I was thinking about that a lot while watching The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

>>736312931>73 years old>still working, still making decisionsshouldnt he have retired almost a decade ago?? anyway he still looks quite good for his age, i even thought he was younger. Whatever, these old ass boomers need to go and get replaced with fresh talent
>>7363129316 years.he's 74 and the average age ti die in Japan is 80
>>736313115He retired from games many years ago, he's a glorified consultant for their non-vidya media (especially film)
>>736313243Well then. Let's hope they fire his demented ass seeing how Mario movie critically flopped.
>>736312931Probably about 20 years at most. Possibly less.He may be terrible when it comes to writing and handling stories, but I still hope he has a decent remainder of his life nonetheless.
>>736313403>critically flopped.lollmaothey don't give a shit so long as its profitable.
Hopefully not much longer. The sooner he dies the better.
>>736313561It will not be good for the video game industry when he dies.
>>736313474I mean yeah i agree... but a shitty movie will make people less and less excited about the next few Nintendo movies... which leads to less sales and less profit. Eh, then again this IS those Nintendo manchildren bootlickers we talking about so... maybe it wont matter in this specific scenario..
Nintendo, Sega, Square Enix, and a bunch of other boomer gaming folks wont be around next decade.Look at Yoshi P or Soken. One is on the verge of retirement and the other is battling cancer.
>>736313474Two massive stinkers in a row has to be on nintendo's mind right now.
>>736313671He contributes nothing to the industry at this point. Modern Nintendo is garbage and he's just a figurehead. He isn't even calling the shots anymore. And considering how bad these movies turned out, things wouldn't be much better even if he was.
>>736313786>but a shitty movie will make people less and less excited about the next few Nintendo moviesIt's already outpacing the last movie's WW by about 40 mil.
>>736313671Miyamoto hasnt been inovating JACKSHIT in aaages. How will it be "not good"? id bet on the opposite, maybe they'll finally do something new and fresh with him gone at last.
>>736313786>>736313814afaik the movies are being well-received by audiences, just not by film critics. Besides, the only reason the films exist is to serve as glorified advertisements for their vidya franchises and IPs, regardless of whether people enjoy the films themselves their existence puts Mario (and now Starfox too I guess?) into the spotlight for normalfags to talk about.
He could have another 10-20 years. Average death age for a Japanese person is 85.
>>736313115Japan never forces anyone to retire. Either they still have the ability to give useful input or if they're bothersome they will send them to a place where they have nothing to do, but the most honorable thing to do is to just retire yourself which is what Tanabe is doing after Metroid Prime 4 was lackluster.
>>736313953or they die early from a cold or slip and fall accident. dbz creator died because he fell.
>>736313870Modern Nintendo gave us Super Mario Odyssey and they gave us Mario's daughter, which, when confirmed, will end the Mareach saga, which is exactly what I want from Nintendo.I want to live to witness the mainline Super Mario formula become different.
>>736314161Please kill yourself, retard.
Switch 2 is Nintendo's PS Vita moment
>>736313949I wonder if I might be interested in Star Fox, now that I have watched The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
>>736314279Projection.
>>736313115He earned the godsenpai status and damnit he's going to milk every bit of it.
>>736314367It's like PS Vita tier. Slow exclusive releases. Third party ports are watered down from whatever they came from. Games are more expensive just because they're portable.
>>736313115I dunno. He looks about how I'd expect a 73 year old jap to look. Grey hair and wrinkles.
>>736313115>still working, still making decisionsThey shit canned him after mario 64. He hasn't had a hands on role since. He got pushed aside into a supervisory role because he wasted millions on R&D prototyping the n64 controller.They never let him near games development/direction ever again.
>>736313115>Whatever, these old ass boomers need to go and get replaced with fresh talentThey constantly replace their old talent with younger people.If you follow the credits of games you'd see this.
>>736315760I think the last game he touched was Wii Sports Resort
>>736312931Probably 5 - 10 years before he actually retiresMaybe another 10 years before he passes away if he's got the good Japanese aging genes
>>736313115>Whatever, these old ass boomers need to go and get replaced with fresh talentNintendo already does that. Splatoon was conceived by the new younger devs.Similar with ARMS. The director of that game was under 40 when it was released; relatively young to be the director of any new game.
>>736315760ACTUALLY they shitcanned him after a game he was directing based on Jungle Emperor Leo / Kimba the White Lion failed to release.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSPMyFnsdLc
>>736312931He feeds off /v/ seethe to sustain himself so he will be alive forever.
