Everyone has to step down at some point, Nintendo has a lot of talented people like Koizumi and Fujibayashi who they would like to get the most out of, I'm sure these designers have ideas and concepts which are great but as Miyamoto put would be overshadowed by his own. It'll be an interesting restructuring.
As much as I loved Miyamoto's work, I'm kinda glad he's stepping away a little to work on smaller projects, I think it's time to move on. Nintendo have other amazing people working for them so Miyamoto's lost won't affect the games imo.

Probably because they see Miyamoto as the man responsible for no new IPs that feature fictional universes coming out of Nintendo in a long time. I'd like to see him step down because of his major involvement in the 3DS hardware design as well as for his poor judgment or too strong influence in what kinds of games Nintendo has been making. Refering to the whole "NSMB was released in 2006 and was a huge hit, there's no point in making a sequel for the same system and it's not even worth having a sequel at the launch of the DS successor; but let's make Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Wii" incident. |
hey now, I still consider Galaxy 2 the best console game of the current generation! 1 month 6 days until the next gen starts!
Well, it will take at least a year for to discover the results of these actions. Sad but true. I wanna see old IPs, and/or new huge IPs as well. You know, NintendoLand is cool and funny, but I'm talking about something like Metroid, Final Fantasy or Skyrim. I know Nintendo has money and talent to make more games like these, and now they have the most powerful console at the moment. So, I really wanna see huge games soon( 2013, please)
We need moar Zelda, now!
We need moar Unchartedzz!
We need less DLCs.
Satoru is a smart man, I trust him!!!
It will be a sad day though when Miyamoto leaves Nintendo
I'm curious to see what gets developed on Miyamoto's small "Indie like" studio.
Great potential for some good pearls there.
Thank God Miyamoto is finally taking on a smaller role at Nintendo. While his accomplishments over the pas 25 years are undeniable, over the past decade or so I feel at times his presence has been a hindrance to game development... for example his meddling in Rare's Dinosaur Planet which turned the game into the half-assed Starfox Adventures a couple years later, and making one of the premiere titles of 2008 for the Wii the God-awful Wii Music.
Seems like good moves all around... now how about picking up another Western developer or two to complement Retro, who's software output has been pretty lacking. 4 games over more than 10 years? That's pretty weak right there... even companies like Rockstar, Valve and Epic who are notorious for lengthy development cycles between games have a higher output than that.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Miyamoto was behind the Wii Series which has been ridiculously successful and is the third best selling franchise ever now behind Mario & Pokemon. So Miyamoto has still got it.
And the reason it takes Retro ages to put out a game is they are only a small studio 80 at max I think and are not as large as Rockstar, Valve or even Epic.
