He’s eccentric, he can be demanding, but never for no good reason.

[@cursedex80]

There's several stories going around about Miyamoto being an asshole; but in Retro's case, their creation on itself was a nightmare story that only ended as a result of Nintendo's direct involvement and Miyamoto's interest in one of their game concepts, so no surprise they hold him in high regard.

[@bitwize]

One of the things I like about Miyamoto is how hands-off he's been in recent years. Game dev teams look to him for feedback and guidance, but his direct contribution to even the tentpole franchises he created, like Mario, is very little these days. And it's nit really just him, it's a cultural thing at Nintendo -- this tells me that Nintendo is very committed to cultivating institutional knowledge among its staff, so that if a key developer dies or retires, other people can step in and keep the traditions going. Hence why Nintendo properties endure, and still feel like themselves, for decades.

[@Westile]

Honestly that might be because of his old age, no doubt the japanese corporate life has taken a toll on him.

[@bitwize]

Indeed, but it still takes a corporate culture where people ask themselves, what happens when we get old and die/retire? We better make sure our knowledge is passed on before then. Not all companies have such a culture.

[@beauwalker9820]

It's nothing new, former Rareware staff said Miyamoto gave them advice for the Donkey Kong Country games, and such. (And no, those rumors that "Miyamoto hates DKC" are all fake...)

[@Jormunguandr]

Apple: "Oooh! Right, It all makes sense now"

[@normalguycap]

I feel the Did You Know videos that have Miyamoto in them paint a very different story. My interpretation based on those is that he's a has-been who needs to get out of the way. In recent years it's gotten far worse. Whatever the truth is, he remains the luckiest man on earth because he stumbled into the job that gave him a blank check to simply create games based on general childhood thoughts/experiences. Zelda is not unique to him, all kids do that type of exploration, but he had the luck that others made what he requested/demanded.

[@XadePsyconic]

Miyamoto-san is a treasure. He might not always make decisions that please fans, but overall his vision and understanding of what makes a fun game would be a challenge to dispute.

[@islandboy9381]

True, nothing but respect towards his vision on game design, just don't let him have the final say on how to do narratives in games (like how Koizumi had to sneak in Rosalina's backstory in Mario Galaxy 1 otherwise Miyamoto would have rejected it immediatly).

[@callinater6133]

@@islandboy9381 that’s actually completely untrue. As far as I know it was never something that he ‘sneaked in.’ It was something that Miyamoto himself had to approve. Besides you can’t just ‘sneak’ stuff in past the director. Not only is it probably illegal, but also quite impossible lol. It was the sequel galaxy 2 where miyamoto decided to keep things streamlined and minimise story elements. I thought Galaxy 2 was also a much better game anyway so I can’t say I miss the storybook lol

[@PhilUP]

Interesting comments from former Retro developers (development, audio, design, and engineer directors) in regards to Mr. Miyamoto's comments when play testing a game. It shows that Mr. Miyamoto can imagine the game's atmosphere, the characters, and the playful sense of a game. But most importantly; it shows how much these franchise and characters mean to him. Sure not every idea is successful but the ideas behind it can show potential. Shoutout to the developer for making these ideas come to life.

[@SapphireDragonDX]

It's times like that where I wish I could just dive into Miyamoto's head. You know, see how the gears work when he playtests the games that are given to him and he tries to figure out what is either missing or needs adjustment.

I kind of wish they would have found a more streamlined way to integrate it into Tropical Freeze without slowing down all momentum.

[@wii58739]

Im always up for some interesting Rare, Nintendo Miyamoto knowledge awesome video

[@realevostevo]

I hear mixed stories about Miyamoto but from my experience growing up playing the games that he made, in my eyes he will always be the best developer of my lifetime. The games have aged but back in the day the first 2 Zelda games were so amazing to explore and conquer without any internet or strategy guides. Truly gaming gems of their time. It's kinda funny what some modern players think of those games, especially Zelda 2 being referred as the "black sheep". You just would've had to have been there at the time.

[@Pan_Z]

That Miyamoto's able to walk in and immediately knows how to tweak a dozen things for the better shows his superb senses of place & feeling. Much of Miyamoto's job today as a Creative Fellow at Nintendo is to go around giving advice and direction like this. That Nintendo retains Miyamoto and other developers from the 1980's is a big reason they've maintained such consistent quality for decades.

[@JsYTA]

These are the philosophies that go completely ignored and disrespected by the exaggerated misconception of how he feels about story. I love hearing more about the inner world of such a creative individual.

[@graalcloud]

The same people who dislike Miyamoto's disdain for story played OOT and imagined there was some grand story there. There really wasn't, Miyamoto and Nintendo devs have said that they actually tacked on a story after designing the gameplay. In my opinion it's this focus on the gameplay and atmosphere that causes people to enjoy the game, and that gives them a sense that they enjoyed the story.

[@msgsgt]

“It’s like working with Yoda”. 🤣. That’s a pretty good description. I can’t completely imagine what he is talking about.

[@dominicfucinari1942]

The quote "Donkey Kong is my friend" speaks to the principle from Episode #1112, Imaginationland Episode III. As long as the human race is still around, and long after everyone alive today is gone from this world, imaginary characters will have just as much sway over our lives and popular culture than almost any real person ever has. Kyle said as much when he burst into the Pentagon to talk them out of nuking Imaginationland. P.S. Having Donkey Kong blow air with a silly face that contrasted his giant buff strength was probably a better idea than I would've had, which was giving the Gust Bellows from Skyward Sword and Sm4sh an early bird cameo.

