Update: Reuters has just published a report stating “Nintendo denies report games designer Miyamoto to retire” [https://www.reuters.com/article/2011/12/08/us-nintendo-idUSTRE7B70C520111208].

After 30+ years at the company, Shigeru Miyamoto has announced he is “retiring.” In an interview with Wired.com, Miyamoto says he’s not leaving the company at all, but will be resigning from his current position that involves work on big, important projects at the company. Instead, he will focus on smaller and personal assignments.

“Inside our office, I’ve been recently declaring, ‘I’m going to retire, I’m going to retire. I’m not saying that I’m going to retire from game development altogether. What I mean by retiring is, retiring from my current position.”

Perhaps that’s why Super Mario 3D Land features many characteristics of the earlier Mario games. The Mario 8-bit character seen at the level menu in the game and many other details from old games are perhaps a way of appreciation to Miyamoto from the ones that he has worked with.

With Skyward Sword as the earliest saga in Zelda’s history, we know now how Link became the Hero of Time. Miyamoto must have wanted to do this with Zelda before the end of his involvement in major games.

Though it’s great he wants to share his skills with younger generations of game designers and producers, we gamers who have enjoyed his games since the 80s will indeed miss his talent and creativity, for sure.

“What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself. Probably working on a smaller project with even younger developers. Or I might be interested in making something that I can make myself, by myself. Something really small,” said Miyamoto.

I would love to see Shigeru Miyamoto as himself in other games. A fight against Mario in the next Super Smash Bros. would be priceless.

As the creator of Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda and other well-known characters, he deserves our utmost respect.

Thanks for the memories, Shigeru Miyamoto! You are the Hero of Our Time and Forever.

Actualización: Reuters ha publicado un informe que dice “Nintendo desmiente reporte del retiro del diseñador de juegos Miyamoto” [https://www.reuters.com/article/2011/12/08/us-nintendo-idUSTRE7B70C520111208].

Después de 30 años en la compañía, Shigeru Miyamoto ha anunciado que va a “retirarse”. En una entrevista con Wired.com, Miyamoto dice que no está dejando la compañía en absoluto, sino que estará renunciando a su posición actual que implica trabajar en proyectos grandes e importantes en la empresa. En su lugar, se concentrará en tareas más pequeñas y personales.

“Dentro de nuestra oficina he estado diciendo ‘me voy a retirar, me voy a retirar’. Y con ello no quiero decir que me retiraré del desarrollo de juegos por completo, a lo que me refiero es a que me retiraré de mi posición actual”.

Tal vez es por eso que Super Mario 3D Land cuenta con muchas características de los anteriores juegos de Mario. El personaje 8-bit de Mario visto en el menú de niveles en el juego y otros detalles de viejos juegos son tal vez forma de reconocimiento a Miyamoto de parte de los que han trabajado con él.

Con Skyward Sword como la primera saga de la historia de Zelda, ahora sabemos cómo Link se convierte en el Héroe del Tiempo. Miyamoto debe haber querido hacer esto con Zelda antes de que finalice su participación en los juegos importantes.

Aunque es ideal que quiera compartir sus habilidades con las generaciones más jóvenes de diseñadores y productores de juegos, los jugadores que hemos disfrutado de sus juegos desde los 80 sí extrañarán su talento y creatividad, por supuesto.

“Lo que realmente quiero hacer es estar en la vanguardia del desarrollo de juegos, una vez más a mí mismo. Probablemente trabajando en un proyecto pequeño con los desarrolladores más jóvenes. O podría estar interesado en hacer algo que puedo hacer por mí mismo. Algo realmente pequeño”, dijo Miyamoto.

Me encantaría ver a Shigeru Miyamoto como sí mismo en otros juegos. Una pelea contra Mario en el próximo Super Smash Bros. no tendría precio.

Como el creador ded Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda y otros conocidos personajes, él se merece todo nuestro respeto.

¡Gracias por los recuerdos, Shigeru Miyamoto! Usted es el Héroe de Nuestros Tiempos y para Siempre.
