Miyamoto a friendlier Steve Jobs - Star Fox developer

I like how everyone is giving Jobs credit for Apples success despite Wozniak doing all the real work before leaving the company, all Jobs had to do was run a good marketing campaign.

ha ''where's the game'', like where's the beef.

Who care about about someone saying Miyamoto's better the Jobs, most of us already assumed that. I was more interested in the fact that Cuthbert has "ideas" for Star Fox.

I think people give Jobs a bit more credit than he deserves. Take the iPod, for example. Jobs might have had the idea of an Apple MP3 player, but that's not exactly a visionary idea considering MP3 players already existed well before the iPod came out. All Jobs did was tell a team of people to make one, and shoot them down until they came up with an interface that was fancy enough for his liking. It's not like he ACTUALLY CREATED the damn thing.

I'm pretty sure this comment was meant as a compliment, but given Jobs' notoriety for being a jerk (and his lack of, well, any accomplishments other than getting people to buy into the cult of Apple) and Apple's notoriety for selling overpriced junk, it just ends up sounding like an insult.

miyamato much better than that arrogant and overrated steve jobs.

Conclusion from the title: Steve Jobs is not friendlier.

Except Miyamoto is better in just about every way. Just look at that beautiful smile. 

A new Star Fox game with Cuthbert at the helm, please!

Why do some of you see this as an insult? From an industry perspective, Jobs was a very competent leader of a large, productive company. His attitude may have put some people off, but he produced profitable results. Cuthbert calling Miyamoto a friendlier version of him isn't a bad thing at all.

Shigeru Miyamoto has to be a tough leader. Nintendo wouldn't have lasted this long without being "a friendlier" Steve Jobs. Nintendo is a videogames only company Apple, Microsoft, Sony have other things to fall back on. Miyamoto runs a tight ship but he has to. Seems someone is sourgrapes that their game idea was shot down?

Even if it makes him sound like a jerk, I have to agree with Miyamoto. A good story is fine, but I'm sick of cinematics and cut scenes popping up everywhere instead of or getting in the way of solid gameplay.

Saying he was just friendlier is kind of insulting to him

Jobs was talentless hack who's only skills were getting people to buy overpriced and trendy trash and screwing over your business partner who had real talent. And lets not forget the lovely rumor that Jobs bought his way to the top of the transplant list for a liver.

That's ma shiggy!

Cuthbert should be fired Jobs style for insulting Miyamoto. A lot of people don't seem to know just how mean Steve really was. They seem to think instead that he was the Mesiah of computer electronics. This guy is upset because Miyamoto asked him where the hell is the game and rejected his game-less idea. I would ask that same question too if I was in the business of selling games. 

Miyamoto isn't similar at all, just about every way Miyamoto is the exact opposite to Jobs. "Friendlier" is putting it too lightly, friendly and business is just two different things. If it was Jobs instead of Miyamoto, Cuthbert would have been fired on the spot for not understanding Nintendo's philosophy. The way Miyamoto handles employees, handles projects, handles ideas, handles just regular fans, his openness and inspiration is exactly opposite to how Jobs was while achieving in similar goals; not to mention Miyamoto has a successful family life. It would be more accurate to say that "Miyamoto a even more friendly Bill Gates".

Honestly, that sounds like an overstatement. There are many creative, great minds in the game industry.

A surprisingly accurate comparison. Long live Miyamoto! 

I've always wanted to be a fly on the wall during creative meetings that involve Shigeru Miyamoto. A Japanese fly of course, so I could understand what he was saying.

I like Miyamoto's approach to creativity. He goes straight into the work and not worry about the negative attention from the public. He works for the love of his product and not just make something for quick money. Love is how he shaped part of the gaming industry. I hope he continues to succeed for a long time.

Shigeru Miyamoto is one of the people I want to meet in my life time. His work is simply unmatched in this industry.

I wish Miyamoto would actually, truly make a game soon.

Doesn't matter the size, just anything. 

I'm glad Miyamoto is still going in toda's industry. He's a more positve outlook on things.

Just go and make Star Fox, please.

Dont know why, but the word Friendlier was a tongue twister to me while I read the headline.

I wish I could be friends with Miyamoto, he seems like the kind of guy that is just very friendly.

This is news why?

Imagine what the gaming world will be like when he dies... I'll mourn him everyday.

Miyamoto is god

Amazing talented man.
