I know I'm in the minority, but I want Miyamoto out. He doesn't seem to contribute much anymore. :/

We get it, Mario sells, but people want new universes and worlds and characters, not just a new game with Mario strapped on.

Here's an example, Pikmin was originally supposed to feature little Mario's I believe, and instead they gave it it's own style and characters. I would argue that if Pikmin had little Mairo's, it would feel like just another generic mario spin off.

Reminds me of Mario vs. DK I was playing the other day. Could've been made into a 'new IP' instead of people thinking it's a Mario spin-off.

You're not in the minority. I don't like him anymore because of what he did to Paper Mario T_T



Jin Fujisawa did not receive so much hate because of Dragon Quest X neither Naoki Yoshida because of FFXIV, maybe that is because they have not Shigeru Miyamoto's notoriety... Concerning Mario vs. Donkey Kong, the game is released for almost a decade why complaining now ?

"Nintendo in the past didn't really have problems trying out new IPs with similar gameplay to other major IPs"

When they were starting developing on NES Donkey Kong was their only established IP, on SNES they had already Mario,Zelda,Metroid,Kirby, Fire Emblem. Nintendo has more and more established IP, it is harder and harder for them to find the right balance between creating new IP and deliver sequels to fans of these established IP (for exemple Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero,Pikmin...). I do not know if it is even possible to find one exemple of Nintendo IP which have similar gameplay to another...
