There is a rumor coming from someone over on Neogaf that Shigeru Miyamoto is going to be stepping down as General Manager of Nintendo EAD in December. Miyamoto’s departure from Nintendo EAD is to inspire new IP to be made by EAD. There is a rumor that Takashi Tezuka, the series producer of New Super Mario Bros., will be taking Miyamoto’s position as general manager.
Shigeru Miyamoto won’t necessarily be leaving Nintendo but instead work with a new team and make smaller projects.
