For Metroid Prime he merely suggested it should be in a first person perspective. The one who really overlooked the project was Kensuke Tanabe and don't forget the most important person in a game (like in a movie), it's called a director, Mark Pacini for MP1.

Tanabe also produced (overlooked) most of Retro games notably Donkey kong Country Returns. Also for this game Miyamoto just suggested to remake a donkey kong game, that's all.

People tend to give Miyamoto to much credit lately. As if he directed or personnaly overlooked all recent successful Nintendo games.

The reason Miyamoto gets credit is because he often personally produces the best, defining mechanics in some of Nintendo's greatest games, like spherical worlds and gravity based play in Galaxy. He also initiated the idea for the multiple visor system that was one of the defining aspects of the Prime games, so while the team at Retro did do amazing work, some of the defining aspects of Prime came from Miyamoto.

Same here and I can't believe I'm saying that.

I thought so. I would say Mario Universe (online) or a whole new IP.

I agree with this. EAD Tokyo is done with Mrio for now.

I'm hoping that his team, after completing 3D World, will focus on helping whatever Tokyo Team 1 is doing in time for Holiday 2014.
