In a recent interview with The Guardian, legendary Nintendo video game director and game designer Shigeru Miyamoto stated that he has no plans on retiring anytime soon. When asked on the subject of retirement, Miyamoto at age 71, said he thinks more about “the day he falls over” than retirement, and that he’s thinking about “who he can pass things on to, in case something does happen.” Shigeru Miyamoto has contributed greatly to the creation and development of several Nintendo properties including The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, Splatoon, Pikmin, Donkey Kong, and more.A relevant snippet of the Shigeru Miyamoto interview:“More so than retiring, I’m thinking about the day I fall over,” Miyamoto said. “In this day and age you have to think about things in a five-year timespan, so I do think about who I can pass things on to, in case something does happen.I’m really thankful that there is so much energy around things that I have worked on. These are things that have already gone out into the world … they’ve been cultivated by others, other people have been raising them, helping them grow, so in that sense I don’t feel too much ownership over them anymore.”