[@ItApproaches]

Theres a reason Miyamoto talks so highly of Retro. He has had personal experience working with them, and helping them. They treated DK with respect and were humble in being open to Miyamoto's thoughts. People seem to be trying to convey Miyamoto as a rude pain in the ass guy, he's not. He just has such passion for the art of video game development that he doesn't let any issues slide. He is quality control. People can cry and say he's lost his way with things like Starfox Zero and Paper Mario, but frankly thats a weak argument. All Starfox Zero needed was abit more content, but sadly Miyamoto's plan was to make Starfox Zero as a reset and act as a test to see if Starfox still had potential rather then making a full sequel. While Paper Mario's situation is that it has infinite possibilities with creative direction so Miyamoto likes to try to find a new fun experience. Sometimes that works sometimes that fails, but people cry that they just want to buy the same game again yet also cry that Nintendo doesn't change. Ultimately Miyamoto is just a man who enjoys his job and tries harder then most, is he strict? Yes, not because he's a jerk, but because he cares so much.

[@nicolaswarren3453]

I agree with you up until your talk of SF:0 and PM. As someone who finished and enjoyed SF:0, there is a lot more wrong with that game than just a drought of content. While that is a factor, poor marketing of the control scheme of the game as well as general fatigue in the fan community and players at large that this was ANOTHER retelling of the same story were also huge parts of why SF:0 flopped, imo. As for Paper Mario, at the risk of sounding like the entitled fanboy I absolutely am, the issue that I take with modern PM is that they have completely changed the identity of the franchise with zero regard for the existing fan base. While from the outside it can be easy to say "you just want Thousand Year Door again", what I at least want is a fun RPG, with turn based battles + action commands, with an engaging story. What I don't want is a comedy adventure game with RPG mechanics stapled on that feel more like an obligation than that any actually passion went into those systems. And let me be crystal clear: I am NOT saying a comedy adventure game staring Mario shouldn't be a thing; I AM saying that it shouldn't where the PM name and take up its budget and development time. Each idea is solid enough for its own series. As far as Miyamoto-san is concerned, I have heard conflicting stories on how far his reach actually extends in either project, but regardless of the truth, I am doubtful he is the ONLY thing wrong with either project and should be respected for who he is and what he has done.

I heard the same thing. I almost spit out my coffee.

I’ll love to ask to the ex retro employee what ever happened to the Original boss that got fired cause I remember he got a ton of well umm inappropriate stuff on a Nintendo computer and Nintendo bought retro and got fired He made the guys game but after that he disappeared he work for acclaim too Btw Metroid almost got canned if they didn’t get the visor samus used to scan the environment and retro almost went under but retro basically became Nintendo new rare working on bigger projects than Rare ever did Metroid and DK and other Nintendo IPs rare never did that yes they help the N64 but after that they went under

Myamoto, Bob Dylan and Quentin Tarantino are the last three artists on planet earth I care for!

[@TheAlibabatree]

Nice list. I would add Charlie Kaufman, Billy Corgan, Norm Macdonald (rip), and Kazuo Ishiguro.

[@BIGJUNK1MILLION]

Yoko Taro, SUDA51, and Hideki Kamiya deserve to be on this list. Seriously, do yourself a favor and play a game directed by one of these guys.

[@ZumaZoom07]

Sakurai is up there too

Miyamoto sounds like the Gordan Ramsey of gaming: demanding, seeking perfection, but I think the difference is he was probably more polite about it, just very assertive in his own way.

[@Balthazar2242]

He's a genius maybe because he doesn't seem obsessed with video games.

[@philsurtees]

The guy makes Steve Jobs look like a teenage amateur, but most of the planet doesn't even know who he is. Half the bloody gaming world don't even know who he is!

Samus' view scale is far better than the call of duties that came out for ps3.... I felt like a heavily armed midget or oddjob

[@DIProgan]

That DK blow was actually a bad decision if you ask me

[@worldsboss]

Sometimes he was right, other times I really disagree with his advice. I didn’t really like the blowing in DKCR, but there we go.

[@dalestoddard2742]

Same. It was dumb.

[@ItApproaches]

It's a pretty small detail. You can't please everyone though, I had no issue with it.

[@parallaxhal7065]

i did.

[@graalcloud]

Star Fox Zero was a masterpiece. The gaming press did Miyamoto dirty by lying and telling everyone it wasn't.

[@skippertheeyechild6621]

It really wasn't.

It has been such a ride, growing up, hating hard work, loving entertainment media, thinking it's a better thing for people to focus on, getting crap for it, being told to work hard.. having the 'just work hard and you'll succeed' rug yanked out from under us after doing as we're told.. while entertainment finally gets some respect in society at large.. and then, after so many years of total opacity, getting to peek behind the curtain, having so much connection to current creators, and realizing that everything we loved from the past, that shaped our tastes, was created via slavedriving, people working themselves to death, and going hugely into debt and hoping future syndication/sales would make up for it. unless computers get a lot stronger and a LOT smarter really soon, we're going to have to shift really hard how we do things.
