Shigeru Miyamoto takes top honors in Time’s Most Influential poll

April 29th, 2008 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Written by Valay

For more than a few weeks, Time Magazine has been hosting a poll on its website to determine the most influential person of 2008. Now, the voting has ended and the dust has settled. Immediately, Shigeru Miyamoto would come to the mind of any video gamer as being influential for his innovative ideas. Miyamoto was riding in the #2 slot for a number of days, but eventually outperformed Rain - last year’s winner - by 4 points. Last year, Miyamoto was voted the ninth most influential person. This year, however, the Wii’s continued success, coupled with the fact that Miyamoto is a very respected member of the video game industry, helped boost his point total. Congratulations to Mr. Miyamoto!

Now here is a man that deserves the honor. All I got to say is GO GO MR. MIYAMOTO!!

Wow, just wow. That is incredible for someone whose major contributions are in gaming to take top honors. I think it is more than deserved, the man has been around for so long and still making contributions of enormous magnitude. The thing that put him over the top this year was that now those contributions are effecting more & more people every day.

Congratz!

That's great. I don't know who else was up for contention but I'm sure Miyamoto is as good a choice as any out there.

Well deserved.
