Probably because it doesn't feed into the narrative he's trying to make.
Nintendo have been pretty much been releasing highly memorable and praised games year-on-year. Most of which have a big designer behind it or at least providing advice, whether it's Miyamoto, Sakurai, Aonuma or whoever.
But of course, times are changing. These people have been in the industry for decades. A new generation will need to take its place so they'll gradually move into coaching roles to pass on their knowledge and experiences.
Also, most games developed by large companies are hardly ever attributed to a single person. It's a lot more collaborative now as studios get bigger and more people are involved compared to back then (where most well-known designers got their popularity from) when it was couple of developers writing assembly.

- gcatalfamo 11y agoI'm not knowledgeable enough on this topic: can you explain what you mean? I am interested.
- michaelbuddy 11y agomight want to get knowledgeable on miyamoto as well as read the article for starters. Not really appropriate to ask a person to consolidate the current state of video games when plenty of knowledge is available on the internet easily.
- dragontamer 11y agoMiyamoto's creations: * Mario * Luigi * Peach * Bowser * Donkey Kong * Link * Ganondorf * Zelda * Fox McCloud * Olimar (and Pikmin) He's still around and is one of the major players of Nintendo. Another major figure is Masahiro Sakurai, who was the creator of Kirby and Super Smash Bros. Unfortunately, Miyamoto is spinning down his work and involvement in Nintendo.
