Shigeru Miyamoto is best known as the creator of many of Nintendo's most beloved characters and franchises including Mario, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, Pikmin, F-Zero, Wave Race, and Nintendogs. He was also the chief designer of Nintendo's Touch! Generation console series, which includes the Nintendo DS, Wii, and 3DS.
5. The Lost Odyssey song you picked in the video was awful. Why didn't you just give us a One-winged Angel or one of the original ff themes?
"
If you have any idea where that is played an all, you'd be saying that's better than one winged angel. "
Well then what you are really saying is that the event the song is played over is nice. That doesn't make the actual musical piece good. I could play the Pokemon theme over Aeris death scene and that wouldn't necessairily make the Pokemon theme a good song (it is tho)
Of course they did but i stopped being a fan of him when i realized 10 years ago most of the games he makes atleast the bigger ones are just remakes.
Legend of zelda franchise is just one remake after another with Zelda 2 links adventure the only original property. Mario franchise beyond the none series ones are just remakes with all most the exact same story every single time.

Lol, i suppose thats mostly true, though i'd say he did some great work when he brought Mario and Zelda to 3d for the first time.

You know Hiroshi Yamauchi actually was in charge of mario 64?

Mario is seen for the first time in 3D on the Nintendo 64. Super Mario 64 not only boasts surpassing 11.8 million copies sold, but it is also one of the best-selling video games in the USA. It is constantly praised as one of the greatest games of all time.
US Title ScreenOverview
Inarguably the Nintendo 64's most anticipated launch title, Super Mario 64 was released on September 29, 1996. It has sold around 11 million copies, making it the best-selling Nintendo 64 game as well as the second most popular game on the Wii's Virtual Console. In making the leap to 3D, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto retooled the series' trademark gameplay to focus as much on exploration as traditional action. Super Mario 64 is hailed as having revolutionized the platformer genre on its release.
Miyamoto definitely deserves it. He created a few of the most memorable franchises in gaming history and a ton of my favorite games. He's a veteran in the industry, but he's state consistent for the most part.
Heres the real question. Has Miyamoto ever made a "Bad" game? a lot of the creators on the list have been involved in some shit, but Miyamoto has come through without a wart.

Wii Music is a game the same way Jam Sessions is a game. It isn't. In almost any measurement of what makes something a game, Wii Music fails. There is no score, there is no winner, there is no end. Wii Music is nothing but a tool, and in that regard, it isn't bad. It's no more of a game than Korg DS 10 or Jam Sessions.
Smug, if we're gonna talk people using electric guitar in their game's music, it's Michiru Yamane. On top of not being so bad to look at, she wrote this:
There's another song on the soundtrack that's actually better than that that features electric, but this better personifies what you mean by it. Also, her choral work just destroys his. But, I kinda have to blame the singers. They sounded half-drunk on that song.
The way I see it, in every facet, that composer is an imitator that just didn't get it right, while Yamane made what is universally called some of the best music to grace a game. Fuck, Castlevania is lauded for its music alone, and has influenced like none other, except possibly the composer for Final Fantasy, and Koji Kondo.
Ah yes, Castlevania truly has some great music. Including the ones you showed off, I love the montage Video Games Live did (its available on Itunes) and the opening theme for Order of Ecclesia.
It annoys me when people don't give Miyamoto ENOUGH credit. People never look further than th credits in the back of the manual in deciding what Miyamoto's role was in a game. The Structure at Nintendo doesn't lend itself well to the typical western ideas of Producer and director so you can't assume Miyamoto's level of involvement from that alone. In many interviews it has been stated that Miyamoto's involvement in Pikmin was half director/ half producer (see this interview: http://www.miyamotoshrine.com/theman/interviews/102701.shtml) and he came up with the basic game design to begin with! He was VERY heavily invoved with Ocarina of Time (directoral and producer roles) and he also had a large degree of involvement with Super Mario Galaxy (See the Iwata asks interviews).
I'm not trying to take away from the momentous achievements of such greats as Eiji Aonuma and Takashi Tezuka who obviously deserve a lot of credit, but it really annoys me when people don't give Miyamoto all the credit he deserves.
