My understanding is that the New Super Mario Bros. games are not nearly as solid as those from the NES and SNES era. And Nintendo still is making 3D Mario games. Mario is also a much safer, higher-selling franchise.

I mean, the grand-daddy of the game Gunpei Yokoi has been out of the company (and the living world) for going on two decades. Without him pushing for new games (combined with the respect the other veterans have of not wanting to mess with what they perhaps saw as his baby), whenever a new Metroid happens, it's not because Miyamoto really wants to, it's probably because some third-party player wants to put their hat into the Metroid ring.

Sadly, this is not just Japan, but Japan corporate culture, so such things just do not happen Xp
Miyamoto will probably hold at least some power at Nintendo by seniority alone until he literally no longer can (physically/mentally).

He had little to nothing to do with the various new IPs like splatoon and even with Breath of the Wild he just played some test ideas and said, "I like this."
