I never heard of Nomura either, but it really doesn't matter. No matter which console you own, you owe your vote to Miyamoto. You probably wouldn't be playing video games if it wasn't for him.

Miyamoto: 10
Nomura: 0
Kojima: 1

lol my first game was Star Fox on the SNES =] then my family got an NES and Atari 2600.

"lol" then you prove my point. Nintendo would've gone under long before StarFox if Miyamoto hadn't saved them with Donkey Kong back in the arcades. /phail

how is it fail? I just dislike msot Mario games minus say 5.

My point isn't that the first game people play is a Miyamoto game. My point is that Miyamoto saved Nintendo, which brought back console gaming. If making games capable of saving an industry doesn't make you a great developer, I don't know what does.

 if Mario didnt save the industry Sonic would have.

A few things.

 

Sonic's existence is owed to Mario since Sonic was created to compete with Mario. Mario ibntroduced Mascots and was a huge success.

Donkey Kong was created by Miyamoto

So were Zelda, Mario, and coutnless Franchises were created by this guy. You don't have to like his games but as a developer he is hte most influentual of all time. It is like Citizen Kane...I feel the movie was crap and overrated but there is no doubt of its influence despite Renoir's superior works. However I also happen to like Miyamato's stuff.

 

Also A Sunday New York Times profile published in May 2008 called Miyamoto "the world's most famous and influential video-game designer".

 

It is a universal sentiment not just shared by a few fanboys on the net but by most of the peers in his industry and the media that reports it. He is also the only person on the list that could be recognized by a non gamer. a Status rare for the industry.

 

Miyamoto: 53
Kojima: 13
Nomura: 2
Jaffe: 2
Sakaguchi:2
Shigesato Itoi: 1
CliffyB:1
Molyneux: 0
Mikami: 0
