Day 28 – Favorite game developer
I am going to go with the obvious choice and pick Shigeru Miyamoto. His contributions, as a director/designer/producer at Nintendo, have had a huge impact on my gaming life.
Looking at it from a broader perspective I could just pick Nintendo EAD. But I have found the gaming industry is rather volatile. Though Miyamoto-san didn’t create games in a vacuum, it is unlikely that the entire Super Mario team is still working at Nintendo. Though, honestly, it is far more likely in Japan than it is here.
Whatever the case, since Nintendo has chosen to give Miyamoto-san his due, I can only assume that the projects he worked on were heavily influenced by his vision for the games.
Shigeru Miyamoto is also one of the few developers to enjoy almost constant success through out a very long career.
I will add that my other pick was the creator of Diablo…<3

That Diablo guy… pffft…
I couldn’t agree more with your pick. Simply the greatest video game creator of all time.
