miyamoto knows neo-nintendo is on the decline and the bait n switch is going to be their dreamcas (or the last console before their dreamcast happens) so he's prepping to go out on a big high profit bang and then flee like rats off a ship along with anyone else with a brain

He's discussed about retirement before, but when it'll happen, who fucking knows. The age he wants to retire at, he may as well be dead.
So is Shinya Takahashi being groomed to be the next president of the company? Because Kimishima is really starting to seem just as out-of-touch as Iwata.
nice shitpost
Come on man, he said he expects the Switch to sell just as well as the Wii did
He's acknowledged it before, but for him it's not about age or a specific date it's about when he runs out of idea's or feels he can't really contribute anymore, which means he'll likely keep going until he dies or physically can't work.
I'd say after the shit-show that was Star Fox Zero, Miyamoto should call it quits.
However, I will miss the interesting ideas he brought to the industry, and I ultimately think he'll step back to a sort of executive producer role that oversees stuff and suggests things.
as president of the company he needs to have confidence in their biggest product. maybe he even has things planned for it to launch it into the stratosphere, you never know. he's a businessman unlike iwata
or he's just old enough to retire and doesnt have any ideas left. switch looks promising and its good that nintendo are putting their younger devs behind it
He said it has the potential to. What, you expect him to say he hopes it beats the Wii U? He should aim high so people see he has confidence in his system.
Nintendo will not go 3rd party in mine or your lifetime, give up, the wiiU was a failure but they made money for 3/5 years for the thing.
The switch isn't going to do as poorly as it's well advertised and isn't as horrendously underpowered like the WiiU was (it is still underpowered, but not to the extent that the WiiU was compared to the PS4 or XBone)
Also, why would you event want Nintendo games on a system that's not nintendo, you clearly don't know why their games are good
Prominent figures in companies generally don't come out and say they think their products will fail, also try stepping outside of your Sup Forums echochamber sometime, there's a lot of people actually excited for the switch
You've been saying Nintendo will go third party for 20 years, when will you come to terms with the fact that you're delusional?
whoops sorry meant for
I don't think the economy is good enough for that, but I can see it outdoing the 3DS if everything goes absolutely right.
no matter how much of an honest leader you want to be, you have spin on some things, investors don't want to hear that you are unsure on the success of a product you're trying to sell, even a modest amount of sales won't be enough to keep investors interested in your company, you either go big or go home.
>Prominent figures in companies generally don't come out and say they think their products will fail
he actually said that of the Wii U, he never thought the idea of the gamepad would fly
mynintendonews.com
He didn't publicly say that though, he said it internally while Iwata was still at the helm
He is like 65 or something, sounds like a perfect age for Retirement
I love Miyamoto, but I'm glad he realizes it just might be time to hand the reins over to the younger generation. Miyamoto has done so much for video games, but his recent contributions to the industry have not been the best.
>nip not working until his death

I agree that the Switch isnt drastically underpowered like the Wii U was
But the Scorpio is right around the corner
Oh fuck off you know Nintendo brings nothing to the table expcelt their first party games, that's it. Their consoles are gimmicky their handhelds are barely noteworthy , it would be much better for them to go 3rd party and make more money that way
do japs still get pensions?
>He wants to retire right when he gets his shit together
Oh well, atleast itll be in good faith
He said that Super Mario odyssey got different ideas from newer teams so Nintendo atleast knows who to leave the franchise to
So? The PS4 pro is already out and no one's talking about it. Besides, Microsoft already shot thenselves in the foot with the Xbox one.
People are limited if they are third parties
The only reason Nintendo games are great is because they know how to use their own hardware
Having a fuck huge space means dog shit if your not going to use it properly outside MUH GRAPHICS
>handhelds are barely noteworthy
Zero effort bait.
By that time it's a 250 dollar handheld competing with 400 and 500 dollar underpowered PC's that can't even do the 4k they advertise.
>Their consoles are gimmicky their handhelds are barely noteworthy
You could apply that to every other console, especially the PS4 and Xbone which are now just a few steps from being PCs essentially making them worthless.
Not to mention moving Nintendo into the third party would drastically lower the quality of their games because they don't have the time to become accustomed to the hardware as they would have to compete with other third parties to stay relevant.
Basically Nintendo are the last group of people who should go third party and at this point you might as well just but their systems if you want their games.
Nintendo are the only hope for handhelds, and are pretty much the only console developer that actually focuses in games. I don't want a media box, I want a games console.
it shouldnt matter
Unless you specifically want Multiplat Third Parties
They wont, ever
Unless the Switch turns out to be a success and they decide to actually put effort, it shouldnt be hard since it already supports a version of Unreal Engine 4, they are just cautiously waiting before supporting
Interesting bit, apparently STEEP is getting a Switch port, which is actually interesting
Dragon Quest Heroes and most likely STEEP got only slightly downgraded for Switch which is honestly OK if it means we can get third parties in Switch
But again, you shouldnt care because Nintendo isnt about Multiplat third party, they are about Exclusive third party
I won't buy their games I just wait for emulators to emulate them. It's just not worth it when you have to spend $300 for a console that only has first party games.
god I fucking hope so. the only bright spots of nintendo in the last few years ever since Iwata died have been Splatoon, Pokemon Sun/Moon and ARMS
>It's just not worth it when you have to spend $300 for a console that only has first party games.
That's a bit stupid isn't it?
Wouldn't it be better to buy the system with exclusive games rather than one that's thriving almost solely on multiplats and remasters that you can already buy or pirate on your PC?
Especially when that system with the multiplats is going to be far more expensive.
Going this way saves you money while expanding your options for games.
because that worked so well for sticker star
>nvidia gpu
>emulation
That worked well for the original Xbox, right?
I agree with you
Except Switch uses Nvidia
Which was the sole reason we don't have an Xbox emulator
He didn't have anything to do with Sticker Star beyond suggesting not to add anymore super special OCs.
Other than that the rest of the decisions were made by the fans and Tanabe or Kudo I forgot which one. Anyway you can read it in the Iwata Asks.
Layman's terms pls
I think nvidia doesn't document their sources well etc so don't expect to see a emulator anytime soon.
Companies like Qualcomm have a good document sources usually that's why almost every Qualcomm phone has support for custom roms etc.
What do you want him to say to investors? Telling them to expect Gamecube numbers doesn't show confidence in their product.
It was going to happen eventually. Good to see Miyamoto acknowledge the talent of his younger developers.
user please, this post makes to much sense
I think the edge that Kimishima has over Iwata is that he didn't really want to be President and now that he is instead of taking full charge he's mostly taking the ideas from those around him and using that to push forward instead of try to push his own ideas.
It might be less common but probably not to the degree that happened here in the US, a company like Nintendo undoubtedly has pensions for it's developers
Japanese live to 100 though.
