| Legend11 said: He's 55 now and barring any serious medical conditions or something else happening to him he'll likely work for at least another 10-15 years (people passionate about their work typically work well into old age) but what happens to Nintendo after he retires? The heart and soul of Nintendo is Miyamoto so it's hard to imagine what the company will be like without him. |
Do you have anything but doom and gloom for Nintendo on your agenda? What's your issue these days?
To answer your question. You have nothing to worry about if Shigeru retires, for one he said he would never retire and would have to be dragged from Nintendo or he'd have to be dead. Also, he has been grooming people in their perspective fields for years. He has been like the ultimate teacher at Nintendo. Everyone knows now what he likes and doesn't like and people there have recently even shown that they no longer report to Miyamoto as much as they use to. Full games are made and sent to Miyamoto to test out, he gives a yay or nay and most of the time he's given a pass to the games. His most recent project being Super Mario Galaxy was made completely by an outside studio at Nintendo. Miyamoto is no longer in the driving seat, he's the passenger teacher.
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
