    Death Before Retirement

    At 54 years-old is Shigeru Miyamoto is showing no signs of slowing down. From Super Mario Galaxy to Wii Fit, he's still got his fingers in multiple projects. But with contemporaries like Pac-Man creator Toru Iwatani retiring, the question remains: is Shigeru Miyamoto next? He tells us:


    Don't movie directors usually make films until they die? Annually, I don't make that much money. So I don't think I can retire.

    Of course, Miyamoto makes tons of money — he could buy and sell us all! In typical Kyoto-fashion, he's just being very humble and trying to downplay his fabulous wealth. So, fret not. Miyamoto isn't destitute and isn't deserting Nintendo any time soon. Heck, at 54 years-old, he's Nintendo's target customer!
