Joke post?Glad Miyamoto¡s rating is down. The man is a dinosaur creativity wise now and he has never been a good manager. Let him kill the Starfox brand for good and then let him go next year, please.

I wouldn't compare Miyamoto to Walt either. Miyamoto can actually be credited for his ideas, and he isn't a paranoid racist antisemitic jerk face.
Lighten up, the Disney/Miyamoto comparison isn't that big of a deal. There are some similarities to be had.
Let him kill starfox? Clown talk going on now
Wow, you really believe all the myths about that stuff huh? Walt can be credited for his ideas too. Hell, his first characters, like Oswald the lucky rabbit were stolen from him by Universal. You should educate yourself before making foolish sounding posts like that.
I fail to see how Miyamoto's performance (and approval) as an elected member of the Board of Directors and his input into Sticker Star are related in any meaningful way. I mean, if you want to hold a grudge for it, go ahead, but saying he deserved this drop of approval this year because of a game released in 2012 is laughably petty.
I'd love to see an alternate GAFholders Meeting purely for stuff like that.

After reading some of these numbers... Japanese investors are very easily pleased with their executives. If these were western companies, those numbers would be in the tank... along with the executives.
To emphasise the fact that this voting occurs across all public Japanese corporations, I gathered a list of voting results from Japanese game industry public corporations that would probably be of interest to people here.
Accompanied are each of the CEOs and their 2014 approval rating...or their approval rating the last time they held elections.

An interesting trend you will pick up is that Mr. Iwata at 77% / 81% actually represents one of the lowest approval rates with CEOs across the industry.

I mean, if you want to hold a grudge for it, go ahead, but saying he deserved this drop of approval this year because of a game released in 2012 is laughably petty.
I mean, really.
Sticker Star is, far as I can tell, the 2nd best selling Paper Mario game and probably will overtake the Wii one this year, too. If anything, Miyamoto's rating should be up because of it, at least from an investors point of view.Maybe that's going to far
Not even close. Miyamoto is a great designer and all, but he hasn't done a fraction of the things Walt Disney has done. Miyamoto is pretty much just an icon among gamers. Walt Disney is an icon to almost everyone.
Why is Capcom's CEO's approval rating so high?
Edit: Nvm, it was last election. Wonder if the approval has gone up or down since last. And by how much.
the vita and the wii u are one and the same. you can't really say something about one without saying it about the other. it's not like one's selling far worse or better than the other, either.
And yet only one is produced by a company that still remembers it exists. I'll let you guess which. I'd say that's more of a sign of a product without an audience, when the company that made it can't even decide what the hell to do with it. But this is rather off-topic.
And I see the "people who voted him down sold their shares" thing has set itself as a talking point without the factual evidence, just as I predicted. The people spouting it as fact are hardly surprises, either. Oh well, another year of suffering through someone's preconceived mis-information, I guess.

Hasn't Nintendo bought many of its own shares recently? Or was it the year before?It's not hard factual evidence for the claim that "people who voted him down sold their shares", but a lot of people sold their shares.

Glad Miyamoto¡s rating is down. The man is a dinosaur creativity wise now and he has never been a good manager. Let him kill the Starfox brand for good and then let him go next year, please.
To be honest, I imagine a GAF version of the a shareholders' meeting running very much like the skit at the beginning of the E3 Digital Event, with extra snark and more comments about Iwata's health issue being "convenient".
There are real criticisms to be made of Iwata, Miyamoto, and the rest of the Board of Directors, all well represented in this thread and across the internet, but 'They changed Paper Mario' and 'They don't make F-Zero games anymore' are not it.
Do we even know which board member shoulders which responsibilitys besides vague terms?
Criticising Iwata is easy, he is the CEO afterall.
But Miyamoto, I have no idea what that guy really is responsible for, besides killing my desire to own sticker star.
Why is Iwata's up?

"So, going forward, taking into account the current state of the Wii U and 3DS in the modern marketplace... what is your policy on tipping?"
I feel like I've been reading the same Nintendo threads online since the N64 era.

A lot of the Yamauchi shares were absorbed into Nintendo and thus had no vote.
This seems the most (only?) reasonable explanation for the decrease of total number of votes.
And I see the "people who voted him down sold their shares" thing has set itself as a talking point without the factual evidence, just as I predicted. The people spouting it as fact are hardly surprises, either. Oh well, another year of suffering through someone's preconceived mis-information, I guess.
So, who vote for this? I thought it was the board of directors.

How can investors even do educated votes without that knowledge?
Or am I missing some information?

I really hope Iwata takes notice of Sony's early success this generation and realizes that raw hardware power will always attract third party publishers and gamers alike.

This really baffles me. What has Iwata done in the last year to warrant a 3% increase in approval? 3DS sales are down and Wii U sales continue to stay in the shitter.
Do investors really believe in QOL? Smash for Wii U? The NFC figures? Or is it something else?
Lets say QOL is a monumental failure, and Smash/NFC/Kart are unable to meaningfully increase Wii U hardware sales by this time next year. Do we see the approval rating fall then? Because going into this shareholder meeting I was fucking sure his approval would be down from last year, even slightly.
