If is true Nintendo is the dumbest company. It is one of the strongest ips ever. 

One big-budget 2D Mario will be on the real 20M+ easily 

They are very talented and very dumb, yea. 

Sums them up well lol. They make the most incredible games but also seem the least in touch with their customers and modern times.

Is this a very controversial take? The new DKC and Rayman games make the NSMB games look pretty mediocre, while no 3d platformer is even close to challenging Odyssey. 

But what exactly do you want out of Nintendo? good business decisions or good games ? Because as a consumer I would rather they spend money on a new DKC game than a new 2D Mario, although there is no way in hell their sales will be even remotely similar. 

He's busy creating Mario Run and sharing his Mario IP to the world. Miyamoto is now just a "Fellow" after all.

I have noe idea why everyone likes to criticize him so much. And at this point, I'm too afraid to ask.

Shitting on artists is what we do best in the west…and we’re good at it, we even drove Vincent van Gogh to suicide. Then did the other stereotypically dick move: turning around to praise him as arguably the greatest artistic painter of all time AFTER we drove him to take his own life.

Right, and it's sad. You know, he might be the most iconic person in all of gaming and he created the biggest franchises, yeah... But did you know that he sometimes talks crazy stuff that doesn't hold much weight? Whoops, guess he's not THAT great after all, huh? You know, this man enlarges the medium to new areas like theme parks and introduces millions of people into gaming's beloved universes, which is pretty nice... but have you heard that he forced a complicated control scheme into Star Fox Zero? Big oof if you ask me! Completely out of touch, that old man.

Coming back to your replay, I believe you're so right. When he retires one day, and when he won't be around with us one day, all those haters will cherrish him and brag how much they loved him all along, but as long he's still alive and kicking, he's a target.

The New Super Mario Bros. series featured the moveset off the 3d games, from the triple jump to the wall jump to the butt stomp. It can be seen as taking the 3d Mario and putting him in a 2d game. That could be what he means here.

In general Miyamoto has been far less involved in game development the last 10 years, and the last few years in particular he's been more involved in the Universal Nintendo World than anything else.

Miyamoto is the greatest videogame designer of all time. It isn't close. Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros 1-3, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario World, A Link to the Past, F-Zero, Super Mario 64, Star Fix 64, Ocarina of Time, Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, Nintendogs. He was very involved in the development and success of the original Pokemon games, he's responsible for Samus swapping visors in Metroid Prime. He was involved in the development of Wii Sports, Nintendogs, the Galaxy games and pretty much all Zeldas through the early 2010s. The man has made his share of mistakes, from his dismissal of the importance of stories in games like Paper Mario to his dismissal of the original Donkey Kong Country as being graphics over gameplay, but no one can come close to his influence and impact on how games are made or sheer number of games that would be on any 'greatest games of all time' list.
