No I credit Sakamoto as the director of the series acknowledging his contribution to the series most people don't credit Yokoi at all like you did earlier.

I did credit Yokoi, he was the producer.  And a co-creator, as is Sakamoto.

You compared Sakamoto to Aounuma and specifically said he wasn't a creator, which is laughably off the mark.

You clearly indicated in an earlier post that you felt Yokoi had no input, don't make me laugh Sakamoto and Aonuma are comparable as they are directors and driving forces of franchises that they didn't solely create, only thing laughable is your apparent issue with the comparison swallow the truth and move on it's not taking anything away from them as directors can be more important then the creators.

No I didn't, I quizzed you on the extent of Yokoi's "creation" in the face of everyone else's direct contributions, and I got a subversively condiscending orchestra allusion.  I maintained multiple "creators", and this isn't about "importance" (Sakamoto would win that battle rather effortlessly) it's about truth.

Sakamoto can be considered "creator" when it comes to Metroid, Aonuma can't when it comes to Zelda.  Pretty cut and dry.

To put it to you simply I told you he had an idea and got everyone to chip in if you don't get that then move on and you still don't get the Aonuma comparison, both these men are the driving forces of the series they direct, Aonuma has been directing Zelda since ALTTP and has been responsible for basic direction of the series ever since Miyamoto enlisted him, Sakamoto was enlisted by Yokoi in a similar manner hence why the comparison. I had to point out in another topic a while back when a site refered to Aonuma as OOT's creator that he's not the series creator, if you still feel insulted by it then that's too bad move on, life goes on so agree to disagree.

Aonuma didn't even work on Zelda until OOT (where he was an assistant director), and he didn't take the lead until MM.  You're sort of digging your own grave here, that nothing like Sakamoto's Metroid contribution...
