Having been selected by the Japanese government to receive the Person of Cultural Merit, Miyamoto shared a few comments. One of those has him stating, “I’m going to do my best to keep doing new things so I don’t get asked if I’m about to retire.”
Miyamoto’s full words:
“I’m thankful that light is being shined upon the medium of games. This is a job where you cannot do anything by yourself. I’m going to do my best to keep doing new things so I don’t get asked if I’m about to retire. I want people all over the world to smile.”
