Miyamoto quits Nintendo. OR *gasp* dies?

Will Nintendo games ever be the same? Can anyone replace him? Will the world as we know it come to a gruesome end?

Discuss.

Yes. Nintendo will be the same. His games will live on.

Miyamoto clone #2 will be released from the cryostorage.

My friend keeps on pressing me for this answer. He insists that once he's gone, Nintendo will crumble at the loss of him.

probably nothing.

What will happen to Microsoft when Gates steps down/dies? Apple when Jobs steps down/dies?

A different style to franchises he made such as Mario, Legend of Zelda, etc.
other than that, probably nothing, but characters made to be tribute to him. I doubt Nintendo will crumble though, they will still have good developers.

I think Miyamoto gives other developers his franchises, like when he gave the Zelda franchise to Eiji Aonuma

I think he is immortal. The only way for him to die is if his head gets cut off.

Will it be like when Walt Disney died? Disney movies were still amazing, but seemed to lose that "magic" (except Alladin and Lion King and Beauty and the Beast)

Nintendo will be awsome still, but we will miss the Miyamoto touch.
