Hmmm...
*Googles Takash Tezuka to see the list of games he worked on*
...
Don't a lot of Japanese games do this too? Or am I mistaken?

Not A source, EAD Ninja is THE source

So how long was it that the 2002 structure was visibly effective to us the consumers. What new strategies, management and philosophies came from it other than the inmediate closing of R&D1 and R&D2.
Well, i found a source for the 'news' of Takashi Tezuka 'becoming' General Manager of EAD.
Except it's from the past and it already happened.
*vomits*
Yay, linear set-piece experiences!
*dies*
I feel the same way. Just let japanese games be what they are, no need to ruin every single thing on the planet just to satisfy male egos and tastes in western countries. Im from the US btw. I hate the constant need to "westernize" everything.
I don't follow. For instance, Miyamoto constrained Retro's projects for the GameCube to get Metroid Prime.
He was with Nintendo before they were fully committed to videogames. Miyamoto was given creative freedom with minimal financial risk to the company, so he was pretty satisfied with his position.Has Miyamoto developed games for other company's besides Nintendo? Has he been tempted to join other gaming company's?

I don't think its about money with them. They have plenty of it. Its about control and philosophy. Western developers are constantly switching Studios and Nintendo has a talent Pool structure that is very different from the single teams in the west. Retro helping to finish Mario kart 7 is an example of this.
It's a longterm investment. The Yen could drop noticeably in the next few years. And to me, it seems like Nintendo (Iwata) hasn't figured out a good longterm strategy for western development yet.
lol
I have always associated Miyamoto with Nintendo, but since you see many western devs jumping ship frequently, I thought, why would it be any different with Nintendo devs? maybe it's a Japanese culture thing?
I'm very ignorant of Japanese culture so bare with me.
No bearing whatsoever. And what contempt by devs/pubs?
Hmmm...

Please be true

*fingers crossed* Leave Miyamoto, leave! Just take a long vacation, you don't even need to focus on small resource games. We love and appreciate you contribution to gaming and all that, truly!
small resource games is an awesome place for miyamoto to be. i think he wants to get back to the way teams were in the 80s. what's so wrong about that?
The answer is yes, it's a Japanese culture thing. Employment in a company is typically for life.lol

Exactly, he should have a small team of people to make little games with whatever innovation he wants instead of trying to shove things like blowing into DKCR. He could probably direct some pretty cool Wii U shop games.
Wait blowing was Miyamoto's idea?

Source?EAD Ninja knows what he's talking about. He's been around since pre GAF. He's been vetted and proven correct on numerous occasions over the years.
Baseless speculation.What makes people say that Nintendo will purchase Platinum and/or Sega?
