I don't know if i'd go that far. Sure, Miyamoto is not the same as he once was (who ever is), since he's been more involved in managing the overall game department and less on focusing on individual projects, but it's not like things that he gets involved in are becoming duds. With the exception of Sticker Star and the experimental Steel Diver (I've not played those games so I can't judge them), he did make Pikmin 3, recommended online multiplayer in Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, and produced 3D Land, which all have been well received by fans and critics. And it's not like he's become a complete liability. He is training and influencing the new blood, including the devs of Splatoon. And wasn't he involved in some fashion in Super Mario Maker, a game that he's made numerous public appearances for? If we're looking at dud after dud, then he is damaging his own legacy, but that's not really the case. Plus, who the hell knows how the employees interact with Miyamoto, are they yes men or do they have their own input? It's almost like when we assumed who Iwata was when he was something more than we gave him credit for.
Anyway, who knows what's really going on with Star Fox Zero. I've heard mixed receptions on the gyro controls, even though its been already known that you can switch to normal controls. Some have pointed out some improvements over time. We can only wait and see. As much as I can Liam and his work, this is still a rumor and I take rumors with grains of salt. We don't really know what goes inside Nintendo's infamously secret doors. If it turns out crappy, then I won't mind being wrong as it is what it is. Miyamoto has been involved in duds before and is known to experiment, whether its good or bad.
