So basically in Japan, seniority is a big thing. I.E. being older, and having more experience developing games almost always gives you final say in how a game is developed. This is why Miyamoto always directs Mario & Zelda games, and the same goes with Final Fantasy and Hironobu Sakaguchi (now Mistwalker), Yoshinori Kitase, and others.


I'm not sure where you're getting this information from, but according to Wikipedia, the last game Miyamoto directed was Mario Artist: Paint Studio for the Nintendo 64DD, released way back in 1999.
