Nintendo Co. said Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of the Mario and Zelda series, will reduce his involvement in making video games to spend more time training younger developers.
Miyamoto will keep overseeing major titles, Ken Toyoda, a spokesman for Nintendo, said by phone today. The 59-year-old developer will maintain his position as senior managing director, Toyoda said. Wired magazine reported on its website that Miyamoto will step down from his “current position.”
