Nintendo game director Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, and more, refutes claims he was a genius during a shareholders' briefing on November 6, 2024.
As reported and translated by Automaton Media, one of the questions referred to Miyamoto as a genius. When you create some of the most famous and beloved video game franchises of all time, it's easy to see why people would think that. He replied that when he gives his yearly seminar to new Nintendo employees, many of them say things like, "I wondered what kind of person Mr. Miyamoto would be, but I was relieved to find that he’s surprisingly normal."
