I think the only ones who have issue with what Miyamoto-san said are OBVIOUS PS3/360 fanboys with an ax to grind against one of gaming's greatest game designers. You know who you are.

 

   I don't think you have to be a fanboy to think that A) he is hypocritical about violence when his games are all violent even if it is cartoony violence instead of bloody violence

and B) that he would be a greater designer if he didn't keep revamping the same games over and over from the N64 on.  Mario 64 is Mario Sunshine is Mario Galaxy, Orcania of Time is very much like Twilight Princess, Wii Smash Bros same  as the N64 smash Bros, New Super Mario Bros more or less the same as Super Mario World etc.  Hell Mario Kart even shares a ton of levels with the old versions in additional to being virtually identical.

 

  Kind of funny having a designer who has stagnated since the 80s and early 90s try to give lessons on game design to devs some of which are actually trying new and interesting things.  

 

   Before you start on about the Wii Fit or Wii controller, go look up the power glove and/or track and field with the run pad from the original NES, yes, even those were 80s ideas that were updated.

 

You are not SERIOUSLY comparing Mario Galaxy to Mario 64, are you? Seriously?

 

The only thing these two games share are the fact that you have to collect stars and the fact that you have to go into different rooms (or paintings) to get to levels. That's it. Beyond that these are two completely different gaming experiences.

 

Furthermore, Miyamoto has not had serious, direct input on any Zelda game since Ocarina of Time. And that was well over 10 years ago. 

 

Even furthermore, you are AGAIN, one of these fanboys that has an axe to grind. Not once did he "give lessons on game design", not once was he "hypocritical about violence". He simply said that ALL games need to receive equal time and resources to push the industry forward, and not just one type of game. How hard is this to understand? Unless....you have an axe to grind.
