Miyamoto Misses — The 5 Worst Games From The World’s Greatest Game Designer

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto is the world's greatest video game designer. That doesn't mean he hasn't made his share of duds though.

"The man's track record isn't spotless though -- despite his sterling reputation, Miyamoto's turned out a handful of stinkers throughout his career."

SACRILEGE! HOW DARE THEE SPEAK SUCH A CURSED LIE!!!!!

Draperc4318d ago

All bad jokes aside, I don't think Miyamoto actually had any involvement in the development of wii music. Sure he performed a song from legend of zelda during E3 but that's it I think.

JonahNL4318d ago

True. Probably all he did was keep an eye on things every now and then, but that's it.

Hideo Kojima is the world's greatest developer, not this guy and Hideo had no "misses".

@ZidaneNL

Likewise, not suprisingly most of Myamoto's work is Mario related. Yes, he also made Zelda and a couple of other great games, but Kojima has much better games.

JonahNL4318d ago

Not surprising when most of his work is Metal Gear related. Yes, he also made Zone of the Enders and a couple of other great games, but Miyamoto has worked on way more franchises.

ChunkyLover534318d ago

Are you high? Miyamoto created Pikmen, Zelda, Donkey Kong and Mario. I'm not saying he is the best, but I think its safe to say he has been far more creative than Hideo Kojima.

The easiest way to tell who is more important is by looking at where the main companies would be without them. Without Miyamoto Nintendo has NOTHING, without Kojima, we are without a couple of solid games, but nothing like Zelda or Mario. Hell, the last game Kojima made was 4+ years ago.

I_LOVE_MYSELF4318d ago

I do not think Zelda2 is THAT bad. Actually, I liked it.It is certainly the weakest Zelda game I have personally played, but the franchise is so strong that it's weakest game is still good.

I have never played the other titles, but it's not hard to see why Wii Music is on there.

JonahNL4318d ago

Agreed, Zelda II is not as good as the others, but it's not bad either. Besides, it was the second game in the entire series when it first came out. There wasn't a standard yet.

3GenGames4318d ago (Edited 4318d ago )

I'm sorry, but if it didn't have ZELDA in the for sure, as the game just sucked. The graphics were squarer and more plain than Star Tropics, the controls were TERRIBLE in the caves with the cheap AI, although the sound in the game was GREAT. But, all those considered, still adds up to be a terrible game, as it all isn't based on sound sadly.

George Sears4318d ago

All in all, I'm glad he redeemed himself.

DivineAssault 4318d ago

Zelda 2 was one of my all time favs.. Its blasphemy to say it sucked... It had a darker tone kinda like twilight did & was pretty tough.. great game

Sgt_Slaughter4318d ago

The Best there was, The Best there is, and The Best there ever will be...

Miyamoto 4 Life!!

DivineAssault 4317d ago

"The Hitman" lol...The pink n black attack is back?? No; "The $hit is wack, & that is that" fits better for Ninny.. Miyamotto is a genius when it comes to level design & puzzles so I must give the man credit for his work.. It'd be nice if he helped co-design @ least 1 M-rated game with a AAA 3rd party team & make a Ninny exclusive... Like they used to with rare when they made "Golden eye, Perfect Dark, & Killer Instinct."

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno5d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
