Shigeru Miyamoto is now 72 years old, past what most would consider retirement age. He has been the producer and director of nearly every single Nintendo smash hit since 1979.
I'm not even joking, he has the greatest resume in the history of video games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigeru_Miyamoto
Obviously the company has grown to be way bigger than him, but I just can't help but wonder if Nintendo would ever be the same without him. These IPs are largely a creation of his imagination. He knows how they started (because he created them) and got to watch them evolve as the decades went on. I don't think people appreciate how valuable of an asset he is to their company.
