À propos de cet audio
Welcome back to Biography Flash. We're diving into the latest happenings in the world of Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's legendary game designer and current Executive Fellow.
In November 2025, Miyamoto made some major revelations during interviews with Casa Brutus magazine and at Nintendo's Q2 financial briefing. The big story here is that he's officially stepping back from active video game development. According to multiple interviews from early November, Miyamoto revealed that he no longer develops Super Mario games for the Nintendo Switch 2, having handed the franchise off to a new team. But here's the catch – he's still very much involved in quality control. He plays through approximately the first thirty minutes of every new Mario title to ensure the games maintain that signature Mario feel. He checks the interface thoroughly to confirm it captures what Mario fans expect.
When asked about whether new Mario games will launch with the Switch 2, as has been tradition with console launches, Miyamoto got reflective. He noted that through Super Mario Odyssey, the team had explored just about everything possible on the Switch. He joked that he might say "I won't look anymore" and expressed hope to stay healthy until Mario's fiftieth anniversary.
On the business side, Nintendo's financial briefing revealed that Switch 2 has already surpassed ten million units sold as of September 2025, though there's still significant growth potential compared to the original Switch's over one hundred fifty million unit install base. The company expects to sell nineteen million Switch 2 units by March 2026.
Miyamoto also discussed The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is in final production stages and set to release in April 2026. He's heavily involved as a producer and expressed confidence the film will deliver the fun audiences expect. The movie stars Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Jack Black.
Beyond games and movies, Miyamoto has overseen design and construction of Super Nintendo World theme parks across Japan, Hollywood, and Florida. At the financial briefing, he emphasized that as an entertainment company, Nintendo is committed to creating content that resonates globally, collaborating with production companies and creators worldwide.
