À propos de cet audio
Well, well, well—it's been a quiet few days in the Miyamoto universe, folks, but that's actually pretty typical for the legendary designer as we move deeper into December. Let me break down what we know about the Mario and Zelda creator's recent activities.
First up, we're now well into the holiday season, and the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto—which opened back in October with Miyamoto as a central figure—continues to operate. This museum has become one of the most significant projects of his later career, showcasing 135 years of Nintendo history alongside displays of his iconic creations. It really represents a shift in how this notoriously secretive company communicates with the world, something Miyamoto himself has acknowledged.
On the Hollywood front, things are heating up. Miyamoto continues to serve as executive producer on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, set to release in April 2026. Recent reports from entertainment industry sources indicate he's in the final stages of production on this project and has expressed genuine confidence in the film's direction. He's been quoted as saying he keeps working on it until it becomes fun, which alone tells you his level of confidence. The film stars Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Jack Black, and represents Nintendo's continued expansion into premium entertainment beyond games.
Earlier this year, specifically following Nintendo's Q2 2025 financial results in November, Miyamoto made headlines by discussing Mario Kart's seemingly unbeatable market dominance. He expressed skepticism that any new intellectual property would surpass Mario Kart's sales figures, though he acknowledged Nintendo's philosophy that there are no limits to what they can achieve. This statement generated considerable industry discussion about Nintendo's future franchise strategy.
What's particularly interesting about Miyamoto's current trajectory is his formal stepping back from day-to-day development on the Super Mario series. Now 72 years old, he's handed the torch to younger developers while maintaining an oversight role. He's mentioned that he typically only plays the first thirty minutes of new Mario titles nowadays, essentially acting as Nintendo's creative guardian rather than its day-to-day hands-on developer.
Beyond that, recent days have been relatively quiet on the social media and public appearance front, which is entirely on brand for Miyamoto. He remains deeply involved with Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios, having personally overseen the design of all three theme park locations.
