The creator of famed franchises Super Mario and Zelda, Shigeru Miyamoto, has been forced to commute to work by driving instead of walking or biking over fears for his safety.

The famous Nintendo creator preferred to walk or bike to work from his home to Nintendo HQ. However, the father of Super Mario has now been made by the company to drive to his workplace "for his safety and its peace of mind" according to the company's report.

The extract is from an interview by The New Yorkerwhich is a semi-autobiographical piece on the creator. Seems like Nintendo treat Miyamoto as an asset they can't do without.

Do you think Miyamoto should still be allowed to walk into work from home? The man is in his 50s and probably knows the local area. Any thoughts, feel free to post them down below.
