Shigeru Miyamoto, 55, has often been described as the Walt Disney of video games. Formerly Nintendo's first staff artist, now its senior managing director, Miyamoto has been responsible for some of the most beloved games in history, including Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros. and the Legend of Zelda series.
More recently, he has helped return Nintendo to the top through the development of the best-selling Nintendo DS and Wii systems, which have outsold their competition, redefined the industry and ushered in a new era of gaming. His latest act was creating a wave of casual and family games like Wii Sports, Wii Fit and his latest title, Wii Music, all of which encourage people to use their whole bodies to play.
The interview is interesting, and provides some additional information on the evolving nature of gaming, links to flow, and potential (down the line) impacts for education.
