As you may have heard before, most of the world is running short on Wii systems at the moment; in the U.K., Nintendo pulled their Wii television ads after selling out their entire inventory in advance of Christmas.  In light of that, it appears that The Sun is attempting to educate British consumers on "the man to blame for the nation's rage" with a brief article on Shigeru Miyamoto.  The article quickly goes through Miyamoto's history with Nintendo, but doesn't really have much in the way of new information.  In fact, the only "new" tidbit I noticed concerned Miyamoto's wife being an admin worker at Nintendo before the couple met.

Overall, it's a fairly good little summary article, even if the writer seems to have the idea that Miyamoto is president of NCL.  I'd imagine Iwata would be surprised to hear that.
Let's do the Mario, all together now!

What do we know about his wife, anyway?

She likes simple games.
That was a joke.

Touché.

And while this is just a hunch, I bet she can bake some delicious cakes.
