So what has Miyamoto been up to?

[AuthenticM]

Hopefully not fucking up Paper Mario

hes just letting the new blood takeover.

I would love to see what he could do with a small team (20 or less) and a strictly 2D game but with everything he's learned in the last 30 years.

 

[Lukemia SL]

He said he directed part of it

Hey that's interesting, Wikipedia should update his wiki again.

It had better be Pikmin 4.

He's slowly retiring, letting the younger generation carry the torch. Dude deserves some time off.

Nintendo (at least in Japan) must be the greatest company to work at. They keep basically all their talent. Miyamoto has been at Nintendo for 42 years! Even probably the most famous to ever leave, Gunpei Yokoi, was there for 31 years.

Koji Kondo, Koizumi, Aonuma, Takeda (retired after 45+ years), Tezuka, Sakamoto, Tanabe, Konno, Sugiyama...

He's sitting under his own vine and fig tree, and no one shall make him afraid.

Beautiful.

He's getting old. No disrespect to him but I think he's preparing for retirement these days, making sure Nintendo gets all the headway to continue without his input to the best of their ability.

66 is nothing nowadays. Plenty of artists keep on doing their stuff even when they are 75-80+. Look at movie directors, singers, actors etc.

I am rather tired of his tendency to neuter the story-lines of games he works on

 

[Shadow]

Alright, I'll admit it... What kind of Nintendo fan am I? I don't deserve to be one. I even follow some development news and everything. How the hell did I think that Miyamoto and Sakurai were the same person.... I mean I'm pretty sure I knew before, but for some reason whenever either were being talked about lately, I thought they were talking about Sakurai. I was going to say "uh what? He's been working on Smash".... now I feel like the dumbest person on the planet.

Directors being old I totally respect as well as game development. If they can handle it, that's cool. I was just thinking that after 65-ish I can imagine it's increasingly chaotic having to be frontman for deadlines and constant problem-solving. In my eyes it's not the same as if you're a 60-year-old composer, writer or artist even if they too have deadlines, but they usually know their craft and can do a lot of it in solitude.

Wasn't he on stage this year for starlink

Dont worry, Intelligent Systems has proven they can do that without his help.

I think he's doing Pikmin 5 or 6 right about now.

 

[Datajoy]

Putting the finishing touches on Pikmin 5.

Edit: beat ..

 

[Tribal_Cult]

I think it's time for a new, final IP for him. Hopefully his magnum opus. Then he's free.

 

[Schreckweg 5000]

Miyamoto heavily promoted Breath of the Wild. Mind you, last year feels like 10 decades ago.
