Forums - Gaming - The Top 10 Men Behind The Games

Haha... that's a pretty bad list, and it's ordered pretty shoddily.

It's really silly to have any of those guys ahead of Miyamoto.

I can see guys you could argue being equals... but none of them are on that list.

People like Sid Meyer, Will Wright... put these guys to shame.  Gunpei as mentioned... I mean... wow.



Around the Network

Here is information on Gunpei http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpei_Yokoi He was the producer of metroid while Yoshio was the Director.



hmm it seems alot think will wright should of been in that list

That's because Will wright actually makes like... revolutionary games... and he's made a number of them.

 yeah he does but they probably didnt list him cause of how spore isnt released yet

My top 3:

3.- Hironobu Sakaguchi(Final Fantasy, one of the best selling franchise)
2.- Satoshi Tajiri(Pokemon, the best selling franchise behind Mario)
1.- Shigeru Miyamoto(Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, etc.)



^kojima might also deserve to be in the top three,he made a great series even though it isnt one of the best selling

I wish I could go back in time and stab that Pokemon guy in the throat.

 

what?....why? don't like pokemon much?



Granted he doesn't have a ton of games, but the lack of Ueda makes me sad.

Even so, this list seems awfully biased against western devs.  I guess it could be that a lot of Japanese dev teams seem to be known by one main figurehead.
