The Time 100 was published earlier this week, and Miyamoto was included on the list. What's infuriating, to me, is that they get Johnathan (Fatal1ty) Wendel to write the article, who opens with "I vividly recall playing on my Nintendo from the age of 4" which is the equivalent of asking Charles Barkley to critique a Tennis match. His article written about Miyamoto is basically moreso about the Wii, mentioning nothing about Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, or even Donkey Kong. Sure, to guys like you and me, Miyamoto is synonymous with those titles, but to the average TIME reader?
I dunno, and not to toot my own horn, but before the Wii was released
I wrote this article for gamersmark.com about Miyamoto. Though I'm sure mine needs professional editing, I'll let you decide which does Miyamoto more justice. Don't worry, I won't cry TOO much.... :'(
