Yeah just today news broke that Hideki Konno is also leaving; he was the producer of much of the Mario Kart series, and directed Luigi's Mansion:

Guys like Miyamoto and Aonuma are also getting really old now and will likely retire soon

Dang. That’s a slightly worrying thought… but I feel confident Nintendo should be in good hands. They’ve done a lot to ensure young talent is being built— recall that Miyamoto is a protégé of Yotoi, an individual whom no one would have thought could ever be replaced.

Part of me doesn't want them to leave, because I don't know of anyone specific who can replace them. :(
