Shigeru Miyamoto would like to hand over Nintendo to someone 'younger'

Nintendo's Miyamoto is looking to hand over the reigns to a younger developer who can take his stead.

Will that matter much when the other old heads will most likely say no to anything a younger dev would say?

[RaiderNation]

They're not going to put someone in that position with radically different ideals. The "culture" of Nintendo is as a company and a brand is as iron-clad as any you will find. I guarantee you, no matter who fills Miyamoto's position, they will hold the same philosophies as he does when it comes to game development.

Shigeru Miyamoto should hand over Nintendo to Xbox's Phil Spencer. Can you imagine what he would do to the brand with Microsoft's financial backing?

[Cacabunga]

A bit late for this impossible transition.. its at least a good thing he handed over Zelda to Aonuma. But Miyamoto’s creative mind is unmatched

As if money fixes everything. Have you seen the state of Xbox?

Nintendo Switch will go down as one of the best selling consoles in history and they’ve released countless great games. Nintendo actually have passion for gaming and make stellar games. The complete opposite of Xbox.

VenomUK is obviously baiting. Come on guys.

[Inverno]

Then not much point in giving the reigns to someone younger if they're not going to push ninty in a somewhat newer direction.

@Inverno

Myiamoto won't live forever and at some point he will retire. He's going to have to hand it over to somebody eventually. He probably already has an understudy that he's grooming to take his place.

[Terry_B]

Should have done that 15-20 years ago already.

I hope to someone who cares for games and industry rather profits...

[Levii_92]

This..

**cough SONY cough**

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Out of all the companies in the biz, Sony is who you call out for that of all things? lol how

[Christopher]

Yeah... a business is definitely not going to prioritize profits. What we want is profits plus a care for games. You're not getting one who doesn't care about profits.

[Rainbowcookie]

Its a matter of time but it would me a great loss.

[cthulhucultist]

By younger he probably means someone 60+ years old :-)

If any one has seen Jiro Dreams of Sushi movie ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wi... will probably know what I mean by this

[XiNatsuDragnel]

I want someone who loves gaming for an art form a creative piece, passion and that unique experience only nintendo can give plz

[KwietStorm_BLM]

With any luck, the younger generation might understand the internet.

[Christopher]

Not sure that's the best thing since the 'younger generation' is all about chasing the algorithm.

[REDDURT]

You can trust them. Well as long as they not from the west. We know what nonsensical things they are including if they are not monitored. Mario would be reading a lgbt flag.

[Demetrius]

Someone who will see how nintendo operated over the years seeing how they kept mario, zelda, metroid and others with a fresh feel to em, someone who is actually a gamer at heart and not some money hungry bozo that thinks he can die with money *looks at Microsoft and EA execs*

[FyBy]

Almost all of his work has a gold touch. I like his ideas. And hope Nintendo will still stand up strong. His sense for really fun games is exceptional.
