Life after Miyamoto?

[Mario Mario]

I am serriusly scared now that you brought this up!!! I am probably going to cry all night now. Thanx. I hate to say it, But I also think that when Miyomato dies, Mario does. Now youve done it!!!!!! I am crying!!!!

Everybody STOP!!!

There is no rumor.  This is all just speculation of a scenaio nobody wants to face.  Shigeru Miyamoto appears to be in good health, and I doubt he is considering retiring within the next 3 years, if that.  Please don't cry!  I repeat- there is no rumor.

We're just killing time while waiting for another Game Help question...
