Miyamoto said in another that he was misquoted, HOWEVER I believe that this myth is probably true to some degree.
And the sole reason why I believe it to be true is the fact that among the Yoshi Island prototypes found with the famous gigaleak, a particular one was named Super Donkey.
What if Yoshi's Island was originally pitched as a Donkey Kong game?
Given the complexity of this prototype compared to the first DKC game, I wouldn't be surprised that Miyamoto was furious when it was rejected.
After all, 3D renders were a novelty at that time, and Nintendo didn't want to compete with its own brand.
I don't think Miyamoto was misquoted, I think he was generous enough to regret his initial opinion.
