Miyamoto's words just genuinely made me sad (Regarding Paper Mario)

Myamoto is still one of the best developer in the world when it comes to techniqual quality of his games.

But statesments such as this one makes me think that he maybe should retire and that Nintendo could do better w/o him in today's age of gaming. He seems just way to much out of touch with today's gamers. He can't realise that gamers want story and are tired of the lame ass ''bowser kidnap peach'' all the time. Skyward Sword was the best Zelda IMO because of it's storytelling and as far as I know Myamoto did'nt do much, it was mostly Aonuma's work. I think he's the cause of the so few new IP and so many cliché games that comes from Nintendo. (blashphemy, I know! Can't believe myself I'm saying this)

You may think Skyward Sword was the best Zelda, but it's one of the weaker selling ones. I believe it's pulling in Majora numbers, which is...not great.

I was launched on a dead system that has been abandoned by core gamers years ago. It also required Wiimotion+, a peripheral that I personnaly know alot of ppl doesn't have. I'm a Nintendo fanboy and did'nt have Wiimotion+ so I bought it just for this game, I know alot of ppl who were like me but were not rdy to buy a m+ just to dust off their dead system for 1game. I don't blame the quality of the game for it's performance at all.

Also, 3.5milion is not bad not matter how you look at it. Yes alot of zelda games outsold it but still, 3.5mil is great considering the state of the Wii when that game launched.

Finaly, it did ousell MM (by only 100k), but I would'nt put quality as the cause of MM's sales either. I also blame the fact that it was launched on a dying system. So SS got the MM treatment (same thing for TP on the GC, barely sold anything), launching on a system that fewer and fewer ppl cared about and they both did'nt have enough time to let their legs have an effect. Thanks to it's legs, TP sold like crazy but SS actualy sold more than TP in it's first year, meaning that if SS had 6years ahead of it to sell, it would probably do great. Also if you give SS the Nintendo Select treatment that TP had...
