metroid and kid icarus are not bad things to be known for as a software designer designer. plus i think where yokoi shines most is in coming up with intuitive ways of controlling games, so that design for him is inclusive both of software and hardware. the puzzle game gunpey is also an ingenious little game which in a better world would be at least as well known as dr. mario or tetris attack, if not tetris itself.

I was under the impression Yokoi acted as producer on Metroid and Kid Icarus, not as designer.

That's what it says on Wikipedia. It says Satoru Okada was the Game Director.
