Topic: Congrats to Shigeru Miyamoto well deserving of his award tomorrow

Shigeru Miyamoto will tomorrow receive his Bafta Fellowship award at the Game British Academy video games Awards a quote from David Parfitt Chairman of the Academy

“The Fellowship is the highest accolade the Academy can bestow on an individual for their creative work and we are honoured to have Miyamoto with us to accept his award. With previous honourees including Hitchcock, Kubrick and Pinter, it is only fitting that Miyamoto be recognized alongside these other pioneers for his groundbreaking work. He helped to develop an entire creative industry and is still a major force in its continuing success.”

The Awards will begin at 8:45pm British time and will be streamed live via the Academy's Website what do you think of this award.

Congrats to the big man

Go, Miyamoto!

I'm sure he hasn't had as much involvement in the Mario or Zelda franchise as we've been led to believe. He really doesn't deserve any award.

@Toki: Your ignorance is sad...

Ignorance, huh? Well, if you say so Metroid_Fan!

Miyamoto is a genius!!!

Seriously, who?

I don't agree. I see his "work" as devoid of any depth. The only real imagination I've ever seen is in F-Zero X.

Do you like Platforming or Action-Adventure games? He helped start those genres as well as others

No, I prefer 2-D fighting games. And that's one genre I know he hasn't contributed to.

Super Smash Bros. How many characters did Miyamoto help create.

Super Smash Bros. isn't like the fighting games I'm talking about. It doesn't use sprites, and it isn't half as much fun as KOF XI, Hokuto no Ken, or Killer Instinct 2.

@Toki: You never know. The guy's done so much it's hard to tell which genres he contributed to

Oh sly fox, changing your post, making me look stupid.

@ Iz2010
I'm certain he didn't.

Sorry, I was already changing it when you put your message up.

To sum up Toki's stance: He doesn't work in the one super-niche genre Toki supports, so Miyamoto must be a fraud.

Burn.

I'm so happy for him, he deserves every award he gets.

@Toki: Stop trolling trollboy. You really are on your own with this one.
