    General games Is Shigeru Miyamoto today's Walt Disney?

    The New York Times has a feature on the modest and charming Shigeru Miyamoto that likens him to Walt Disney. "The father of Donkey Kong, Mario, Zelda and, most recently, the Wii" has a stunning track record in the games business. The story says:



    Mr Miyamoto's work is evolving from a reliance on invented characters and fanciful, outlandish settings like Mario's Mushroom Kingdom or Zelda's mythical Hyrule. With games like Nintendogs (inspired by his pet Shetland sheepdog), Wii Sports, Wii Fit and coming next, Wii Music, Mr Miyamoto is gravitating toward everyday hobbies: pets, bowling, yoga, Hula-Hoop, music. It is as if an artist who had mastered the abstract had finally moved into realism.
    .
    "I would say that over the last five years or so, the types of games I create has changed somewhat," he said. "Whereas before I could kind of use my own imagination to create these worlds or create these games, I would say that over the last five years I've had more of a tendency to take interests or topics in my life and try to draw the entertainment out of that."

    Mario and Mickey Mouse are rather similar icons.
