remembering this video i watched about the history of Mario 3 that ended with sentimental music and text saying "Shigeru Miyamoto is considered one of the greatest game designers of all time"
#how can you say that in a video about MARIO 3 OF ALL GAMES. TEZUKA'S BABY
#there was another one that credited him with Ocarina of Time's themes
#like he hasnt spent the last 20 years explicitly denouncing the idea of themes and stories in games and the standards OoT set for Zelda
#god
#ok it's time for the Miyamoto Rant
#he's the grandfather of modern video games
#but he's a drunk barely functional grandfather whose primary contribution was conceiving the infant
#he's been taking credit for other people's work the moment he got promoted
#his actual game design looks like donkey kong arcade zelda 1 color splash star fox zero
#even in mario the actual physics and interactions that made the game what it was were created by several different devs...
#he never Richard Garriot'ed any of “his” games and wasnt even a proper dev on the real groundbreakers like Mario 3 and World
#he hasnt gotten his hands dirty since the early famicom days with primitive games like Mario and Zelda 1
#absolutely he played a vital role in the history of the medium
#directing the projects that spearheaded the transition from tablegame-like repetitive rounds to more art-like full experiences
#but he wasnt responsible for the later masterpieces people tend to credit him for. Mario 3. World. 64. Star Fox. OoT. Pikmin. and so on
#in fact he often actively hindered projects and caused them to drag. It didnt start with color splash. See the history of World and 64
#I'd call him Japan's Peter Molyneux but honestly he's closer to George Lucas. His underlings often ended up actively working AGAINST him
#anyways.... there's my rant about the cult of Shiggy M
#he finally had his free reign influence neutered after his Wii U era travesties... better late than never
#next time on Video Game Myths.... Eiji Aonuma is an illustrator who has never written a line of code in his life
#Masahiro Sakurai's game design youtube channel is an attempt to restore his reputation
#after his last projects earned him universal praise from investors as a producer but destroyed his reputation as a game designer
#Reggie Fils-Aime's post retirement attempts to wash his hands of the failures that transpired under his leadership and cement his legacy
#and how Satoru Iwata was personally responsible for the company's early 2010s crisis through dishonest and anticonsumer business philosophy
#(and how he spent the rest of his life attempting to right his wrongs and lead the company back into alignment with Yamachi's vision RIP)
#as for Yamachi himself....
#I think the fact that he kept the company free of yakuza influence in the era that they OWNED the industry is testament to his principles.
#Yamachi is the one Nintendo exec name i respect
#also shoutouts to Kondo the one guy at nintendo who ACTUALLY personally creates the things he's credited with
