"The Wii was stupid, it's not a real exercise instead go to a gym."You think I voted for him because of the Wii? Miyamoto is a founding father of the gaming industry and one of the most creative minds of our time. I wouldn't rank him among the top ten most influential people out of all six billion alive today, but he's definitely important.
You dumbass, he's influential because of the games he makes.Nearly EVERYONE in the whole world has heard of Mario. And a lot of people in the world play video games because of him.
Shigeru Miyamoto definitely deserves a spot on the Time top 100, he revolutionized the gaming scene saving it from the stagnate Atari pool that was destined to die out and his creativity building these worlds; Hyrule of the Legend of Zelda, Mushroom Kingdom of Mario Bros, among others brought a fresh look at the idea of viewing videogames as not just a fun distraction, but a new form of art and storytelling.Without Shigeru Miyamoto, we would not only have videogames being taken more seriously. But without him and Nintendo, videogames would of ceased to exist.

Referencing Chris Tucker invalidates any credibility you might've had.
