Shigeru Miyamoto reflects on his legacy and retirement
Loading...
Uploaded by ZoominGames on Jan 3, 2012
The creator of Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong video game characters had the industry buzzing when an interview was published by Wired earlier in December in which he hinted at retirement. But the 59-year-old game designer told the Associated Press through an interpreter that he was simply misunderstood. He said that while he has no plans to quit Nintendo, he is working to prepare the famed Japanese company's younger game designers to take over eventually for him and others in the old guard.
Miyamoto currently holds the title of Manager of Nintendo's Entertainment Analysis and Development division. His creations appear in three recently-released titles: "Mario Kart 7", "Super Mario 3D Land" and "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword". Miyamoto expects his characters to outlive him.
Nintendo's first foray into HD will be when its Wii U console is released, likely late in 2012. But Miyamoto says he's simply not been interested in photo-realistic graphics as a game designer.
Miyamoto says he is working on several upcoming games including "Pikmin 3" for the Wii U, "Luigi's Mansion 2" for the 3DS and an undisclosed original title.

YAO ZOOMIN GAMES! Shigeru Miyamoto did not make Donkey Kong! As a gamer, I feel like I have to say this!

@GeeNee9 Oh but yes my friend. Miyamoto's first game project for Nintendo was the creation of Donkey Kong. Of course he wasn't the big boss back in that time (we are talking early 80s) but still it was the design by Miyamoto. And the guy who's jumping over the barrels to reach the princess is called Jumpman. Later Jumpman became Mario.

@ZoominGames Well, you just facepalmed me. I totaly forgot about the original Donkey Kong, you see, I just watched a documentary on Rare.
I now feel ashamed to call me a gamer.

@GeeNee9 lol - Gamers worldwide will forgive you if you play Super Mario Bros world 1-1 with a blindfold on or play classic Donkey Kong 'till the killscreen.
