| Donkey_Kong:
Shigeru Miyamoto :notworthy: He even has a cool name! I'm ashamed that I was not aware of DK creator until watching this show. :-[ Certainly there are arcade history buffs here at BYOAC. I have a question for you...How involved was Miyamoto on the out of control suceeding titles that came from the ole great one, DK? DKJ, MB, SMB, way too many too list. I'm most interested in the 3 I listed though. EDIT: Come to think of it...I'm pretty sure I remember seeing his name on the credits on alot of suceeding console Mario games! Am I right? Needless to say this show is quickly becoming a great arcade history lesson for me. |

He was directly involved with DK, DK Jr, Mario Bros, and Super Mario Bros. Pretty much from there he started working on console games. He's most noted for creating the Super Mario, Zelda, and Metroid series. Since he's often credited as "producer" it's hard to say how much he's directly influenced. Here's a more complete list: http://starmen.net/credits/shigerumiyamoto.php BTW, if you like DK/DK Jr, you should try Donkey Kong for the original Game Boy. most people I talk to never played this, but it's the only direct sequel to the Donkey Kong games. This was kind of continued with the first Mario vs Donkey Kong game on GBA too. Mario vs DK 2 seems too puzzle-based. |
