| rakugakist said: I feel like many of you on here are too young, or simply don't remember Miyamoto's contributions to Nintendo hardware. And wow, the WiiU isn't as successful as the Wii. Nothing to do with Miyamoto, it wasn't advertised correctly, given a horrible name, and most people didn't realize it was even a brand new console. Miyamoto develops the software, but lets not give him any input on the hardware he is working for? I don't get why there is so many cheers for this. Am I just completely off the wall? I guess so... |
I think you may think that his part in hardware decisions is too severely distant. I'm sure that Miyamoto still has a lot of sway in what goes in and out of the hardware. Iwata makes the final decisions, I'm sure Miyamoto can get whatever he wants into the machine if he makes a great point about it. To me, it just sounds like he's taking a less active role in NX. Remember, this is the guy who said he'll loosen the reigns of nintendo and have the new generation put in more of their own spin. He's been doing this for years, he needs to give up some of his time and let the next wave of Nintendo decisions onto someone else.
And I don't think anyone forgot Miyamoto, even the younger kids out there. Sure, this generation is less knowledgable about him and his games, but what do you expect, that's just how it goes. I don't know very much about Rover Cleveland, but no one faults us for not givng a damn. Miyamoto is the father of the videogame industry, the real father, the one we'll remember as the Walt Disney of videogames. That being said, the purest, the historically knowledgable, the ones who have a passion for this industry, they will remember. History will remember this guy. And for those who don't and they play games, well we can just they're not just into it like us.
