À propos de cet audio
In the last few days, Shigeru Miyamoto has been present more as a strategic voice than a public showman, and that in itself is biographically significant. In a newly published investor Q and A from Nintendo, Miyamoto appears in his current role as Executive Fellow and Representative Director, talking not about one game or one movie, but about Nintendo as a global entertainment engine. In that session, translated on Nintendo’s official investor site, he stresses that Nintendo does not want to simply grow in headcount, but to invest in content that can be enjoyed worldwide, describing the world as a single market and underscoring that Nintendo now collaborates with film and video creators on equal footing. That positioning cements him less as a hands on game director and more as the elder architect of Nintendo’s cross media future.
Coverage of that same Q and A by GameSpot and The Outerhaven frames Miyamoto as the internal champion of Nintendo’s expanded push into movies and video. He points to the success of The Super Mario Bros Movie and the ongoing Super Mario Galaxy film and live action Legend of Zelda project as proof that games and films can feed each other, while warning that Nintendo will not become a bloated studio empire. This is long term biographical gold: decades from now, historians will likely see this period as the moment Miyamoto helped transform Nintendo from a game led company into a character led entertainment studio.
Recent interviews continue that theme. Casa Brutus, summarized in English by My Nintendo News and Nintendo Everything, quotes Miyamoto saying he now entrusts most Mario development to younger teams but still personally plays the first thirty minutes of new titles to check that they truly feel like Mario, and half jokes that maybe he will “stop looking” while hoping to stay healthy for the series fiftieth anniversary. That is a clear, on the record statement that his hands on design era is closing and his custodial, mentor era is in full swing. In the same coverage he says the Super Mario Galaxy movie is in its final stages and that he will keep working on it until it is fun, reaffirming his role as producer and quality bar for Nintendo films.
On social media, fan archives like SpriteCell and reports from The Famicast note Miyamoto tied to recent Legend of Zelda movie casting and production teases, but there are no verified new posts from him in just the past twenty four hours that change the big picture. A widely shared story this week about a “fax from Miyamoto” praising Banjo Tooie turned out, according to Time Extension, to be a playful fake by former Rare designer Gregg Mayles, reminding us how much his name still fuels gaming folklore even when he is nowhere near a camera.
For now, the key developments of these days are quiet but pivotal: Miyamoto is openly stepping back from day to day design, doubling down on movies and global IP strategy, and defining Nintendo’s future as one where Mario, Zelda, and friends live as much on the big screen and in theme parks as they do on consoles.
