I remember the Donkey Kong thing, but I didn't know about all the Argonaut stuff with Starfox and Mario 64. Holy shit.
GAFfots dispute the video here, because :bow MIYAMOTO-SAMA :bow2 CAN DO NO WRONG (http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=227346768).
Unrelated bonus LOL blast from the past:

One of the comments said that the Nintendojo guy, Nathan Heckel, ended up moving to Japan. I checked and found his twitter account...with some messages in Japanese. Guess he finally got better at it. :lol
-
Didn't Oscar(peace be upon him) once confirm that Miyamoto is indeed a dick?
Yes.
Doesn't really bother me either way, dude made cool games and that's all I want from him.
Also yes.
-
The guy who asked the question at the Nintendo press conference is Cheesemeister on gaf. That moment probably really fueled him to get better at the language.
-
I didn't know about the Argonaut stuff, which was pretty underhanded, but I thought it was pretty well acknowledged that Miyamoto tended to have...let's say a "firm hand."
-
I've met him a few times and he's nice. I'm friends with a journo who knows him pretty well and says he's nice. I also have a really good friend that works with him and says he's nice. Dunno why people want to tear the man down based on incorrect conjecture.
-
Well yeah. He's pretty much Kutaragi, but behaves like a 12yo in public so everyone likes him.
-
Well he did make Wii Music, so fuck that guy.
-
I see the anti-Nintendo spin machine is out in full force to try and discredit Switch and Zelda before they even release.
It's like you don't even remember when Miyamoto came out to E3 with a sword and shield. Get your facts straight.

TBF, his fans are Nintendo fans. Hard not to be a dick when you got fans like that.

Myamoto hasnt been relevant since the 90s like Nintendo
-
Nintendo sold 154 million DS systems. Sod off.
-
So? Kids and manchild toy.
When is the last time Nintendo reshaped gaming? Nintendo 64 era.
-
Miyamoto is a bad boy? :-*
-
Miyamoto is a cool dude to chill with
Miyamoto is NOT the dude you want to be your executive producer

I don't know why anyone would expect him to be easy to work with.

Cause Youtube money and the guy's got enough research to do it, even if it is shaky. I've heard the DMA and Body Harvest stuff was true before, though it was more that Miyamoto is a genuinely good guy who wanted teams to succeed, but he tries to shape others ideas into a more coherent vision to him and it caused conflict between NOA who thought the game was perfect as is versus Nintendo Japan who really wanted it to be an RPG that DMA got caught in the middle of. Politics is a bitch.
The DKC quote I would say was iffy because I remember one of the Rare team leads at the time say in an interview before that Miyamoto and Rare had a really mischievous sense of humor and Nintendo's Japan staff copped onto Rare's humor very quickly (As Nintendo staffers admired a lot of the UK home computing Scene and had imported ZX Spectrums to see what that region was up to and there was a lot of admiration for British culture in their offices). So Miyamoto saying "Your game is mediocre" could have easily been banter between himself and Tim Stamper that got missed in translation. Especially when you hear the story that Rare used Grabbed By The Ghoulies to fuck with Miyamoto on purpose because Miyamoto hated crude humor and would always send back builds saying "Game needs tweaks. Stop putting crude humor in". Which only made Rare hide it more so he would find it or make it more blatant to annoy him. Nintendo were likely going to release the game as is anyway so it was really just them fucking about and bantering with Nintendo.
Which made it funnier because the game was basically finished when Microsoft bought Rare. MS loved the crude humor and told them if it got an E-Rating it would stay in. And it did get an E-Rating. Despite outright Hentai references and god knows how many masturbation jokes.

I'd like to believe he was serious when he said that dkc quote bc that game really sucks

I wish Nintendo would explore new directions, new styles. I'm getting quite tired of getting the same set of games every generation since the SNES era.
1 - A new mario platformer
2- A set of games featuring Mario and the crew playing different sports
3- Mario Kart
4- A new Zelda
5- A new Metroid
Those games sell well, and are good games, but I wish they would break out of the same pattern. What about a new arcade style F1 racing game like the old F1 Race games on the famicom and Gameboy? A new excitebike? A new arcade style Ice hockey game (WITHOUT MARIO)? A new fighting game franchise based on Urban Chambion? Then again, all my suggestions are based on remakes of mostly classic titles..
It's a winning formula, but damn..

waiting for ndf to come and talk about animal corssing, wii sports and other non games
-
animal crossing is enjoyed by old people, manchildren, children, women, toddlers and skinny jeans wearing twenty something virgins
-Brandnew

3- Mario Kart
MK8 is the best, aside from the battle mode. :(
5- A new Metroid
Metroid's dead now brah.
A new excitebike?
Excite Truck/Bots were super rad, man. Too bad they sold like shit.
Nintendo's publishing output on the Wii U was all over the place TBH.
Splatoon, Fatal Frame 5, Devil's Third, Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, Xenoblade X, Ninja Gaiden 3, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Pokken Tournament.
All of these were outside Nintendo's previous wheelhouse but they said "fuck it" with the Wii U.
And see where it got them. :yeshrug

Huh?
Animal Crossing is a lot of fun. New Leaf was a return to form.

