Miyamoto - Aounma, Koizumi, Konno and Eguchi don't need me anymore to maintain Nintendo quality

GN Version 4.0
Coming from an ONM interview with Shigeru Miyamoto...

"As you saw at our presentation at E3, Mr Aonuma chased me off stage... he doesn't need me any more! The final responsibility for the title still comes down to me and I'm still involved in the games, but i'm definitely able to leave the series up to him in a way. I don't have to look at every minute detail of every game any more. I know there's going to be the level of quality that we expect under his supervision.

Similarly we have Koizumi-san, who's the producer or the Mario series and it's the same type of situation. And certainly Konno-san with Mario Kart, too. And Mr Eguchi, producer of the Animal Crossing series. These are the main producers that we've trained who are talented enough and we can allow them to oversee the project and manage all the details and still maintain the Nintendo level of quality."


Pretty strong words from Miyamoto for his fellow employees. Aonuma said he has been looking for the approval of Miyamoto on his Zelda titles. Looks like he just got a pretty high compliment on them!
