Shigeru Miyamoto, the man that introduced me to video games with Nintendo and Mario ISN’T retiring after all. Wired.com stated that Miyamoto is retiring to focus on smaller game developments. Kotaku cleared up the statement that Miyamoto will not be quitting Nintendo anytime soon. What he’s actually doing is stepping down as an operational manager to work more closely with new programmers and teaching them the ropes that made Zelda, Pikmin and Metroid so great.
After hearing the news that he was retiring, I was sad. I just got a Wii this week, main reason is for the new Zelda game, Skyward Sword. My best video game moments has always been with Nintendo, probably because I grew up with it. There’s nostalgia and the controls and gameplay is always top notch. So I was really happy to hear the news he will still be working with Nintendo.
