The Mario Zelda guy.

Edit: It's safe, people. I don't think you can change the poll title.

Without Miyamoto, neither Kojima or Sakaguchi would've ever made games. That's how big of an influence Miyamoto was on the consoles.

Japan's biggest game series is sure as hell not FF. Dragon Quest or Mario, more than anything. Regardless, who else could deserve such a title besides Shiggy himself?

I agree

all i can say is i have probably put in nearly 2k hours into Sim City 3000...its one of the best games ever, it was a perfect balance of fun and serious management...then 4 came along and guffed it up and dissapointed me :(

Yeah, FF13 is awesome, but as far as popularity and sales, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, and Mario all out-do FF.

You do realize that Kojima would've voted for Miyamoto himself if he was on this forum and saw the poll?

Miyamoto (Mario, Zelda, Pikmin) and Michel Ancel (Rayman, Rayman 2, Beyond Good and Evil) are my two favourite developers of all time, but one has done a lot more than the other so Miyamoto it is.

Valve, followed closely by Bioware for me. But I guess my favorite on the list would be Kojima.

Sid Meier. The man has created so many different types of games that it's not even close. Flight sims, Civilization, Pirates, and Railroad Tycoon just to name a few. Will Wright is also a legend. His sandbox games were such a radical departure from the other games coming out at that time. His games are enjoyable for everybody, from seasoned gamers to the casual crowd.

Kojima, Wright, Sakaguchi, and Meier don't even deserve a spot on the poll. Where are Yu Suzuki, Yuji Naka, Shinji Mikami, Eiji Aonuma, Gunpei Yokoi, and Warren Spector? Not that it matters, because the only answer is Shigeru Miyamoto. His games revived a floundering industry. Donkey Kong was the first ever game in which the story was developed before any other aspect of the game. He created and contributed to many of the greatest characters, series, and individual games of all time. Miyamoto IS video gaming. No single person has affected the path of the industry more than he has.

Out of those, Hideo Kojima. The Metal Gear series is so damn good, I love the story, it really makes you think. The Metal Gear Solid games are so cinematic. I still need to buy MGS4, I don't know why I'm still putting it off.

I'd like to know what John Carmack ISN'T doing on this list. Seriously. Way more influence on the industry than Kojima.

Thinking because of a provocative message and thinking because the plot's so convoluted that your brain hurts after trying to figure out just what the hell's going on are 2 different things.

...and on topic, Sid Meier.

What Miyamoto is to the East and consoles, Meier is to the West and the PC.

Without question Miyamoto. Think about it. An entire company has been made extremely successful and sustainable from the brainchilds of one man. What would Nintendo be without Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid (yea I know he's not the creator but he has had his hand in past games), Star Fox, Animal Crossing, F-Zero and Pikmin? I mean, Christ, Nintendo would be nothing without him.

Not only has he come up with these ideas and executed them flawlessly, he's managed to keep them relatively fresh throughout the years, except Zelda which is in danger of becoming stale. The guy's inarguably a genius, and the most successful gaming company ever owes it's success in large part due to him.
