"Meet Miyamoto!"

Taken from Cube-Europe.com:

Miyamoto-san is making a rare visit to the UK to promote new Nintendo titles!

Legend of the video games world, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, will be making his first ever European public appearance exclusively at the Virgin Megastore Oxford Street on Friday 21st February at 1pm. This is your chance to meet one of the most creative minds of today and the genius behind many of the world’s most popular and enduring video games, including Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., and The Legend of Zelda.

On the day fans can buy or bring along any Miyamoto Nintendo title for him to sign, which is from a list of over 70 titles since 1981. Not only will Miyamoto-san be signing games, but the first 10 people in the queue will take away their very own signed copy of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for Game Boy Advance, a month in advance of its UK release in March, so get there early.

Lastly, but by no means least, an exclusive competition will run from Thursday 6th February on virgin.com/megastores where those in search of an extra special memento of the day will have a chance to win their very own piece of hand-drawn signed artwork by Miyamoto-san.

Stephen Lynn, Marketing Manager, Virgin Megastores comments:

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for gaming fans to meet one of the most revered figures in the video game world. We are extremely thrilled that Miyamoto-san has chosen to make such a rare appearance at the Virgin Megastore, Oxford Street. We are firmly behind bringing the best in gaming to our customers and we feel this collaboration with Nintendo will not only broaden our direct involvement in the gaming arena but will demonstrate Virgin Megastores innovation within the industry."

There were a couple of sketches of his at the Game-on exhibition. There was a mario drawing and a picture of DK. There was also some of the original Sonic oht's which they used in Adventure2: Battle

I wonder what the artwork will be? Whatever it is, it'll be worth a damn lot of money in years to come.

Put on an American accent and say you flew all the way over JUST to meet him.
Then he'll give you his banjo.

He'll then punch you in the face for importing games.

:D

yay, thanks Dringo. I shall take that for him to sign. I thought he had kept a watchful eye over them, I read it somewhere.... Just checking, though. Cheers.

I'll make my first million then travel out to Japan and spend it all trying to meet him. Yup, that's what I'll do. Oh, and I'll bring my copy of the original Mario Bros (Did he make that?)
