Goro Abe has retired from Nintendo

Goro Abe, who is renowned for his work on the WarioWare series, has announced on X that he has retired from Nintendo after being with the Kyoto-based company since 1999. Mr. Abe will now be working as a professor at Osaka Electric Communication University helping students with the new Game and Social Design Major. Here’s a machine translated version of his post on the social network.

“I resigned from Nintendo at the end of February. Starting in April, I will be working as a professor at Osaka Electric Communication University. My affiliation will be the newly established “Game and Social Design Major.” I plan to engage in research related to games and game production, so I hope to connect with an even broader range of people in various ways than before.”
