Isn't he 59? Nevertheless, he's undeniably a very influential man not only for Nintendo, but the industry as a whole as well.

Seriously, Super Smash Bros started with a majority of characters he created. Awesome.

Next year he needs to have a 60 year old bash. I wonder what game idea he will come up with.dvader654
I've started to think that the legend of Miyamoto coming up with game ideas while doing mundane tasks is just a myth, perpetuated both by fans and Nintendo themselves. Maybe game ideas are pitched by other people, and they just stick with "oh, Miyamoto-san thought of it while taking a dump" so if it sucks nobody will be blamed.

I'm half-joking, of course.

Game designers get inspiration from whatever they're doing. I carry a notebook around with me so that if I think of something, I can write it down before I forget.

What's scary is your inability to detect obvious hyperbole.

Shigeru Miyamoto is not God, but happy birthday to him, nonetheless.

All artists are gods. They are the gods of the worlds they create. Miyamoto is the god of the Mushroom Kingdom, the god of Hyrule, the god of any world he created. So yes, he is a god. And happy birthday.

Had no idea he was 59.

He honestly looks a lot younger.

It's the shrooms. They're giving him powers.