Well duh :)
Only way I played FFT and PE was pirated as they never got released here (also Lunar SSSC)

Animal Crossing is a game for splergs that are too autistic to play an mmo with actual people

There are no points or levels, just a myriad of sights and sounds, places and activities...all ready to explore. Spend your time passing new ordinances—or going fishing. Hang out at a coffee shop or visit a tropical island. It's up to you. Your game is what you make of it—and personalizing your world is part of the fun. Create cool patterns for clothing or furniture, build new structures in your town, design gardens and museum displays, and so much more. Time passes in the world of Animal Crossing just as it does in real life. Celebrate holidays and see the seasons change. Meet new visitors or get gifts from your neighbors.
Fo real tho :lol

Animal Crossing is the miniature zen garden of the gaming world. :heartbeat

Animal Crossing is not a game. It's a mortgage repayment simulator.

miyamoto is right about dkc :yeshrug
DKC2 is much, much better. We liked DKC because we were kids. :yeshrug You didn't know any better.

Agreed. DKC1 and especially 3 were pretty crap.
DKC2 is hot though.

Nah, in Sim City exciting things like monster attacks, riots, or nuclear war can happen.
Animal Crossing is boring and for boring people who like boring things. Just admit your failing, accept your L, move on.

The funny thing Miyamoto loves crude humor and is super into corny ass DAD JOKES.
Yeah that entire YouTube video was completely wrong, except for Rockstar hating Nintendo. That's right but also had nothing to do with Miyamoto. I really like Larry Bundy Jr's videos so he gets a pass.
I still think it's super weird to see tabloid gossip on game developers, lol.

Sure.
Whether it's a game or not is irrelevant to me, I enjoy playing it and there's 27 million others like me out there, including my sisters and niece. Continue to yell at clouds while we enjoy ourselves. :umad

The level design is more thoughtful and the per-level gimmicks are actually fun and varied. They also nailed the balance with ridable animals/animal transformation, and had the right amount of collectables (DK3 and 64 can go suck a dick.)
The level themes were also really top notch, matched with some of the best game music ever by David Wise.

What is going on, why can't we make fun of Wii Music instead?

I find DKC2 to be just as overrated as DKC1, to be honest. And I have nostalgia for both.
DKC1 is just bland as fuck. Also Diddy + Dixie >>>>> DK + Diddy.

Donkey sucks. Dixie all day erry day. I didn't buy DKCR because no Dixie.
Also lol at this animal crossing special fellow out shitfest in 20 fucking 16. Even segata has turned around on the series and likes it now.
-
If anything 2016 is the year we can tell it how it is, Animal Crossing will never be a real game

You missed out then. And I have no nostalgia for the originals since I never played them. Its a seriously great game.

Yeah, I bet that Ghoulies thing was really that he pushing them into putting even more of the crude humor as a private joke to see what they actually could really get away with if they hid it well enough if he noted it in his emails to the dev, but the project lead didn't tell the team that it was a prank (bro).
I guess people are running out of ideas for interesting youtube content though. Enough innuendo and rumors and you got a video with an interesting subject.

So you want them to go from metroid to dkc to metroid again? I want them on something new
-

I don't doubt it's great but tropical freeze has Dixie is and is apparently better so win win. Why play the original when you can play the superior sequel with more characters

I'm sorry but arguing whether or not ac is a game in 2016 when I'm in my 30's is a pretty low priority and the fact you're willing to do it despite having a kid makes me think less of you
-
I wouldn't say TF is better, necessarily. It has more stuff in it but I liked how stripped down to the basics Returns was.
-
If anything 2016 is the year we can tell it how it is, Animal Crossing will never be a real game
Lol who cares. You're a walking L at this point lololol.
-
I didn't say anything about working on a new ip. I said new as in, a different franchise. Going back to metroid would be boring but I do want a new 2d one.
-
In looking into the issue, it's hard to say if the whole Argonaut thing holds any water. There isn't a lot info out there, and virtually all of it comes from latter-day interviews by two former Argonaut devs. And it's entirely possible that the reason, or at least part of the reason, the Yoshi platformer wasn't picked up for full development by Nintendo was because they were already doing early design work on Super Mario 64 and didn't want it to interfere with that.
-
why would rare be trying to sneak in crude humor in ghoulies when Nintendo already let them publish conker?
and i thought body harvest ended up being turned into Space Station Silicon Valley?
-
and i thought body harvest ended up being turned into Space Station Silicon Valley?
Both games were in development at the same time.
-
ah ok
-
why would rare be trying to sneak in crude humor in ghoulies when Nintendo already let them publish conker?
Conker was intentional gross out humor and a send up of the platforming genre at the time. Ghoulies was supposed to be the next big E-Rated game for Rare and Nintendo that would be aimed at the kids audience like DKC was (As Kameo was heading for a T-Rating) but the fact that the name "Grabbed By The Ghoulies" even passed Nintendo's radar without question says they were either incredibly oblivious or in on the joke from the start.
-
Rare probably submitted the name to Nintendo and they immediately sent out 20,000 "WILL YOU BUY OUR DEV" emails to various other publishers.
After doing due diligence and discovering the name of the project, all potential buyers dropped out except for Microsoft. Because Microsoft is dumb as shit.
-
Actually isnt Animal Crossing a N64 "game" too? What big franchise/ip did Nintendo create since then?
-
I didn't say anything about working on a new ip. I said new as in, a different franchise. Going back to metroid would be boring but I do want a new 2d one.
What would you like to see them work on, then?
I'm not really sure. I wanted them to do Zelda before BOTW was announced. If BOTW sucks my answer will be Zelda.
-
This is all pretty light shit for considering someone an asshole. If the worst he did was undermine some of his peers and repurpose some of their work two decades ago he's pretty close to the bottom of the list of the scummiest people who's work I enjoy.

SPACE STATION SILICON VALLEY IS SO GOOD OMG
