This man had an incredible impact on my childhood. Such an incredible genius. Steve Jobs was the Miyamoto of consumer electronics.

Good for him, getting back on the front line and getting his hands dirty. From the tone of his responses, it seems like he must already have some ideas. To release something within a year is pretty aggressive. I look forward to seeing his new creations.

Exactly. I imagine it must be suffocating for someone as creative as Miyamoto to be restricted to refining well-established major game titles like Zelda and Mario. It doesn't give him much flexibility. It will be refreshing for him to relinquish those titles and start with a black slate; I can't wait to see what comes out of it.
