In a business where a one-hit wonder can be considered an unqualified
success, Miyamoto has created not only a tall stack of videogame hits
but a handful of global pop-culture franchises. Beginning in 1981
with the coin-op arcade game Donkey Kong, and continuing with Super
Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda - one version of which Shift
magazine called the "Citizen Kane of videogames" - Miyamoto has built
Nintendo into a powerhouse. He's responsible for six of the top ten
best-selling console games of all time, moving 300 million-plus units
and generating $10 billion in revenue. The Mario series alone has
racked up more than $7 billion (compared with $3.5 billion at the box
office for the Star Wars movies). Last year's Super Mario Sunshine
promptly set a record by selling 350,000 copies in its first 10 days
on the US market.
At 50, Miyamoto is one of the most successful artists of the past
century. And his success hasn't been merely financial. He has created
the game industry's only instantly recognizable aesthetic - colorful,
cartoonish, whimsical. He also pioneered a slew of features, from 3-D
to nonlinear gameplay to original music, that serve as a kind of DNA
for today's titles. That has earned him the respect, and often awe,
of fellow designers. Says Toshihiro Nagoshi, creator of Super Monkey
Ball, "To me, Miyamoto is like God."
