I already explained before what "Creative Fellow" meant. President Kimishima stated that his role as Creative Fellow is to nuture the new and young talent within the company (mentor basically) and spread the Nintendo IP into new fields...he's heading up the Universal Studios theme park collaboration for instance.
Being uber influential does not mean he makes all decisions for all game designs and direction.
And did I not just list the actual developers of several recent games including Star Fox Zero as being developed by a 3rd party (Platinum Studios)?
Accountability is the company as a whole. Nintendo is not just Shigeru Miyamoto. Especially given that his role in the comapny is more business than development now. Why not blame the director? Why not blame the designer? Why not blame the artists? Why not blame the actual people resonsible for creating and directing the game?
And given that his role is what it is, he doesn't have the time to lead a major production which is why what he has worked on lately ahve been small projects. he himself even stated that he only wants to work on small projects.

So your position is that for years he does nothing game related, he does not exerce a significant influence in term of budget, quality control, development, and gameplay decision (this one I give it to you nicely because really it was his mission, and he did the PR), and also he doesn't look over development as a general manager of development. I read he doesn't even play games anymore. OK, great, but then he kind of totally lost it, didn't he ?
