I agree with everything on that list except for Mizuguchi and Igarashi. Igarashi hasn't changed the series because there isn't much to change in Castlevania. The formula is so damn good, but then again--I'm a fan. Ignore my comments. I guess it could do for a change at this point. As for Mizuguchi, his stuff is so outrageous, people are either all for, or all against. I can understand the indifference. Personally, I think he's a genius (except for Ninety-Nine Nights. Garbage).
Miyamoto is on the list because he hasn't done jack in years. Most people fail to realize how little Miyamoto has done in the past seven years. He co-directed Wind Waker, but that was about it. Hell, even Pikmin (his "brainchild" ) was done by Shigefumi Hino and Masamichi Abe. Animal Crossing? Hediki Kono (Mario Kart series). Twilight Princess? Eiji Aonuma. Mario Sunshine? Training project at EAD Tokyo.
I would hope he has something to do with Mario Galaxy, but in all likely hood it is Takashi Tezuka. He's had more to do with Mario in the days since the SNES than Miyamoto by a long shot.
