Read all about it

No words required
It's been more like Shigeru Miyamoto Life around these parts this week, with Nintendo's legendary designer hitting the headlines for his apparent — though later rescinded — announcement of his retirement.

Miyamoto: “Eventually Nintendo Must Survive Without Me”
16:00 at nintendolife.com
It is inevitable
All the talk of Shigeru Miyamoto retiring or stepping down — neither of which he's doing, of course — got many thinking about Nintendo's future after its talismanic figure leaves. Miyamoto himself spoke to the Wall Street Journal blog briefly about company life after his departure, and acknowledges Nintendo must prosper without him:We have to construct the structure so that the organization so that it can make it without me. I should also admit that it might be better without me; I mean that a different approach and different talent might emerge, though I shouldn’t dwell on this because then the article might indeed say ‘Mr. Miyamoto is thinking about retiring,’ because that is not the case.Miyamoto realises better than most that allowing a younger generation to come to the forefront will enable Nintendo to keep creating great games for years to come. Not that he's thinking about retiring, though, because he's not.
