wheres Gunpei Yokoi, and Shinji Mikami....

@Ari_Gold:

They have been mentioned.

lol I think this is the first time I have ever read a topic and completely disagreed with everything SSJ said.

In other news, Nomura has done jack shit. Kojima has done 1 series. SSJ suggested Mark Rein which made my ribs hurt.

If you are going to try and give Miyamoto competition why don't you pick some ACTUAL good developers. How about Shinji Mikami, Hiranobu Sakaguchi, Gunpei Yokoi, Eiji Aonuma, and Gabe Newell (he may be fat but he gets it done!).

@naznatips:

Though I'm not a tremendous fan of his, that's not really fair to Kojima. He has worked on Policenauts, Snatcher, the Boktai/Lunar Knights series, and the Zone of the Enders series, all of which have worth.

Fine fine you can keep Kojima. Still, Nomura? Only Soriku would ever put him on a greatest developers of all time list.

@naznatips:

Agreed, absolutely. Many posts (including several of my own) have rightfully questioned his inclusion with such company.

Harsh as always naz to anyone who does not agree with you.

Nomura is not yet done enough to stand with them

however, if his work continues like it has he will easily one day stand with them. everything hes done has done extremely well.

Nazatips, you're a beast! Finaly someone is smart enough to include Shinji Mikami!

I vote we add other developers to the list. So, I'm going to redo this. I will list the developer, then what he is known for/what he's done.

Then I'll re-list the developers/designers for voting.

Shigeru Miyamoto - Creator of Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, Star Fox, and various other famous Nintendo franchises. Has been developing longer than any other current developer.

Gunpei Yokoi - Creator of various Nintendo-branded toys, Game & Watch, GameBoy, Virtual Boy, and WonderSwan. Possibly the entire reason Nintendo got serious about the videogame business in the first place.

Yoshinori Kitase - Directed and produced a wide variety of Final Fantasy titles, also co-producer of all Kingdom Hearts games and designer for Romancing SaGa.

Keiji Inafune - Character designer of MegaMan and Street Fighter game series', producer of Onimusha and Dead Rising game series'.

Takashi Tezuka - Director and supervisor in development for most Mario- and Zelda-related titles, creator of the Boo character.

Fumito Ueda - Director and lead designer of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Also worked on Enemy Zero.

Eiji Aonuma - Director responsible for most Zelda titles, from Ocarina of Time onward.

Tetsuya Nomura - Director and character designer for Final Fantasy games from VII onward. Also responsible for Parasite Eve and Kingdom Hearts series, as well as a few other games.
