What he does think about is the future of Nintendo.

In a recent interview, Shigeru Miyamoto, the famous creator of Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda, shared some thoughts on his retirement from the industry. Well, the good news is that Nintendo's mastermind has no intention to retire yet.

"More so than retiring, I'm thinking about the day I fall over," Miyamoto said to The Guardian. "In this day and age, you have to think about things in a five-year timespan, so I do think about who I can pass things on to, in case something does happen."

Miyamoto has been a part of Nintendo for over 45 years. It's difficult to imagine the company without this veteran Director and legendary Game Designer. Well, as Miyamoto himself indicated last time, fans shouldn't worry, as the company would unlikely to change significantly in his absence.

Talking with The Guardian, Miyamoto also shared some plans, saying that he's trying to find new fields for development.

"[These days] I don't think of myself as a game designer," shared Miyamoto. "I'm about finding unique opportunities for Nintendo. The way things work here is that, more so than having a plan and following it, we come across certain things and from there, we try to find our own new path. The movies, the amusement parks, I'm excited to see what kind of organic things result from those … I'm still very new to [the movie] industry and I'm still learning, but I'm trying to read a lot of scripts these days and learn about how they are developed, to see how we can create uniquely Nintendo films," he added.

In November 2023, Nintendo announced a live-action adaptation of Zelda, after years of anticipation the company finally confirmed the development of the movie.
