Who do you consider to be the best retro Japanese devs?
>>12633361Mark Cerny (Sonic 2)
>>12633361They nail the credits for basically all of them but Miyazaki is only credited for Elden Ring?
>>12633363/thread
>>12633361Anyone but Shiteru Miyackoto
>>12633361I don't see how anyone comes close to Myamoto in terms of the number of highly-rated games, iconic franchises started, raw sales numbers, or cultural impact. Every other dev on that list is tied to only one or two franchises, with only some of the games in each actually being good. Almost everything Miyamoto has touched has turned to gold going back to the first Donkey Kong.
I like Fumito Ueda, people call his games pretentious but I think they're great
>>12633361Nobody beats pic related. Followed closely by Tsuneki Ikeda, the father of modern shmups.
>>12633361Muthafrikkin tendies
>>12633361In this day and age, we have true solo developers raking in the cash. I don't get this whole personality cult thing. They might be the “creative ones,” but I don't worship them. Unfortunately, this is the worst place for this kind of discussion.
>>12633361Kawazu
>>12633361Tezuka, Eguchi, Iwata
I just can't stand Kojima.He's such a obvious hack and fart sniffing poser filmmaker wannabe.Yucky!
>>12633383/thread
Yoshiaki Koizumi (Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening, Mario Galaxy)
>>12633383>can code>can design>can engineer>can build an entire arcade computer board from scratch>can program all the tools to program the arcade boardYu Suzuki wins every time. Everyone is a fucking hack and a fraud compared to that giga chad
He's not #1 but he's certainly up there, and to suggest otherwise is pure contrarianism. His career path as a director speaks for itself. Resident Evil 2 - Devil May Cry - Viewtiful Joe - Okami - Bayonetta - The Wonderful 101.
Sakurai has a stronger track record than Miyamoto.
Sakura only make 1 great game (smash melee)The other stuff range from decent to straight up bad so no his not the best video game creator far from it
For me, it's YU2
>>12633361Pointless from a western perspective because only a fraction of Japanese games ever came to the west, and virtually all of them were altered to varying degrees.
>>12633361Oliver Twins
>>12633361>sakaguchi, nomura, yoshitpiss getting the credit for FF>not kitase who is the single biggest person responsible for all of the actually great FF gamesI hate niptards so much its unreal
>>1263386270% of those games are mahjong, baseball, VNs and horse racing. 20% of them are not special games at all and didn't get localized for a reason. that last 10% is great but at least 90% of them have been translated at this point. We arent missing out on much at this point.>muh japanese grammar is essential to this children's gameno it isnt
>>12633361>death stranding memecrap n not /vr/.nippon eroges were the greatest sprite arts.
>twitter screenshot threadJust nuke /vr/ already
Sakaaaguuuuuuuuuchiii!
>>12633363I don't understand this meme
>>12633365to be fair, elden ring is the biggest name out of all of these.
>>12634225How do you not credit Miyazaki for Dark Souls, like they clearly have space to list two IPs
the team behind the best search action game of all time
>>12633403
>>12633361>Miyazaki>retro developerOne of these is not making any sense at all. He does not belong on this list.
Suda51He had a lot of wrestling nerds on suicide watch during the SNES days.
>>12636396Not only is he not retro, he has made ONE type of game which wasn't his to begin with, Souls games are just fantasy modded Armored Core.
>>12634220Remember blast processing? The trick behind it was created by him.
