Shigeru Miyamoto Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Shigeru Miyamoto has kept his usual low public profile in the last few days, but his long term pivot is clearer than ever and it is worth putting on the record. In Nintendo’s most recent investor Q and A, released in English by Nintendo itself, Miyamoto reiterated that he no longer wants Nintendo to be a company that simply grows in headcount. Instead, he is positioning Nintendo as a lean creative hub that partners with outside studios on films and other video projects while keeping creative control in house. According to Nintendo’s own briefing documents, he framed movies and videos as the next great pillar of Nintendo’s long term entertainment assets, right alongside games, and emphasized that the world is one market where Nintendo content should work everywhere, not just in Japan or the United States. NintendoEverything, summarizing that same briefing, notes that Miyamoto highlighted Nintendo Pictures as an R and D style studio for experimental shorts rather than just a factory for big theatrical films, pointing to the recent Pikmin short Close to You as proof that he is actively shaping how Nintendo shows up on screens far beyond consoles.
In terms of franchises, recent coverage in Casa Brutus, relayed by outlets like My Nintendo News and Nintendo Life, underlines a quiet but decisive biographical shift. Miyamoto now plays roughly the first 30 minutes of each new Mario game, checking the interface and the feel, but leaves day to day development to a younger team; he jokes about eventually saying I will not look anymore, while adding that he simply hopes to stay healthy until Mario’s 50th anniversary. Vice and other gaming press have taken this as confirmation that he has effectively ceded the controller while remaining the final stamp of approval the human Seal of Quality.
On the film side, The Straits Times reports that Miyamoto is deeply involved as producer on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, now in its final stages and targeting release in 2026, and sees films as a way for fans to reconnect with games long after hardware has moved on. There are no credible reports of major new public appearances, social media posts, or surprise announcements from Miyamoto in the last 24 hours; anything you may see about sudden retirement, personal health scares, or secret new franchises is currently unconfirmed speculation and should be treated that way.
