 Shigeru Miyamoto Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Shigeru Miyamoto has been in the headlines this week as the 40th anniversary of Super Mario continues to be a global event. According to Popverse, Miyamoto recently appeared in a major interview alongside other Nintendo leaders in the new Nintendo Museum Official Book, reflecting on Mario’s legacy and the big question—could Mario still be running and jumping in another 100 years. Miyamoto emphasized that while Mario is now a global movie star and icon, the heart of the character will always remain in interactive video games. “As long as we don’t forget Mario’s prime point—running and jumping—as we add new things, I think Mario will be with us for a long time to come,” he said. Throughout these celebrations, Miyamoto’s role has shifted decidedly from day-to-day game development into a kind of overseer and creative advisor. He now entrusts development to new teams, but insists on playing the first 30 minutes of every Mario game to make sure it still “feels like Mario,” as quoted in recent interviews with Casa Brutus and VICE. Teams need to meet what is widely described as “Miyamoto’s Golden Rule”—the controls and spirit have to feel just right.

Even as he steps back from direct development, Miyamoto remains deeply involved in Mario’s expansion into other media. Multiple outlets including Video Games Chronicle are reporting that Miyamoto is currently in the final stages of production for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a high-profile Hollywood sequel set to release in April 2026 with Chris Pratt and Anya Taylor-Joy reprising their roles. Miyamoto has been hands-on as producer, stating that he will “keep working on it until it becomes fun.” He holds the final say as to whether the film and new games carry the true Mario spirit. This movie is expected to be the next cultural milestone after the runaway success of last year’s Super Mario Bros. Movie, and further cements Miyamoto as not just a legendary game maker but a bona fide cross-media mogul.

Business-wise, Nintendo continues to leverage Miyamoto’s creative philosophy—prioritizing fun and accessibility over raw hardware power. According to Globis, this approach—drawing on Japanese ideas like monozukuri (craftsmanship) and kaizen (continuous improvement)—has kept Nintendo thriving while competitors chase technical specs. Miyamoto’s influence is so lasting that even as he leans away from development, he’s become the very symbol of Nintendo’s people-first, fun-first culture.

No major news stories have broken in the past 24 hours regarding any surprise appearances or controversial remarks from Miyamoto, and his official social media presence has remained very limited—consistent with his famously private style. However, anticipation is ramping up for the Mario Galaxy Movie trailer and speculation about a potential Mario game for the next console cycle continues to swirl across fan forums and press, though no official statements or leaks have surfaced.

That’s the Miyamoto newsflash—slowing down, but never stopping, ever expanding Mario’s world and Nintendo’s magic into games, parks, and theaters. Thanks for listening.
