroyed. That's a very powerful message to put in a game.

Is this good news for those of us looking for DSCON or WIICON? Probably not, but we can always hope.

Very nice. Good to see IV have inspired him to make games based on real world issues like vacating seats for the elderly and paying taxes.

I wonder what a game would be like, calculating taxes and trying to get the numbers right without an in-game calculator !

On-Topic; Yaaay
