Star Fox character designer on why he left Nintendo, says company is in “good hands” but shouldn’t just rely on its IPs

Takaya Imamura, who was the character designer for Star Fox, F-Zero, Tingle for The Legend of Zelda, and more published a blog post today talking about why he left Nintendo.
Imamura seemed to have his own internal struggles about the feeling of wanting to accomplish more at the company vs. wanting to go independent to work on his own projects. But then after receiving an offer to join a university for teaching CG and game development which would also allow for secondary jobs and the ability to pursue creative projects, the time came to leave.
Imamura also shared some general thoughts about Nintendo. One key takeaway is that he believes Nintendo is in “good hands”. At the same time though, he believes the company shouldn’t just rest on its laurels and the lineup of franchises at its disposal. “It’s crucial not to forget the talented individuals who uphold the value of those IPs,” he said.
