It's kind of like if you were to watch The Godfather at a younger age, and you know it's good. Then later you were to watch a highly stylized film like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Sure, you might like it better briefly, because it's flashy and sleek, but deep down you know which one is actually better. That's sort of how Miyomoto is. You'll immediately see the charm in his games, and as you grow, you'll later get distracted by the flashier game developers that, while still good, lack the more subtle expressions in their art.
