Silent Intent

@Silent Intent Here's a better, clearer reply: Miyamoto didn't do the interview in plain English, so he didn't use the word "retire" at all, contrary to your claim.

This might just be a "misinterpretation", where the word "retire" isn't exactly what Miyamoto meant. On the topic at hand, journalists knew they could've picked a less sensationalist title. Something more along the lines of:

"Miyamoto To Take More Active Role In Game Development"

@Courtney "Way to shift blame, why aren't you blaming Miyamoto for using the word retire, repeatedly, throughout the interview?"

Because he spoke through an interpreter.

I needed this. Have a gift card lying around (somewhere) just dying to be used.

I'm sure the media knew what Miyamoto meant. But, of course, they also knew that careful placement of the words "Miyamoto" and "retiring" generate hits. And hits lead to fatter wallets.

So now Nintendo's stock is down, Miyamoto can't become personal with his work again, and everybody's pissed. Anything for a bigger paycheck...

At best, fresh ideas that really change the face of gaming.
At worst...cheesy voice acting...

*shudders*

So...this is a good thing?

@xxxsam It shreds money???

@Hyperion45 I see. Thanks, now I'll go ask myself how I let 15 minutes and a golden opportunity to grab these keys slip by me while I was asking a question about said keys...

*grumble, grumble, grumble*

Are these the same keys that come with Uncharted 3, or is grandpa being an ol' fart again?
