Devil's third took a year to barely improve, mario 3d world did not get a graphics update, they simply showed the plain and uninteresting levels when they annouced it, SMTxFE was announced with a prerendered video so I don't know how you a comparing those graphics.

Why not look at the watch dogs downgrade controversy, or xenoblade X downgrade if you want to see visual downgrades since announcement.

I in no way refered to the hardware as a limiting factor. I will refer to time as a limiting factor. This is why fast racing neo looks amazing compared to other indie games, and star fox looks like garbage compared to retail games (wii u retail games included). It's not the art direction, it's the quick workaround to not having to delay the game, which we know won't happen seeing as how fans are already pissed zelda was delayed.

Miyamoto can have his opinions, but like everyother professional in the industry, he has to keep them to himself. Otherwise he looks immature and like a sore (given the context of a bad e3 and poor starfox graphics). Unless you were perfectly content with other developers calling the wii u hardware shit, you seem to be portraying a double standard here

A showcase of clear graphical improvement in Shin Megami Tensei. Will post a mario 3D world when I get out of work.

Xenoblade X was only a downgrade from the second video. Still a massive upgrade from the first, and even improved from the third onward.

I can disagree with devs, but they have every right to say what they want.

Let's assume those games have improved by a "significant amount." Does starfox fall under harsher circumstances and a small time frame compared to those games, most definitely. So is it reasonable to assume that starfox won't receive the same upgrade. Yes, yes it does. Given that it looks like a 2006 game now, even if it there is an upgrade, there is no way that it would match other wii u game graphics in such a short time frame (wii u games aren't really that graphically impressive to begin with). Could you then justify pricing starfox at $60? Could you honestly say that Nintendo isn't taking massive shortcuts for the sake of business and not customer satisfaction? It seems obvious that Miyamoto wants to distract people from that train of thought by downplaying other games.

Again, devs have every right to say what they want, but you can't expect them to not recieve backlash for what they say. Miyamoto being legendary in the past does not excuse him from looking like a childish sore loser after downplaying other games. He should have just been professional and kept his thoughts to himself, but instead he chose to whine about other games despite the fact that his games need the most work
