I just saw this post on X and thought it was worth sharing here.

"Miyamoto (72), Sakamoto (64), Tezuka (64), Kondo (63), Aonuma (61), Sugiyama (65) all at/near retirement age, with many others approaching 60."

This could very well be it for all the OGs from the Famicom/NES era. This could be their final console generation...

...And looking at this list, it breaks my heart that Iwata is not among them. He should've been here to see this day.

There is no shot that more than one or two leave during before the system after NSW2. Miyamoto already said that he’s pretty staying until he is physically unable. All the others are still nearly 10y away from retirement age. They are all getting pretty up there in age though…but I have confidence in their mentees.
