Miyamoto nominated for Top 100 Most Influential

Published by Christian at 11:36 am

080412miyaknight.jpgLast year, you voted Shigeru Miyamoto to 9th place on TIME’s Top 100 list of the world’s most influential people. He’s in the running again, and it’s up to you where he’ll be ranked.

The profile for the “father of modern video gaming” lists Mario, Donkey Kong, and Zelda as his greatest achievements as well as his part in creating the Wii and Super Mario Galaxy as part of his lasting contributions. On the flip side, TIME is a bit skeptical as to how well Wii Fit will fare in battling child obesity.

You can head over to TIME to vote for Mr. Miyamoto, who is currently ranked #31 and trails figures such as Ellen Page, Mark Zuckerberg, and Britney Spears. Will it stay that way? Only if you let it, people. Only if you let it. Go vote.
