    Shigeru Miyamoto is GOD. hide show

    Shigeru Miyamoto is GOD. He created the GREATEST video games in existence!!! Well, unless you prefer computer 1st person shooters. Without Nintendo, my life would be incomplete. The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time basically formed my entire being at the tender age of 3. I always snuck into my big brother's room to watch him in his "videogame addict" stage. When I showed interest in Nintendo games (which I couldn't play, so I watched), my other big brother began showing me all sorts of anime because the art was similar. I forever viewed Miyamoto-sama as a GOD, and in my heart, he always shall be.

    This is my first EVER review that got a 10! Shigeru Miyamoto went to school to be an artist in Japan. After graduating from school he didn't have a job so his parents got him a job at Nintendo of Japan the only Nintendo HQ at the time, he became Nintendo's first artist. Nintendo was a card company from the late 1800s until the 1950's when they started making TV games. This guy is Really Amazing and he Made Mario, Zelda, Donkey kong, Kirby, Star fox and much much more. He is the God of Nintendo and any other Video Game company EVER!! This guy truly gets an A++ and he's made a Perfect score!!! A 10 out of 10! Whoo-hoo!!!!

    Known by many as the royal king of video games. hide show

    It all started in 1984 when the NES came to its doors in the USA. Back then , a great video game crash almost meant the end of such thing. But when Shigeru Miyamoto introduced this very console , the world was forever changed. Although , his inventions like the R.O.D. and Power Glove had some failure up its sleeves , he was mostly known as the creator of Mario - greatest mascot in the history of mankind. People since then had marked him as their love of video gaming. But , if he is a television star , he's more of a star of video games. Yet , that's not the point of the review. Shiegru Miyamoto is the best person in video game buisness for such hits like the one I mentioned , Metroid , Zelda , and Donkey Kong. I just hope alot of people are going to learn the basics from this guy. Because he rules.

    The best game designer of all time. hide show

    I'm not really reviewing him for his tv appearances, but for all the games he has worked on. He's the one that made Nintendo what it is today, the one that brought gaming back to the masses, he is Shigeru Miyamoto. He made the first Super Mario Bros. in 1985, which is known to be the best selling video game of all time. He also created Zelda and Donkey Kong just to name off a few. I can't believe i didn't review him before this, but i guess "better late then never". Thats about all i have to say about the greatest game designer of all time. I wish his future projects will be GREAT!...No... I know they will be.
