In TIME magazine's 2007 top 100 most influential people poll, Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto is handily sweeping the polls at no. 2, above big names such as US president George Bush (guess that's not too surprising!), and founder of Microsoft Bill Gates.
According to the listing, his pros are, "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."
While the cons are, "His perfectionist tendencies often result in games being significantly delayed and, despite the Wii's gameplay innovation, its graphics are far behind the competition."
So everyone, vote for Shiggy now! He deserves it.
