I haven't seen the end credits for MKW for myself yet, but apparently, Miyamoto is not credited.
He wasn't credited in Echoes of Wisdom either - Which was the first time a mainline Zelda game didn't credit him.

I knew the day would eventually come where he wouldn't be involved in the games anymore... But now it's actually here...

Damn.

MarioKart World is too easy. I thought the Time Trail ghosts were easy…until I started playing Grand Prix. You can get a perfect 60 without even doing as much as drifting. :/ Nintendo did almost everything right! They just completely missed the mark in appealing to gamers who want a challenge. 200cc mode is a necessity at this point!

also, the OST in this game is jaw-dropping. Not much original admittedly, though the covers of old music are…wow! I will literally just let the music run for like hours if I need a break from racing.

Case and point.

Yeah the soundtrack is a banger, the first time Jump Up Superstar kicked in while we raced to the next course I knew we were in for a treat.

Great selection of tracks with style and variety to spare.

You really think he's on his way to retirement already?

That guy will never truly retire. He is focusing on the movies now.

Hopefully the movie studios listen to him. That's one of the main reasons the Mario movie turned out as good as it did, and not like a bastard child of Blade Runner and Jurassic Park.

and prolly the amusement parks and such. Also, from what I’ve heard (iirc…), his current role is solely to mentor, not develop.

It's like he's becoming this, which is fitting:

Weirdly enough, got to listen to some of the remix of tracks from MK8DX which was strange but quite bangers already. 

Got to do my first races ever on the game .... Actually inauguring my initial races with a friend who hasn't played MK much. Beat me in the first races but won the overall Grand Prix, then he won our first Knockout Tour. 

Trying to get a hang on the gridding mechanic will likely be my biggest challenge with this game but it's honestly just fun !

Also game is looking like a banger on the handheld screen so that was a mighty positive experience there. 

Though actively have only played it for a short time so far. Will jump in Welcome Tour tonight and immerse myself in Switch 2 "universe" for now.



Switch Friend Code : 3905-6122-2909 

As a longtime Nintendo fan, Switch 2 really underscores how dramatically the company has shifted in the last decade.

This new console feels like it comes from a totally different company to the Wii U, 3DS, Wii, DS, etc. Everything from the design language to the materials is night and day different.

Even the new game cases are a bold aggressive design with bright red, as opposed to the blue/grey cases in the 7th and 8th gen.

Heck, even compared to Switch 1 their whole approach feels more assertive and high end.

Which I think highlights the differences between Furukawa and Iwata.

Some people may not agree or like what I'm about to say here - Iwata, God rest his soul, I miss him dearly... But he often got in his own way, and Nintendo's way, with constantly trying to innovate and reinvent the wheel or force gimmicks that were just unnecessary (DS -> 3DS; Wii -> Wii U). He didn't quite get the idea of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." 

Something that Furukawa clearly understands and one place where I will give him points over Iwata for. The Switch was clearly their most successful product in company history - Trying to deviate or innovate too much from that would be downright stupid. The Switch 2 isn't some wacky gimmick trying to reinvent the wheel or rethink ways on how we play a game. It's just a bigger, faster, stronger Switch. That's all it needs to be!
