Shigeru Miyamoto is the George Lucas of video games.
If not, Shigeru Miyamoto is a god to video games.
In my opinion and many others he is certainly that, creating titles that remain unequal within the gaming world.
In the Past to present day, his conceptual advances are giant leaps for game theory.
Early innovations like the scrolling screen helped Nintendo to break from the rigid single-screen arcade mode and introduced new ideas of space.
Building on that foundation, Super Mario Brothers was one of the first games that gave players a world to experience and a lot of fun to boot.
Essentially then he IS the father of modern console gaming. In the pantheon of game designers, he reigns supreme. He has created the most memorable titles in video game history and is responsible for some of the most recognizable characters in the world, now who would argue with that?
His inspiration as he always states lies in his past childhood, reminiscent of a Mario or Link exploring depths and caves. That Miyamoto's games are adventures would come as no surprise then would they?. But as trivial and weird as it may seem, this was the fuel behind his ideas and the advancement of the multi company gaming empire.
Why?
In the world of computer games. The small Japanese man created several of the most popular and trend-setting titles in video-game history, including "Donkey Kong" ,"Super Mario Bros." and "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time".
These games where HUGE crowd pullers, in a collection of wonderous titles crafted by him as well, but not on the same scale.
These games were key to Nintendo becoming a leading producer of video games, making for a lively competition with archrival Sony.
Regardless of the statistics of Nintendo games or the popularity within the older market, the original "Mario" game and its sequels alone have sold more than 140 million units!, now what about that?!!.
In my opinion the man is a genius and a huge inspiration to many within the gaming world, to many he is a hero and some would argue with this but, he is the saviour within the gaming world and the driving force regardless of the company.
Miyamoto remains a perfectionist, always has and always will be.

Nope. I don't really like meandering adventure games an happy-happy Mario in Sunshine land.
I like games that get my heart racing. Hence, tagline.

LOL!!!
I much prefer Kojima, but I agree, he is excellent at what he does. As TBN said, his games are not really my style, but doesn't mean their not good.
