said interview for those who have missed it. It's still the best interview, in the history of interviews.

That's an idiotic statement, hands down. The gaming community doesn't tolerate a paper tiger. Romero made wild claims, delivered a crap product, and now he's the laughing stock of the gaming industry. Itagaki backs up his bragging with quality product that moves units and gets praise from the critics. Just because you don't like him or his games doesn't mean they aren't good or his boosts aren't accurate.

Nope! The first two Ninja Gaiden games for the NES were done by some guy named "S. Sakurazaki" according to the game's credits.

Folks did go by peudonyms in those days though.

Let's be real here.

You can't compare Miyamoto to itagaki.

One, thought not lately, has made some of the greatest games of all time. The other is itagaki.

Not a huge fan of Miyamoto, but you have to give the man his due for what he's created.

I remember seeing that factoid as well about Itagaki not playing the original Ninja Gaidens. I could care less though.

But be nice to Treasure and SNK, you're talking to a fanboy of both of em. ;)

Miyamotto basically invented the platforming sidescroller, Boroguht the RPG to the mainstream vai a game like Zelda, has made adventure shooters like Metroid, psudeo strategy like Pikmin. The list goes on

Miyamoto did not create Metroid. That was created by the engineer behind the Gameboy. I can't think of his name, Yukei?
