He was ultimately right about DKC, but not until the release of Returns.

I'm sure this thread won't be terrible

25 years and he still hasn't been proven wrong

D-did he die?

F

Don't fucking scare me like that OP. /vr/ was how I learned about Alex Trebek dying the other day.

Just so this thread actually has a reason to exist:
https://yomuka.wordpress.com/2013/08/18/earthbound-64-cancellation-interview-itoi-miyamoto-iwata/
Ever read this interview with Miyamoto, Iwata and Itoi about the cancellation of Earthbound 64? It's pretty neat!

>>7082064
I'm skimming through it and I feel like I read this when it was brand new. It's definitely not the only post-EB64 interview that was translated into english, I remember a transcript of a Miyamoto and Itoi conversation back when it cancelled.

Weird tie.

Donki Kongu...

>>7081785
He was right about everything.

he still seethes to this day that he was not the creator of jet set willy

>>7081794
He didn't actually say that DKC thing, but he should have, and it has been correct since the original. DKC just plays embarrassingly besides all the classics.

>>7083528
Not DKC2, the objective best game of all time though - right?

>>7081895
Please?

>>7083539
I didn't try 2 but i can't imagine it being great in any way, considering that the mediocre original sold so well.

>>7082064
Iwata really was way too good of a producer to be wasted as an executive.

>>7081785
>nice game idea there Director-San, but i'm afraid i can't allow that and you have no say coz i'm the producer-sama. ha ha ha.

>>7081785
Out of all the shit the mods and jannies go after that merely hurts their fee fees they leave low quality spam bot tier shit up.

>>7084835
Miyamoto is on topic. Your resentful politics is not.

Don't talk to me or my son ever again

Fs in the chat bros.

do americans really behave like this

Japanese people never say stuff like that, they act incredibly polite and respectful. They just keep everything inside bottled up and when the time comes they just kill each other in the most gruesome way possible or kill themselves in forests because they never express their emotions

Also it's *are

>>7081785
He turns 68 today.

>>7086434
how does he manage to look so young? he looks like he's still in his mid-40's.

>>7086535
Maybe people in Japan tend to have healthier diets or something. Here's a recent picture of Masahiro Sakurai, who turned 50 this year.

>>7086553
only nigger lovers blame nurture on nature

>Japanese people never say stuff like that
>japaneses are one person

What exactly does Shiggers himself do in terms of work on a given game?
I don't actually know how vidyas get made.

>>7086553
>Steve is actually playable in Smash Bros
god, i feel so old.
i miss it when Smash was mostly about Nintendo chararacters crossing over with a few guests, not a hall of fame wank off with shill protagonists.

These days, he mostly just gives feedback on other Nintendo employees' projects when asked. Miyamoto hasn't actually directed a game since Super Mario 64 and its canceled sequel, and he's been gradually moving away from his usual producer roles, too. He was most actively involved with game development from the early 80s to the mid-2000s.

>>7087083
he directed Star Fox Zero

>>7086560
sure, blame bad genes for the fact that you look like shit and not your terrible diet and lifestyle

>>7087084
That game only credited him as a "supervising director," whatever that means. He was also credited that way in Super Mario 64 DS.

>>7087105
Only nigger lovers think that genes don't dictate looks and behaviors more so than nurture.

>>7087083
What did he do in his prime?

>>7086553
Sakurai is a bit of a different case though, since he obviously puts a lot of thought into his appearance and wears make-up

>>7087447
>Sakurai is a bit of a different case though, since he obviously is a vampire who sucks the blood of virgin Smash players
Fixed that for you, Chief

>On his revolutionary career at Nintendo
It’s the last line that really sells the joke, kek

>>7087214
In the mid-80s, he and Takashi Tezuka created Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. While the former isn't the first platformer and the latter isn't the first action-adventure game, they set many standards for both genres. Miyamoto also created Donkey Kong in 1981, which is believed to be the first platformer with jumping as a gameplay mechanic, and it helped Nintendo gain international recognition after their first several arcade games, which were mostly clones of other games, failed to impress in the west.

>>7087109
Means he oversaw other men overseeing his babies

>>7087551
I know all that, I mean what did he actually do on those projects?

>>7087083
He directed OoT. It's a shame we never got to see his final directed Mario game he worked on for so long.

>>7086135
Miyamoto is Japanese

>>7088002
I know this is heckin' le edgy 4chan and all but that's seriously not cool. They're called "Asians" now.

>>7088009
"Asians" is a harmful term to an already disenfranchised group. The correct term in Ninja-Americans.

>>7082904
not about star fox.

>>7082781
That little chuckle the chick behind Miyamoto did, when he first did the thumbs down, it was cute!

>>7081785
Fuck you myamoto

>>7086434
>Super Mario World top
absolutely based

>>7087667
He would basically plan everything that the game would have.
Using Super Mario Bros. as an example, he could draw and design the enemies that Mario would fight e.g. Koopas and Bloopers, he could design the levels on square paper, write story elements, make mock ups of what the screen would look like, etc...
He didn't do any of the programming but he'd tell the programmers how the physics and controls would work, same thing with the artists who would convert concept art sketches into actual graphics to be drawn by the NES. He wouldn't compose the music but would supervise it, for example the main theme had to be sped up as its slow speed didn't match the gameplay - this could have been a decision that he did.

>>7087109
That means he still looked at that hot mess and said "this is fine" before pulling the trigger.

>>7087506
nasty, who would want to suck the blood of 35 year old men

>>7090309
Interdasting, thank you. Any idea roughly when his major, hands-on roles started to wane?
