Shigeru Miyamoto is working on several projects, with filmmaking currently taking much of his attention. In a machine-translated October 23 interview with Denfaminicogamer, conducted after Japan selected him as the first video game developer to receive the Order of Culture, he said he wants to see how far he can go in film with professionals and on his own. He also said he might try making something like a game again.
Miyamoto is also considering doing something Nintendo does not usually do, with the aim of surprising employees. He did not specify what the idea involves or whether it would be a game. He said digital media has made work more complex even as some tasks have become faster, and that he wants to keep trying different things while he remains motivated.
His 49-year career at Nintendo includes creating Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Pikmin. His work has also extended beyond games. He has been involved in Super Nintendo World expansions at Universal Studios and served as a producer on the Super Mario films and the upcoming The Legend of Zelda movie.
