Will that matter much when the other old heads will most likely say no to anything a younger dev would say?

They're not going to put someone in that position with radically different ideals. The "culture" of Nintendo is as a company and a brand is as iron-clad as any you will find. I guarantee you, no matter who fills Miyamoto's position, they will hold the same philosophies as he does when it comes to game development.

Shigeru Miyamoto should hand over Nintendo to Xbox's Phil Spencer. Can you imagine what he would do to the brand with Microsoft's financial backing?

A bit late for this impossible transition.. its at least a good thing he handed over Zelda to Aonuma. But Miyamoto’s creative mind is unmatched

As if money fixes everything. Have you seen the state of Xbox?

Nintendo Switch will go down as one of the best selling consoles in history and they’ve released countless great games. Nintendo actually have passion for gaming and make stellar games. The complete opposite of Xbox.

VenomUK is obviously baiting. Come on guys.

Then not much point in giving the reigns to someone younger if they're not going to push ninty in a somewhat newer direction.

@Inverno

Myiamoto won't live forever and at some point he will retire. He's going to have to hand it over to somebody eventually. He probably already has an understudy that he's grooming to take his place.

Should have done that 15-20 years ago already.

I hope to someone who cares for games and industry rather profits...

KwietStorm_BLM11d ago

Out of all the companies in the biz, Sony is who you call out for that of all things? lol how

Christopher11d ago

Yeah... a business is definitely not going to prioritize profits. What we want is profits plus a care for games. You're not getting one who doesn't care about profits.

Rainbowcookie11d ago

Its a matter of time but it would me a great loss.

By younger he probably means someone 60+ years old :-)

If any one has seen Jiro Dreams of Sushi movie ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wi... will probably know what I mean by this

Yes! Glad to see some love for Dark Arena! Doom and Dark Arena were the first times I ever experienced FPS games in handheld, which was pretty mind blowing for that era.

I was actually playing Dark Arena again recently on my phone w a Razer Kishi controller and it gave me such warm fuzzy feelings, like revisiting an old friend I hadn't seen in forever. Still enjoyed his company. :)

*They should try to get Dark Arena on the GBA lineup on Nintendo Switch Online. It was never a big title, so it shouldn't be a huge investment for the rights.
