The difference being when you play Mario or Zelda you aren't running around as Miyamoto's likeness. Its not as personal as somebody whose face you saw your whole childhood - as is the case with a lot of people and Leslie Nielson, or other actors.
Anybody remember his role in Forbidden Planet? Back in 1956? It was great.
Also who the hell is shiggy?
You get out right now
Don't come back until you've gained some culture.
Really, guy?
Over a game designer?
Seriously? Miyamoto is big time in world changing stuff in regards to entertainment.
You wouldn't have your meetups via these forums I bet if it weren't for him.
He's still profoundly obscure outside the context of video games.
Yeah, but video games are a fucking massive industry.
A shit ton of people know who Miyamoto is. Maybe not as "Shiggy", but he's one of the biggest names in one of the biggest entertainment industries today.

As a kid I didn't know about him and obviously couldn't identify
But now when I think about Zelda I think about Miyamoto running out on stage, sword and shield in hand, big smile plastered on his face

I have no idea what this means, but besides the fact that MKR already said he was joking -
a game designer's nickname is not really what passes for must-know culture.
I want to say Mike and Jerry's lives kinda changed with Nintendo stuff when they were kids. I would like to think with out Miyamotos creations they may not have gone this webcomic route. Thus no forums and no long lasting friendships via meetups that NaS has sometimes....
Wait this was about if Miyamoto died would anyone care right?

This reads to me like you're saying if there weren't PA forums, I wouldn't have any friends.

that's some weird conjecture you do there, dude
i would like to think without the incredible taste of cinnamon toast crunch, your parents might never have had the calories in their system in order to fuck, and you would not have been conceived to make the posts that I am responding to right now
But Miyamoto isn't putting his face out there all the time - he doesn't really make the connection with his audience, his characters do.
Like, I would be sad if Mike or Jerry passed away because they are out there with messages every two or three days. I have a handle on their personality, to a degree.
I don't know shit about Miyamoto and I've played every Zelda game thats ever been released.

also the sequel will be based on the story where captain america was a werewolf
Coming home and starting up my browser and seeing this
Not ideal
wut
wait let me guess late 80s, early 90s?

Like I'm supposed to know Ya ya's stupid name for somebody who makes video games.
I know who Shigeru Miyamoto is
what
He's still profoundly obscure outside the context of video games.
The fuck? o_O
You work with some awful people.
i think what he means is
if it weren't for him at least 2 decades of video games wouldn't have happened
which would have meant technology wouldn't have been as advanced as it currently is

I bet when I talk about this tomorrow at work no one will know who he is either. If I showed them his movies they probably wouldn't even smirk.
who cares when it was written
it was still awesome
What the hell awful places do you people work at?
I am happy to work with a bunch of people that can appreciate Airplane
Yeah and then acting like you are stupid or something for not knowing it is very strange.
Like, I know more than the average dude on the street just because I know that he developed games.
But never in my life have I heard him referred to as "shiggy"
That must be some level of knowledge I am not familiar with

I thought it was po...oh
well, it IS a twelve-step program
This reads to me like you're saying if there weren't PA forums, I wouldn't have any friends.
I feel like I should be insulted.
But then the media goes nuts on it because of how big a deal he is.
"Wait, who the heck is he?"
"The guy who made Mario."
"Holy shit."
let's talk about capwolf

Wow you guys get serious and sensitive quick. Never mind.
You are still cool NAS and always will be no matter what dimension.
