Shigeru Miyamoto recently told Rolling Stone in an interview that he enjoys working at Nintendo so much that he can only see himself making games for the rest of his life.

Often asked about retirement plans, Miyamoto goes on to to say ”I’m at an age where as I look around at people who work in different companies and they’re all reaching an age where they’re thinking about retirement, I guess people might expect me to be thinking of retiring.”

“But at the same time, I look at the work that I’m doing, and the fun that I’m having – this is something that I can still continue to do for a long time. You know, possibly until I die.”

Even with plans to continue making games until he dies, he’s still rational about his age and is working hard to make sure that Nintendo can continue to have a successful future with him gone.

Good on him

Wonder if we will see his rumored new IP at E3 :D

Who will be the successor to this man?

I can't name anyone. As far as I'm concerned he IS Nintendo.

Never thought he was going to stop.

Just was going to step down from leadership positions, and let new developers take lead.

I'm guessing they will groom and present few individuals later on along with him, when they feel the time is right

the guy just seems full of life if you ask me, this isnt surprising one bit

Lots of interviews with Miyamoto lately. I love it.

He's Japanese so he'll probably live to be 150 or so and just get more awesome as he ages.

lots of interviews with the guy, yet no news what so ever about the games how did i do with bringing your spirit down?

Poorly. XP

I enjoy the little glimpses into the way he does things. The games are coming. I don't play all that many games; I think I'm a lot more patient when it comes to that than a lot of others around here. It also helps that I don't have a Wii U yet, so I'm not begging for games to justify my purchase.
