Again, SF0 is more mixed than anything. Plus I thought a retry good amount of people like Guard, a fun spin-off that experiments with the game pad effectively? Also Project Robot is also another experiment and that has yet to release. And there's more than Pikmin 3, how about Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Mario Maker, Splatoon, etc.? And who knows what Zelda U could ultimately become. if you wanna go back to Wii Music, you might find Galaxy 2, Skyward Sword, Nintendo Land releasing around that time. Not every project is perfect, but why not try something different? He experiments. It's not gonna always work, great minds don't always succeed. They all have their bumps along the way.

Miyamoto didn't direct luigis mansion dark moon, or Mario maker, or splatoon, or Galaxy 2, or skyward sword. These were all made by other Nintendo teams.

SF0 is not mixed. This may be the title that puts the starfox line to sleep for a while due to low performance.

here's the problem with constant experimentation: Some people don't want "unique" things shoehorned into games. Starfox zero did not need to be locked into that weird control scheme, but miyamoto did it to be "different" and as a result, starfox suffered. Paper Mario changed because of him and his quest to make the series "different" from past iterations. The wii u's hardware was largely influenced by his desire to be "different" (third parties clearly didn't like it and now ALL of them are gone).

Miyamoto had at least an influence in most of these projects. He wasn't a director for SF0 (just producer) or Guard either. He was the producer of Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon by the way.

im just saying reception wise, SF0 was mixed. Some people like it, some don't. It reflects upon the scores and the various comments made whether it's here, YouTube, Twitter, etc.Sales-wise, it's unfortunate considering, in my opinion, it's not a bad game. We probably won't see another entry for while, but who knows considering a lot of their games didn't particularly sold like hot cakes like Woolly World, Tropical Freeze, etc. Sure they sold a million, when you consider their predecessors' sales, it's disappointing. Granted being on the Wii U is a factor.

And as someone mentioned previously, Miyamoto was not really the guy behind the Wii U, Iwata was. The Wii U was his just as the Wii, DS, and 3DS were. Not trying to put all the blame on Iwata (God rest his soul), just pointing it out. Miyamoto had to help make the game pad a selling point, which ultimately didn't work.
