Miyamoto was hardly involved in that game, so it wasn't entirely his fault, and the developers admitted, they might've taken his advice too literally.
According to an ex-Rare employee, all Miyamoto did was offer them the opportunity to use his Star Fox series for their Dinosaur Planet game, (because Miyamoto thought the main character looked similar to Fox) and thought it'd be a good fit. Sense the Rare employees were fans of SF64 they saw promise in using the SF brand, and had to remake the game for GameCube anyways. (sense Dinosaur Planet was going to be an N64 game originally, and said system was near the end of it's lifespan)
They weren't forced, or anything, that's just something "Lucifer Nintendo" people started. Much like how DKVine started those false "Miyamoto hated DKCountry" rumors, which got so out of hand, eventually Miyamoto himself had to debunk them. (Even stated he was actually uncreditedly involved in DKC's development. DK's trademark hand-slap attack was Miyamoto's idea.)
I think I'll take what an actual Rare employee says over what Larry Bundy, and such say. In fact, Larry Bundy's claims that there were problems between Nintendo & Rare are exaggerated, as well. (And that's not why they split.) Seeing as most former Rare employees prefered Nintendo over Microsoft.
