It’s not a bad role for a guy who has aged out of game production and trained his successors and seen them achieve incredible success, he’s a brand ambassador and supervising IP expansion, it’s one thing he can consult on effectively since the gaming market and tech markets have fundamentally changed since his miraculous decades. He demonstrated with star fox zero he’ll commit to novel toy designs over satisfying conservative gamers and providing an experience they want or that works as smoothly as one would like. IP expansion and theme parks are good for him, he seems like he wants to keep finding new ways to have fun playing games or with his characters, and gaming is too conservative to really appreciate an old toy designer’s love of finding new ways to have fun.

Miyamoto's whole career was a dream job for anyone, basically a glorified "ideas guy", and using Star Fox Zero as some sort of example is the worst thing to do since that game flopped commercially and critically, with the franchise now effectively dead (admittedly, Zero was a decade after Command and Star Fox has never been a huge or active franchise anyway).

I wonder how many old-school Nintendo fans think they love Miyamoto when who they really love are Eiji Aonuma, Takashi Tezuka and Gunpei Yokoi.

Or the fact that the games before were few and not always loved.

Are we saying LttP and OoT, two games still considered the best in the series to this day, are not loved? That somehow slop like Spirit Tracks or Skyward Sword are somehow comparable? None of the original 5 are considered bad (even LA was critically acclaimed when it came out despite the narrative now its the "black sheep"). Even shit that is liked nowadays, like Wind Waker, were still panned when it came out for doing a complete 180 on the look and having a massive ocean of nothing (not to mention plenty of cut content).

Aonuma is a slop merchant and only the most diehard tendie would think otherwise.

Aonuma is pretty much the reason Zelda went to shit after OoT. You went from consistent quality to everything being a hit or miss.

There was like 4 games pre-OoT, one is a janky sidescroller and other is a easter egg hunt that despite people claiming they love it, if it was released as a new idea nowadays, people would hate it.

I still remember how controversial LA was. Do not deny that. And yes, people came around on WW. Now it is considered one of the best Zelda games.

This too. Most Zelda games were released after OoT. Yeah, they were good games but they were just very few in number. There were more games made since and many were good. Stop with the nostalgia goggles.

Fuck no.; With the precarious state of the home console space and the Switch’s astronomical success, they’d be absolute fools to do so (at least for the foreseeable future).

fucking GRIM

At least Kirby Air Riders looks fun.

For what reason? Dude isn't directly involved with games since 2017 at least, people keep using his name as scapegoat for everything bad happening at the company when he only cares about shoving pikmin on museums or some shit.

Even before that, Miyamoto wasn’t heavily involved in game development.

I believe Pikmin 3 and Star Fox Zero/Guard were the only Wii U games he was heavily involved with. After Iwata died of cancer, Miyamoto was promoted to a Nintendo executive, and has since been focused on mobile games like Mario Run and Pikmin Bloom, theme parks at Universal and the movie business.

Going further back, the N64 was the last console where Miyamoto was truly in charge of Mario and Zelda.
