When asked about gaming and his potential future outside of game development, Shigeru Miyamoto reveals he won't completely leave the game industry.
His goal is to become something similar to a professor but training and teaching new young developers the importance of the user in games and other stuff Miyamoto is famous for in gaming.

"When I leave the company, I would like to work with young people and teach them about developing", Miyamoto tells The Guardian. "Though it wouldn't be like [traditional] teaching, more explaining how we think and how we interact with the user. For the development process, practical learning is important."

Miyamoto is mostly in charge of the Mario series as his other gaming properties have had others working with him as the future successors for the series (ex. Zelda).
