Just as a note:
Koji Kondo was a hugely influential advisor for the game's music, and wrote 4 songs for the game. But Mahito Yokota was the man in charge who did most of the music. So all that back-patting for Kondo on page 1 should go to both of these men.
And of all the praise for Miyamoto, a lot of that should go to Yoshiaki Koizumi. Miyamoto had a lot to do with concept and direction, but Koizumi was the real director who made the game a reality.
In fact, Miyamoto and Kondo weren't even in the city where the game was made. They stayed in Kyoto; the game was made by the Tokyo team.
Of course the thread has moved on to some sort of bickering... But credit where it is due. And congrats to everyone at Nintendo for a brilliant game and great sales success...
