Metroid Producer Reportedly Retires From Nintendo

I was really sad to hear that Kensuke Tanabe, a producer at Nintendo for almost 40 years, is retiring! He’s been a huge part of some of my favorite games. I remember playing Super Mario Bros. 2 as a kid, and it’s amazing to learn he actually directed the original Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic! back in 1987. But he’s also responsible for helping create the worlds of A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening, which are classics in The Legend of Zelda series. It’s the end of an era for sure, and he’ll be missed!
