What happens to Nintendo after Miyamoto retires?

[cAPSLOCK]

I guess the bigger question is where will the games industry be without Miyamoto.

Let's be honest, as much as anyone here loves realistic shooters (me probably more than others) and deep story lines and grand everything else, he's been the one person in the industry that reminds us that ultimately it's all about fun.

I love Half-Life, I've played through it enough times and enjoyed it since the first time I ever played. However, as much as I love Half-Life and all its spawn, even this game, the best the FPS genre has to offer by a humiliatingly large degree, is missing something that Miyamoto has always had as a cornerstone to all of his games.

He's not just Nintendo's go to guy, he's a very unique figure in the industry as a whole. I remember reading a top game makers of all time list, a list that was made up of all industry figures and Miyamoto won out by a large degree. There's probably more respect for him from his peers than outside the industry.

Gamespy did a similar kind of list, same results overall, though.
