>His endgame?
Nintendo is going with someone else (likely just an internal team). It was a strange arrangement that only happened because of Iwata and he's been gone for 10 years. Plus, he gets paid on sales rather than a fee or salary. This is fine normally but when the game sells 30 million, Nintendo paid him way more than they would if they just made it themselves. The fact he's making Kirby and not Smash tells you all you need to know
