Camelot president would like to work on Donkey Kong, DK64 sequel
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Out of Nintendo’s entire stable of franchises, Hiroyuki Takahashi has said that he’d be most interested in working on Donkey Kong.
The Camelot president told Nintendo Gamer in its July issue that the series “would prove really interesting” since its “games are full of surprises.” He pointed to Donkey Kong 64 specifically in his response.
Speaking of Donkey Kong 64, Takahashi noted that he “would love to make a sequel to it.”
Perhaps this could happen… one day. Camelot does have a pretty close relationship with Nintendo, though the company has mostly stuck to Mario Tennis and Golden Sun titles in recent years.

More talk about Miyamoto’s eventual retirement
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Even six months after the initial talk started, we’re still seeing people ask Shigeru Miyamoto about his eventual retirement. One investor at Nintendo’s most recent shareholders meeting asked how the company will carry on once Miyamoto departs.
Both Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata weighed in on the situation.
Miyamoto said that he’s been taking on fewer responsibilities overall as younger employees serve as the “main roles” for series like Mario Kart and Super Mario. He later teased some of the vague ideas he has in mind for the future.
Iwata added that “Miyamoto still will be actively creating things but we are working for the transition of power to go to younger people at the same time.”
Head past the break for the entire commentary on the topic.
