Absent for the first time! List of producers of Mario Kart World is not seen in Shigeru Miyamoto
"Mario Kart World" released on June 5 is the first game of Switch2. Players have discovered an unusual phenomenon in the production staff list: Shigeru Miyamoto, the core character of the series, neither appeared on the development team list nor was included in the "Special Thanks" session. Famous Nintendo player @Stealth40k pointed out that this is the first time since the series was born in 1992, Shigeru Miyamoto was absent from the signature of the main work.
Although Shigeru Miyamoto had not participated in the development of the derivative works "Mario Kart Tour" and "Mario Kart LIVE:HOME CIRCUIT", as the founder of the series, his absence in the orthodox sequel still sparked heated discussions among netizens.
According to people familiar with the matter, Shigeru Miyamoto, 72, will currently devote his main energy to Nintendo film and television projects (including the live-action movie of "The Legend of Zelda"), the "Super Nintendo World" expansion project of Universal Studios Osaka, and the construction of the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, which is scheduled to open in 2027.
