Is Miyamoto overrated or is he literally a genius?

Is Miyamoto overrated or is he literally a genius?

Didn't he only get the job because his daddy was important or something?

If Western developers didn't go full retard with the video game crash and their greed, Nintendo wouldn't even be successful.

Nintendo saved video games and continue making better games than a majority of western games.

Nope. He saved CONSOLES. And maybe he shouldn't have.

PC games were fine and thriving like always.

Genius.

Daily reminder that he originally intended for Doki Doki Panic to be Mario 2, but Nintendo wanted a shitty rehash and made Lost Levels instead.

Last game he directed was Super Mario 64 and it was revolutionary. He ended it on a high note.

Apparently he made the designers revamp mario's movement options over and over in a small enclosed space with no features until even that was fun to play. How is that not genius?

hes a genius

It paid off, Mario's movements are what makes the game.

In fact, they fucked it up as soon as he left. Mario in Sunshine feels stiff as a board.

Did you watch Matthew as well or are you an actual fan of Nintendo?

I played Mario 3 religiously before you were born. The difference between that game and everything that came before it is palpable, it set a new standard.

I own a Switch and it's honestly time for him to be demoted to smaller games alongside people like Aonuma. Miyamoto stills sees games as toys and that thinking isn't relevant in this day and age.

Keep his influence and opinions away from future Nintendo titles and let him design games no one cares about like Pikmin.

Used to be an absolute genius, but he refuses to accept that video games have changed in the past two decades.
Just look at how badly he's ravaged Paper Mario.

i own a switch and you should probably kill yourself already

If someone has legitimate talent it shouldn't matter if they were helped by their parents to get where they are. Michelangelo was born to rich parents in a time when that actually meant something and he is one of the greatest artists to ever live, and I say all this as a guy with parents that had no kind of help to give financially nor career-wise.

That wasn't him, they had a poll and he followed their results. Paper Mario was already ruined by that point and would've been shitcanned altogether if Miyamoto didn't swoop in and save it.

I'd honestly prefer it dying with TTYD than Sticker Star or the paint game existing.

I'm sure the employees of IS wholeheartedly disagree. Note that M&L is still good.

i honestly wish he would just retire and stop fucking up games with his shitty ideas

Nah. He's pretty focused on making good vidya though. Whenever he tries something different, people shit their pants cause he didn't make a re-hash. Then they release a re-hash, and his different project is hailed as a cult classic.

KORE WA DERETO

Pikmin is a piece of art, you tasteless swine.

>games aren't toys
not even a nintenbro and youre retarded

He's a genius at what he does best, but he's fucking stupid when it comes to RPGs.

He was the best dev ever in the 80s, awesome in the 90s, hit or miss in the 21st century.

Nowadays he's apparently one of the people pushing Nintendo to only make G-rated content, which means his overall influence is probably negative.

>I know this because I said so
Yeah ok

PC gaming didn't go mainstream until the 90s and that was id Software's doing.

He's publically said that he's against ALL forms of violence in gaming. He original was against Nintendo publishing Smash Bros. because he said he didn't want fighting in any Nintendo games. Iwata is actually the only reason Nintendo stuck with Smash because Miyamoto was opposed to it.

>PC gaming going mainstream
>a good thing
Yeah instead of having games made by nerds for nerds, having games made by greedy, indifferent normies made for indifferent, causal hipsters and normies is so much better.

The thing is, I know you made that shit up because I looked it up and found nothing other than him working with Samurai on the first 2 games.

no, it's true

he also didn't want Nintendo publishing FPSes like Goldeneye

He was a good idea man for his time. He was never actually anything more than that. I don't think he ever actually did any grunt work, i.e. the people that actually make the games. Even if he did it was probably nothing more than glorified debugging.

I would say that once upon a time he WAS a genius, but now he just comes off as an incredibly stubborn old man that simply can't adapt to the ways of the modern industry. He also has a grudge against western companies that do better jobs than him (Like Rareware for instance) and we've all seen the lengths he'll go to assure that they doom themselves.

You're an idiot. When you're making a NES game with seven people everyone works on everything.

He was good gamedesigner in NES/SNES era.
After that he become too old to understand how games work now.

He was a genius but for the most part he's been Inafune'd by the other execs where they bill it like he's the mastermind between anything he even looked at because they need a marketable face, Miyamoto doesn't seem to be a shitter like businessman Inafune though so don't expect Ultra Dario Sisters to ever happen

Do you have any proof? He's never been credited as a programmer. At most he'll be credited alongside design on top of being a director (i.e. supervisor/idea guy).

Your nostalgia clouds your real judgement. Just because he's Miyamoto doesn't automatically mean he's got some kind of programming ability. Japanese business structure is different from ours.

source: I've been playing these games since the 80's.

I call bull. Pretty much ever series he has created has violence or death. Mario and DK have comical violence. Zelda has Link actually killing his enemies, and has shown Ganondorf cough up blood, get stabbed in the head and stomach, and punch and backhand children. F-Zero is a death race. Star Fox has characters blow up and die. Pikmin has your army get killed or eaten. The only thing he's against is photo-realism.

An actual genius.

Genius of his time, but failed in many ways to move with the times. Still a great game designer and an icon of the industry.

he's done more good than bad so i respect him

I really hope the story about him not wanting to work on another f-zero because mario kart has anti-gravity stuff is untrue because if it is I feel obliged to dislike the man he's become.

He did good but his time as passed and he needs to step down

Nintendo never made a good video game other than Super Mario 3 and Super Mario 64, Sega were the real risk takers and innovators of jap video games, but American and European PC games in particular hold the highest achievements in all categories.
