Ask video-game producers which individual has had the most creative impact on
this burgeoning art form, and the name you will hear over and over again is
Shigeru Miyamoto. Chief game designer for Nintendo, Miyamoto has been called
the Walt Disney of electronic gaming. Nintendo grew to become one of the
major players in the gaming industry primarily because of a multitude of
designs born in the mind of Miyamoto-san. Starting with his first hit, Donkey
Kong, and continuing through his megafranchises Super Mario Bros. and Legend
of Zelda, Miyamoto, 53, has repeatedly proved himself a master of his craft.
Along the way, he has not only created some of our most beloved entertainment
experiences, he has also built a modern mythology that captures the joy and
wonder of exploring these playful micro-worlds.

Miyamoto's body of work is remarkable because he has always remained focused
on what actually matters in a game: the player's experience. Other designers
may obsess about testing the limits of the hardware; Miyamoto specializes in
testing the limits of imagination. His insistence upon simplicity and his
appeal to our inner child recognize that play is an important part of being
human. It's how we learn. By understanding the nature of play—the activities
that we all enjoyed as children but are later taught to eschew as adults—
Miyamoto is able to create engrossing games that rekindle very old and yet
very satisfying learning experiences in a fresh way.

As the industry grows and matures, it is challenging to remain innovative
while attracting new players to the fold. Miyamoto's response: change the
rules. Nintendo's groundbreaking new game machines—the handheld, dual-screen
Nintendo DS and the soon-to-be-released Nintendo Wii, which features a
motion-sensing remote control—offer unconventional game play without being
complex and intimidating. It's a brilliant approach. Miyamoto remains the
industry's pied piper, drawing yet another generation into his world for a
little fun.
