	Many hold that that title goes to ] or ]. Myself, I think it goes to ], though of course I'm nearly alone in that. :) Moreover it's easy to think Shigeru Miyamoto is the greatest game designer in the world if he's the only designer whose name you actually know. Certainly Miyamoto's games have been among the best selling, but that's usually only one factor in determining the "best"; it can even be argued it's no factor at all.

	== "Ancient" videogame ==

	When Miyamoto created "Donkey Kong," he started the move towards actual characters. "Donkey Kong" was a forerunner of video games in that it involved characters with faces and expression as opposed to mishapen colored blobs. Though it may seem inconsequential, "DK" was the begining of the era of video games that involve detail and realism.

	ancient? no. 1980 when he first created jump man was only 30 years ago
	and obviously his work then has be replaced with more recent work but this doesn't mean that it is ancient. could you consider his work from 1980 out dated? yes but it is extremly influental, without this we would still be in the dark ages of gaming.Much like the wheel in the history of man. Many thanks to you Shigeru Miamoto.

	== Chronological Tweaks ==

	I made two edits to help the timeline make sense. I cut "Miyamoto has dedicated his life to video game designing and planning" from the end of the paragraph about him getting hired at Nintendo, since it would be three more years at that point until he began devoting his life to gaming. In the pargraph about the creation of Donkey Kong, I changed "...and composing the music himself on a small electronic keyboard for Super Mario," deleting "...for Super Mario", since it's a discussion of a game in which Mario was known as Jumpman! If this is incorrect (i.e., if Miyamoto composed the music for the original Famicom/NES "Super Mario" on a small electronic keyboard but did not do so for "Donkey Kong", then someone can move the information to the appropriate spot in the discussion of "Super Mario Bros."] 18:04, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

In the same interview, Miyamoto said that he had to clean up the mess of his Chabudai Gaeshi, so he joined in as a producer and also to assist in the development of the game." - i don't fully understand the point now.

	I completely agree with the Wikipedian. The picure of Miyamoto is unrepresentative of his status in the world of video games. The fact Miyamoto is "conducting" is confusing.
