    Shigeru Miyamoto - Gaming God

    This is an in-depth look at what Shigeru Miyamoto has accomplished in the past twenty years while working at at Nintendo. Take a look:
    Let's think back to the year 1985; Ronald Reagan is president, the 49ers are Super Bowl champs and New Coke failed. In this age the good ol' Atari 2600 was starting to wear thin. People were growing tired of guessing what that pink blob on the screen represented and an old card company from Japan saw a great opportunity.

    Though Nintendo was already known for it's arcade games such as Donkey Kong and it's Game & Watch system nobody could have predicted what an impact they would make upon arriving into a families living room. This impact can be attributed to a pair of games: Super Mario Bros, and The Legend of Zelda. While each had it's own playstyle they shared one thing: they were fresh out of the brain of Shigeru Miyamoto.

    You wrote that? Hazzaar! Funny, Super Mario World was the first game I played aswell, and I recently descovered how to hack the Emulator ROM so I'm now having even more SMW induced fun making a whole new game.

          Oh man that was a blast from the past. Makes me remember all the fun times to be had playing SMB in day-care when the SNES was out and I had one at home, but instead, I was playing the original classic SMB.

          Man, I feel old, even though I'm really not.

          I must admit, I'm not up on my Zelda history nor have I really ever played a Zelda title. But, the info was interesting nonetheless.
