What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself, probably working on a smaller project with even younger developers. Or I might be interested in making something that I can make myself, by myself. Something really small.

Shigeru Miyamoto, in an interview with Wired. Miyamoto said he’s been telling his staff he plans to “retire” from his current executive position, in the interest of returning to smaller projects — still at Nintendo. He said he is going to start a project next year.

If this really ends up happening, this is kind of bomb. I know his intuition and polish help all the company’s games and whatever, but I’m really interested in seeing more personal projects from the weirdo who thought up Donkey Kong. I’ve always thought it was kind of a shame that he ended up an executive.
