"SmugDarkLoser said: To me, yes it does. I think the SMG soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks out there."Fair enough.
"SmugDarkLoser said:5. The Lost Odyssey song you picked in the video was awful. Why didn't you just give us a One-winged Angel or one of the original ff themes?"
If you have any idea where that is played an all, you'd be saying that's better than one winged angel.
"AgentJ said:Well then what you are really saying is that the event the song is played over is nice. That doesn't make the actual musical piece good. I could play the Pokemon theme over Aeris death scene and that wouldn't necessairily make the Pokemon theme a good song (it is tho)"SmugDarkLoser said:If you have any idea where that is played an all, you'd be saying that's better than one winged angel.

Of course they did but i stopped being a fan of him when i realized 10 years ago most of the games he makes atleast the bigger ones are just remakes.
Legend of zelda franchise is just one remake after another with Zelda 2 links adventure the only original property.
Mario franchise beyond the none series ones are just remakes with all most the exact same story every single time.

Mario is seen for the first time in 3D on the Nintendo 64. Super Mario 64 not only boasts surpassing 11.8 million copies sold, but it is also one of the best-selling video games in the USA. It is constantly praised as one of the greatest games of all time.
Overview
Inarguably the Nintendo 64's most anticipated launch title, Super Mario 64 was released on September 29, 1996. It has sold around 11 million copies, making it the best-selling Nintendo 64 game as well as the second most popular game on the Wii's Virtual Console. In making the leap to 3D, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto retooled the series' trademark gameplay to focus as much on exploration as traditional action. Super Mario 64 is hailed as having revolutionized the platformer genre on its release."Heres the real question. Has Miyamoto ever made a "Bad" game? a lot of the creators on the list have been involved in some shit, but Miyamoto has come through without a wart."
Are we joking here?
Wii Music is a game the same way Jam Sessions is a game. It isn't. In almost any measurement of what makes something a game, Wii Music fails. There is no score, there is no winner, there is no end. Wii Music is nothing but a tool, and in that regard, it isn't bad. It's no more of a game than Korg DS 10 or Jam Sessions.
@SmugDarkLoser
It annoys me when people don't give Miyamoto ENOUGH credit. People never look further than th credits in the back of the manual in deciding what Miyamoto's role was in a game. The Structure at Nintendo doesn't lend itself well to the typical western ideas of Producer and director so you can't assume Miyamoto's level of involvement from that alone. In many interviews it has been stated that Miyamoto's involvement in Pikmin was half director/ half producer (see this interview: http://www.miyamotoshrine.com/theman/interviews/102701.shtml) and he came up with the basic game design to begin with! He was VERY heavily invoved with Ocarina of Time (directoral and producer roles) and he also had a large degree of involvement with Super Mario Galaxy (See the Iwata asks interviews).
I'm not trying to take away from the momentous achievements of such greats as Eiji Aonuma and Takashi Tezuka who obviously deserve a lot of credit, but it really annoys me when people don't give Miyamoto all the credit he deserves.
