Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Is Miyamoto losing his touch?

How much can we credit Miyamoto for Nintendo's latest failures? Because he's not the designer or director of most of the games from the later years. In Star Fox Zero, for example, he acted as a producer, and "Producer" is such a general position. He may very well have little to do with the game itself.

But who was it that decided to incorporate motion controls into a Star Fox game? Sales numbers show that it's officially killed the franchise.

Sales numbers show that decision killed the franchise?  Not the lack of multiplayer, or lack of content?  I'm curious to see how sales numbers showed that.

Has anyone here ever even met Miyamoto before?

I have not, and why do you contnuously ask this of us? Are you implying that our status of having/not having met the man determine how valid our perspectives are?

I ask this because modern-day software development doesn't involve one-man teams. If Miyamoto were a comedian, author, or singer, I would be more willing to discuss whether he's lost his touch or not. He's not a one-man team, he works at Nintendo which is staffed by thousands of people.

I don't know what Miyamoto does, never did: maybe his involvement is the problem, maybe all he does is lend his name to Nintendo's products, maybe he's an "idea's man" and gives these ideas to others to screw up. I have no clue.

I'd much rather discuss the product itself which is available on store shelves than the work of someone who works behind closed doors.

It's the worst selling game in the series since Star Fox Command.

Thats not an answer to his question and your statement makes no sense.

People with high responibility have to live with that. That's why they have a big role in a company, because they are the ones who have to ensure that the company will be in good shape.

 

 



I'd say so.

Is someone who said the Paper Mario games don't need a story and should limit their characters losing his touch?  Yes...yes he is.

Behold Miyamoto's brilliance



Miyamoto is 63 years old. Im not sure what people are expecting of him... AAA every year? He is past his prime. If he is able to crank out a AAA title every now and then, treat it like a bonus.

If Nintendo fans are counting on Miyamoto to resurrect Nintendo. You guys are doomed.

This image makes me mentally depressed.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

He still is very talented he is just out of touch with gaming right now, kinda like nintendo.

Edit: that paper mario pic makes me sad

Is there really such thing as a age limit or something like that for creating or overseeing development of video games?
