I still think Nintendo needs to keep with their very impressive I.Ps and keep up the philosophy NINTENDO is where fun lives!
nothing's gonna change on that front^^

Nintendo will never internally develop a game like that, it would be like Pixar making a Rambo movie. Hopefully what we will see is more games like Eternal Darkness and Bayonetta 2, where they work with an external studio on more adult titles.
It's one thing to want more story in games, but when you say writing as good as TLoU to me this implies a huge change in tone from Nintendo games and I find that unacceptable.
If Nintendo did cutscenes, writing and story then it looks something like Kid Icarus Uprising and The Wonderful 101, which is high quality and I'm OK with that style but it doesn't help to bring in new audiences.
Miyamoto has great ideas, no one can dispute that, but restricting Nintendo's whole development effort strictly toward his guidelines at expense of creativity freedom and variety wasn't really a good decision. It's okay if he has his own visions, wants be different from everyone else and go after it, but not really at expense of different approaches than his.
Based on his work, as well as his interviews over the years, I'm very glad that Nintendo is giving Koizumi more power at the company. I like his views on gaming and, frankly, he's probably Nintendo's most talented creator in the post-Miyamoto/Tezuka/Sakamoto era. Plus, he loves the GOAT named Zelda II lol. The only downside is that his influence will probably be somewhat limited, since the Tokyo office hasn't really expanded much over the years and it's still very small compared to the Kyoto office. So, it seems that Eguchi is the real king at EPD right now.
As for Miyamoto, I have an enormous respect for his work in the 80s and 90s. The man wasn't just great, he was a pioneer and his work as a game designer is part of the reason why I became a gaming enthusiast. But I'd be lying if I said that his current modus operandi resonates with me. More importantly, though, I think that, while he used to be an amazing designer, he was less than competent in his role as a general manager. As much I respect his old work, I hope that his departure will lead to changes in Nintendo's software (and no, I don't care for cut-scenes and cinematic games).
What's wrong with pick-up-and-play? If anything, we need MORE pick up and play games these days. I'd hate to see games Rhythm Heaven go away or banished to mobile.I'd like to see more high-profile projects from Nintendo. Meatier, single player, experiences that introduce new fictional universes to explore. In other words, fewer mini-game collections, party games and simple pick & play stuff, more IPs in the vein of Zelda and Metroid.
More variety. Ever since the GameCube era, Nintendo's designers have narrowed their focus exclusively on overly cutesy stuff for the kids/family market. This was a very disappointing change for me because, frankly, outside of Mario and Donkey Kong, most of my favorite Nintendo IPs didn't follow that route, I preferred stuff like classic Zelda, Metroid, F-Zero and Wave Race. I really hope Nintendo's designers will get to make more IPs like these again.
Hopefully, Nintendo will now stop putting so much emphasis on input gimmicks and quirky gameplay "twists" in their games. Nintendo's output was at its best when the selling point of their games came though actual game design and presentation. That's where I'd like to see them focusing again.
Lastly, I really hope that, unlike Miyamoto, Koizumi and Eguchi aren't going to blame everything on "difficulty" and "complexity". Games like Minecraft, Elder Scrolls and League of Legends are much more demanding and complex than what Nintendo makes these days and, yet, they are played by tens of millions of people around the world. When a game underperforms, there are lots of other factors that come into play than just "difficulty" and "complexity".
Carnt wait to see all the Nintendo is doomed people eating lots of Crow when the new innovative games arrive! New fresher blood with great new ideas! Coupled with the experience of Miyamoto and other older wiser and exp mentoring people = huge success.
Kimi knows exactly what he is doing!

Fake fake fake (or to be precise not Zelda 2 remake for SNES).There was a thread a few days ago that had some screenshots in it of the Zelda 2 SNES prototype.
I never knew about this

Nintendo needs more splatoon and less star fox zero.
This is great news
Miyamotos inability to think of ways on how to innovate with starfox and bring it to modern standards other than input gimmicks reflects the worst parts of Nintendo's approach to gaming.
Splatoon represents the best. An innovative, pure fun game with beautiful colorful graphics, amazing gameplay, and modern online 8implementation
I have alot of respect for Miyamoto, but I'm glad he won't be calling the shots anymore.
The constant need for gimmicks and simplifying gameplay and story needs to go away.
I'd prefer Kongcharted: Donkey's FortuneThe young retro employees will turn Startropics into a Nintendo style tomb raider/uncharted and I will be fine with that cause it'll have Nintendo Magic
Hopefully these young guys like Metroid.
Hopefully, they're not too much into twitch FPS and covershooters. >.>
Why should I temper anything i liked most of what's on wii u. The quality of games was a class! But like sometimes you have to be selective.
I bought most titles so if they have that quality and a new innovation I will be day one so No I am excited and won't lose that.
I have faith in Nintendo.
You have to understand that I used to be totally PlayStation one time but nintendo impressed me. I only have had wii u since Mario kart 8 but it's cool as i have had more fun in that time playing online and local co op than I had in PlayStation 2 or 3.
Nintendo's gameplay is in another level.
They showed what they could do with wii u Zelda and now pokemon go gives an idea what could be coming next
Nintendo needs more splatoon and less star fox zero.
They need more of both because both are excellent games.
