Iwata's Shocking Revelation: "Miyamoto is Not God"

 
In spite of everything, there are many gamers and Nintendo fans who have proudly proclaimed that "Miyamoto is God." However, during the aforementioned post-financial results investor relations Q&A; session, he dropped a bombshell on us all. Answering a question regarding different kinds of "mistakes" Nintendo has made, Iwata stated "If you have included our inability to launch software in a timely fashion in the former half of this year as one of these mistakes, I have to express my disagreement to such a use of the term. Honestly speaking, whether entertainment software is good enough or not cannot be told until development nears completion. Even amongst the software created by Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo, some have turned out to be entertaining enough in line with the original development concept while some turned out to be lacking something in the end."
