If there is one developer that will forever be associated with Nintendo, it is Shigeru Miyamoto. He created both Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. There is no doubt that he is getting older, but is he retiring? The answer according to Forbes is…well, kinda.
Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda announced through an interview with Wired that he will be stepping down from the company as head of game development to “focus on smaller projects.” Yes, he’s still working within the company, but won’t be overseeing major titles like Skyward Sword anymore.
Even if he finished his development years with Skyward Sword, he would finish on a high note. It’s hard to know at this point what is in store with Miyamoto, but even his smaller role will probably have several hits for Nintendo.
While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
