I suppose that's true; Miyamoto, or Nintendo for that matter, likes doing new concepts with old series.

Difference is Miyamoto doesn't beat a dead horse that's been dying for 10 years.

I'm not suggesting that Nintendo shouldn't branch out with new franchises, but being responsible for stuff like Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Nintendogs in the last five years is evidence that Miyamoto is still coming up with new ideas and franchises, even if they're directed at the mainstream crowd and not your average basement dweller.

Yu's totally right. However, that doesn't mean Miyamoto is wrong.

Are you implying Suzuki's games are carefully designed worlds that immerse the player into universes with thoughtful (if brief) narratives while Miyamoto's games are pedestrian affairs that become best-sellers on hype and pandering to the lowest common denominator?
I'm baffled.

Yu has a job, silly. He's working on that dead-on-arrival Shenmue cellphone game.

To be fair working on Arcade games they usually have to upgrade the hardware so yes, he's allowed to say that he 'enjoys' working with different hardware.antonz said:
Nah I'm kidding. I love arcades and arcade games. I also enjoyed those games.
But the way the quote is presented, one can interpret that as implying that Miyamoto doesn't have a major say in how Nintendo's hardware is designed, or how games designed for them are, well, designed.
That quote was taken from 1Up's new interview with Suzuki. I'm pretty sure that it sounds like a backhanded praise when removed from the context of the rest of the interview. In that interview, Suzuki says that Miyamoto is the father of gaming, and he's the mother.
OP trying to stir up controversy. Shame on you.

I don't think Yu has a leg to stand on with claiming he's any kind of parental figure over gaming.
Arcade gaming, sure.

Well, he only responding to a question James Mielke brought up.
"Arcade gaming, sure."
Still gaming. No, screw that noise, I'm not gonna let it go with just that. He made Virtua Fighter. Virtua Fighter. He's the mother, or at least a very cool aunt.
edit: oops, double post. my baaaaad.

Sega arcade games are hugely important.
But they are a magnitude of less importance than Nintendo and its lord creator Miyamoto.
The likes of Yu Suzuki should be duking it out with Kojima, Sakaguchi, Mikami... not to mention western creators . He can't touch Miyamoto.
