Shigeru Miyamoto Nominated in Time Magazine

via kotaku

Making it as one of the 200 candidates of Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People of the Year" is everyone's favorite Nintendo game designer, Shigeru Miyamoto. Time Magazine has our little Shiggy listed as a 54 year-old, "Game Designer for Nintendo game systems" who has never graced the cover or anywhere in the Time 100 issues. His achievements, according to Time include:

PRO: Most successful game designer, creator of Super Mario, Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda, whose new platform, the Wii, is currently the top-selling game console.
CON: His perfectionist tendencies often result in games being significantly delayed and, despite the Wii's gameplay innovation, its graphics are far behind the competition.


Very detailed as you can see. Although the description isn't very long, if you check out his profile up on their site, you can vote for just how influential you think he is, and who knows, maybe with enough votes, he can be crowned Prom Queen.
