The famous Nintendo game designer is now 54 years old, and to commemorate the occasion he had this to say,

“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.”

So there you have it folks! More Mario games for at least another half-century, the Japanese are of course near-immortals with their hundred year life-spans, so we can expect Mr. Miyamoto to keep making games till he’s 120. The real news however is that judging from his statement he isn’t filthy rich.
