This reads like something from the spoof news pages of Viz. Just plain demented.

Still mostly loving Miyamoto's work though.

lol! This man is obviously out of our league, sitting right there with Einstein, Mozart, Thom Yorke and the rest of this worlds creative elite.
The world would be a different place without those people, hail to all of their odd excentric behaviours!

Its a common occurrence with all Geniuses (which Miyamoto is in his own right) they always have some odd quirk. Not sure I'd want to stand next to him at the Urinals though...

I don't think that's ever going to happen with Miyamoto-san. Well... he has to die sometime I guess. A world without Shigeru... *shudders* I don't want to think about that!

We finally get to the real reason for the console name. He saw their specs and those of the 360/PS3 and decided it was very wee.

I'm Scottish, I can make jokes like that. Shut it Razz

It's nice to praise Miyamoto for practically inventing the platform game 25 years ago but I wouldn't say that was better than his later games like Super Mario World - also, there have been several other studios, including Rare and Sega, who have created brilliant platformers that either tried a different direction from Miyamoto or improved on certain things. Super Mario Sunshine, which Miyamoto didn't have much input in to, was a disappointment in some ways but it's good to see that Super Mario Galaxy appears to live up to what people should expect of the word 'genius'.

While Nintendo seem to be slipping in terms of the quality of their games (I think, anyway) you've got to love how brilliantly mad Miyamoto is.
