I haven't played Pikmin 2 yet so I have no opinion on that... except that I love Pikmin. His skill as a developer hasn't impressed me yet with anything he's worked on. Correct me if i'm wrong but the games that he has worked on have failed to meet or exceed multi-million sales or gained critical acclaim by any industry leaders or 'average joe gameplayers', he's a speck on the radar and I think he will stay that way. Another highly inflated average company with stars in their eyes and nothing to show for it.
However, if he works on a Lemmings style 3rd person 3-D RTS with a 2-Player option that sells half as well as Pikmin 2 will worldwide, OR is able to develop world reknowned mascot characters with games that people will play for the next 30 years simply because of their quality and gameplay alone then I will happily eat my words. Unfortunately I think he's just a rock-star wannabe who's trying to stir up trouble.
