He's not "retiring" exactly, he's just stepping down from his current position to work on smaller projects.

I'm kind of glad. I want to see him do something new.

Well, the article makes it sound like it's not like he's just quitting from game design period, he's just kind of taking more of a background role. This is what I was expecting to happen soon anyway.

“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. What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself"

sounds really good

For the better, imo. He has been kind of 'ehhh' these past few years in regards in some design choices, some worked out well, some didn't. I'm interested in seeing what this 'newer' generation of devs can produce.

Heh, that site is fishing for hits. What he's actually planning to do sounds very interesting. I wonder if the 5-year cycle for SS (TP took years as well) caused him to step back and reevaluate.

Basically he's not going to work on anything like Zelda or Mario anymore. Just smaller things. Then actual retirement.

Pikmin 3 would be a major release. That doesn't sound like the route Miyamoto is heading in, not unless Pikmin 3 ends up being a $15 DLC game.

Yeah, this makes sense; I wasn't under the impression that he was having much effect when he was spread so thin and not interested in most of the projects.

this is non-news until we know what he's doing

plus it's not like people were thrilled with Nintendo's current direction, so if Miyamoto did retire I don't think it would be a huge deal. Kojima would be a bigger deal.

Maybe he played some SFII today because of the Rivalry Rumble and took a loss to Guile very seriously.
