Miyamoto is something else

he's been on a roll for so many years and he keeps delivering masterpieces, last but not least Skyward Sword.

behold the King

seriously, how can he be SO great?

He needs to use that creative side of him and make a fantastic new IP.

As far as single developers go nothing tops Miyamoto, but Michel Ancel is someone I respect almost just as much

BEHOLD!!! The creator of Rayman, Rayman 2, Beyond Good and Evil, and Rayman Origins

RESPECT HIM!!!!!!!!

He's cool.

Miyamoto is awesome and an all around nice guy from every account I've heard.

It's too bad I won't be playing the latest Zelda..Props and respect to the man though, I got much love for the guy.I think he still is the heart of this industry.Too bad it's being controlled by a bunch of souless hacks.

To be fair, Miyamoto didn't really have all that much to do with this game. Other people produced and directed it and he sure as hell didn't do any of the art, music or programming etc.

I have yet to see him innovate and create a new IP this gen...and he didn't really do much in that department last gen either. percech

I heart Miyamoto. Man is an expert at his craft.

The Pikmin games were perhaps some of the most unique and well made games last gen... Miyamoto created it and I am so greatful to him for it... Then their's the fact that Super Mario Galaxy 2 has more originality and new ideas than the vast majority of new IPs this gen. What's more important, a new IP that's derrivative or and old franchise that keeps trying new things?

he makes the same games over and over? or have wii standards really fallen so low?stereointegrity

haha so the guy makes masterpiece after masterpiece and people still complain....

I've never been able to get into any of his games.

He's unique in that a lot of his ideas don't stem from games themselves. This is a true rarity in game design these days.

You know pikmen wasn't his last IP, the "wii" series is a new IP wii sports wii fit, all new ip's!

he has a TEAM.campzor

What's your point?

[QUOTE="campzor"]he has a TEAM.Heirren

What's your point?

Yea Miyamoto is just a gaming legend and Icon nuff said.

He makes awesome games. Zelda is, bar none, the best series ever.

Him and Gabe Newwell are pretty awesome

The only Nintendo game that can really even be CONSIDERED to be like a movie was Twilight Princess. Even then, not really. I never noticed that before, but that's something nobody gives Ninty credit for. They let the gameplay flow, and don't try to make it like a movie.

He is THE man. Whether you like his games or not, chances are if you are gaming today you owe the man some respect.

Before I got an NES and a copy of SMB I only played games out of boredom. Gaming was just missing that special something. Because of Miyamoto gaming went from being a pass time to being a hobby that I have loved for the past 25 years. Hell, I probably wouldn't be working in the field that I'm in now (and love so much) if it weren't for him.

I must say I'm impressed by what Nintendo have put out with Skyward Sword. I haven't played it, but the fact that IGN is calling it the best Zelda game ever is something to write home about. To be fair, it is IGN, they think Uncharted 3 is better than Uncharted 2 and that MGS2's story is a mess that makes no sense and MGS3's is all over the place. That's two of their other reviews over the past month. Do I trust them? No. But I don't think that they would be able to say Skyward Sword is the best Zelda ever if it wasn't at least very very good.

LOL, keep telling yourself that :P

Yep. Instead of being an innovator like the old days where games were better because they weren't new, he's somehow managed to degrade into nothing but a worthless figurehead.

I don't sit there and enjoy a Zelda game because I liked Ocarina of Time. I sit there and enjoy a Zelda game because I like that game. If a Zelda game was bad, I wouldn't sit there and play it because I liked an older title.

Example: I didnt play Spirit Tracks because it didnt look like my cup of tea. Where the nostalgia on that one eh?
