Wow. I thought this was clear enough but I guess they had to clarify this to prevent an investor stampede.
Im ok with this, yeah.
It does make me wonder about a videogame industry without Miyamoto, tho. That will be a sad day : /

Miyamoto reached max level, and therefore stopped leveling.
What he said in the interview is that he regularly tells his team that he will one day retire. It's inevitable, and he tells them this as a motivator - to encourage that they hone their skills and be ready for that day when it comes. Seems pretty sensible, but I can understand the misunderstanding in the interview.

Shigesato Itoi is NOT a game designer, he is just a copywriter. He almost never gets involved in any game and he is busy with many proyects from his own company that dedicates in everyday products.
He is a very good friend of Satoru Iwata, so maybe in the future we could get to see something new with one of his stories involved; whatever it is it WON'T be a new MOTHER game. He has made it clear plenty of times that MOTHER 4 is not something he wants to do.

I've often wondered what Nintendo will be like when all the people who made it what it is today are dead. Gunpei Yokoi's death was a big enough loss. I honestly don't know if Nintendo is ready for Miyamoto's eventual departure. It will all be on his proteges. Nintendo has shown that they can make good games without Miyamoto's involvement, but I think that 10 years from now, Nintendo will be unrecognizable from the one today.
I move that we officially recognize the header image as the best image on the Internet.
All in favor?

i'm sad he won't be developing his own new games, but it's great news that he will take under his wings younger generation of developers.
but still we can expect here posts from retards claiming that Nintendo need to make more brown-ass shooters and action games with realistic graphics cause that's the sign of innovation. not to mention how they never made anything innovative. haters gonna hate.

So you've discovered the truth, "Detective"!
I'm glad he's encouraging younger devs to step forward - I just hope he stands by what he says and doesn't just say "hey, that new idea would be great in a Mario or Zelda game - screw originality!". I also hope he does create new franchises himself, like he did with Pikmin.

This is probably good news. Though I guess curiosity begs what impact he actually has had recently. I really want Nintendo to make something new and fresh on the software side. Anything with a Mii in it is completely lifeless in design. Franchises are good but can't be the only thing they make. They need some new blood and to take a couple chances with original titles.
2 words: Reality. TV. I'm seeing Miyamoto completing quick fire challenges involving scallops, cheese whiz and a can of sterno. I'm seeing him having to free style rap in front of a bunch of cancer babies. Miyamoto dressed as Mario outside a Little Caesar's in Pasadena dancing. We could title it Miyamoto's Wacky World. Spike TV, Thursdays at 9 pm Central.
Sounds like someone at Nintendo saw the potential stock decline with this news and is doing some damage control
Such a cop out, I was actually looking forward to him leaving. Oh well, I hope he still makes those smaller games he had in mind.
You guys misunderstood: Miyamoto abandoned his physical body and is now assuming an ethereal state, advising Nintendo from the 4th dimension.
@indigit4l: potential?
Nintendo shares dropped 2% last night.
Shiggy must be cloned. For science. Love that man.

Nintendo needs new IPs. I hope Miyamoto helms some new ones, because I think a lot of his talent is going to waste by focussing on managerial duties. He should step down as a manager and make a new IP with a bunch of young Nintendo devs. I'll bet that would turn out really well, but it'll never happen.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
He has been a great game designer but his position in the company has given him control over some important parts of the video game systems themselves and I really blame for the lack of internet multi-player on the GC and Wii and that there wasn't any but he really did not help Nintendo when it come to going online.
I am still very upset that the guy who made the Game-boy left Nintendo and is dead (Gumpei Yokoi) because he was much better at making R&D for the next big pieces of hardware which is what Nintendo is really lacking right now.
Not that the jump from DS to 3DS is a big one, but it really is the same form factor and about the same experiences you could get out of your DS.
Same with the Wii not that it was a big jump to it, but it was almost the same experiences without motion controls as to the GameCube hardware wise.
Anyways I was excited to see something new out of the company, not that Miyamoto is not great but these last few years has been well...not so great on the wii.

Actually am I the only one disappointed by this? I just think Myiamoto taking as step back might actually force Nintendo to step up creating new Ip's. It just seems that nobody at Nintendo is willing to actually make something new, sure hardware innovations and changes keep coming but where are the actual people willing to make something new?
Nobody is ever gonna match Myiamoto especially not if they will not get the freedom to create their own stories and their own characters.As anyone growing up with Nintendo i love the company but they need people to create their own path. I just feel that has been missing for a long time at Nintendo and if they don't give someone else a true chance to make their own history and to create their own adventures then all we will get are echos of the past.

...Ok? I'm a huge Nintendo fan, but as long as Miyamoto is alive, I can't see his influence of the Big N's franchises diminishing in any way (which is a good thing), so retired or not, I still think good things could happen with his projects.
So... what changed?
This now sounds disappointing. The picture that was made yesterday was that of Nintendo capable of handling itself and Shigeru tailing off to work with a new small studio annexed to the same building to make new IPs.

Kinda had a feeling this was the case, and that there was some sort of misunderstanding or translation error. Still kinda funny how every site jumped the gun and decided to freak out over this
Too bad.... I was hoping with him gone we'd actually get some fresh IP at Nintendo instead of the same tired old recycled ideas.
