He was clearly never serious about it in the first place.
I actually think he never was, how was the exact quote? I think it was in the lines of answering a question about how would he feel developing a Nintendo IP, for instance Starfox, and him answering "well, it would be great", nothing more, yet the Internet had to take it out of proportion of course.
Edit: And I seriously don't get the manchild claims, he uses twitter as an obvious form of enjoyment, I haven't seen a single tweet in which he actually changes something gameplay or design wise in his games, or even let the smallest suggestion change anything, much less drop the actual development of a real game (like some other people...), his internet persona is obviously a joke.
KAMIYA PLEASE
