what about Will Wright ? he made one game the sims.

Fumito Ueda is known for being a perfectionist , he doesnt  release a game until he is sure its exactly like what he want it to be in his visions, that itself is amazing.

 

One game??  Even if you ignore Spore, please tell me that's hyperbole.  I don't want to consider myself old for knowing about SimCity when younger gamers apparently never even heard of it.

 

i guess you miss understood me , i meant Sim games (SimCity) and their spin offs (SimEarth , The Sims , SimAnimals ...ect )

You consider the Sim games and their spinoffs one game?

Have you played them?  They're all extremly different.

Okay, I guess I understand what you meant but lumping them all together and saying one game isn't fair considering how they've evolved over the years.  The Sims 'Resort' may just be an expansion to The Sims but both are vastly different to the original SimCity.  It's no more fair to lump them all together than it is to consider all the Mario games one game. 

There's a reason he's been given more than one lifetime acheivement award and it's because he's put out several memorable games (albeit in one "franchise") over the last two decades.



Now that I think about it, though, Gunpei Yokoi -The man behind "lateral thinking of withered technology," which has now saved gaming not once but twice- should have had either first or second.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

lol surprise surprise. If they didn't give it to Miyamoto they would have gotten killed. The man freaking deserves it though. I can't think of a single game dev. that has come up with this many iconic characters.

I'm extremely happy to see Sakaguchi and Kojima in the top 10.

You didn't, should I add more Mario to my sig/ profile or something then?




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

 Not to mention that he singlehandedly invented portable gaming.



Well deserved for Mr. Miyamoto. He has surely earned his spot. Good top 10 as well. No surprise to see Mr. Wright at #3. Poor tremble, though, trying to be a troll. Oh well.

I think I would have liked to see Kojima a little higher but still a top 10 spot was well deserved as it is.

Will Wright does NOT deserve third place.

 

 How does the guy who brought us the best PC game ever not deserve third place?

In case you don't know I'm referring to the Sims.
