Where you think I take an overly offensive approach, I think you take an overly defensive approach.

Find one of my replies that says he should step down. I dare you since you are so confident that I want him to step down.

My thoughts are that he's lost his touch. He's not making revolutionary games like he used to. I don't like his new titles, but I can see that others like them (not gonna stop me from calling them bad as it is my opinion). But we can all agree that they are not like his earlier works (Mario 64, ocarina of time, etc.). Hence the lost his touch

While you actually never said it in particular, you highlight his failures in a thread like this, so I added the pieces and assume you are one of the people who want him to step down. Tell me otherwise. If you wouldn't want him to, you would be fine with him keeping to produce games that focus on gameplay and innovation like Star Fox Zero.

His recent games are not like his earlier works, I agree. I think that's mostly because he shifted from being a director to being a producer. We all know that those are different tasks and should be regarded differently. But all of the games he directed had a strong focus on gameplay and innovation, that's his thing. He loves those aspects much more than anything else in a game, and here's where none of his work as a director differs through the whole time. The last game he directed was Steel Diver, it had a quite barebone presentation, but the gameplay is addictive and catchy. Just like all of his games. On the contrary, as a producer, he gives others more freedom while giving himself the option to decide on general, basic elements. Most of these decisions must be bad to you since you only highlight those, but he also had many good ones, too, like Splatoon, Metroid Prime, etc. etc.

Pro tip: if you are going to make a generalizing claim about other people in the thread, don't make assumptions. Not everyone here wants miyamoto to step down.

im fine if he works on his "unique" games, but don't expect me too like them just because they are "unique" or made by miyamoto
