| Wman1996 said: Hopefully. I view Koizumi as Miyamoto's successor, and he's had a lot of great ideas. |
Technically, Miyamoto's successor is Shinya Takahashi, the Executive GM of EPD at Nintendo, and thus oversees all development of Nintendo published software.
Koizumi however, I believe is Nintendo's equivalent to Mark Cerny. A game developer-turned-hardware architect who brought a fresh perspective to console design. Koizumi's background is art and graphics, and you can see that reflected in the Switch itself, with it's use of Nvidia's Tegra X1 SoC and and various APIs and Libraries, along with native support for PC development tools, specifically designed to make game development as easy and flexible as possible on the system.
If you think about the, the Switch and PS4 share a lot more in common than people think.
