Perched on the end of a chair in a hotel suite a few dozen stories above Midtown Manhattan the preternaturally cherubic 55-year-old Mr. Miyamoto radiated the contentment of someone who has always wanted to make fun… As the creator of the Donkey Kong Mario and Zelda series (which have collectively sold more than 350 million copies) and the person who ultimately oversees every Nintendo game Mr. Miyamoto may be personally responsible for the consumption of more billions of hours of human time than anyone around.
