Tomorrow, will be the 55th birthday of our favorite Nintendo game designer, Shigeru Miyamoto, born November 16, 1952. As many of you know, this man has basically built the Nintendo empire with his own two hands. Games that everyone know. Donkey Kong, Mario, Star Fox, Legend of Zelda. This man is a legend among gaming figures of the industry. With out him, we wouldn’t know the Nintendo that we know it as today. They could still be selling their Hanafuda cards or toys that they use to make eons ago in 1889. (Yup, Nintendo was around back then. Crazy huh?) With out Miyamoto we wouldn’t see the type of gaming market that thrives today.
Starting off by programming a simple yet extremely fun and addicting arcade game, Donkey Kong, Miyamoto was soon off to stardom. His famous games have been played around the word. No matter if you’re a Sony fan, Xbox fan, or a Nintendo fan, we all have a credit due to this wonderful man. I mean, who doesn’t know about hit titles such as the Mario franchise, or Star Fox? Come on, Zelda? The best gaming series of all time, of course! With out his creative and innovative qualities that he brings to Nintendo, we wouldn’t see such great games that were created in the past.
So, hope you have a great 55th, Miyamoto.
