Even though this is a little old now, I figured I would post it anyway because I can!

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto ended up being number 1 on TIME magazines 100 most influential people! The master game designer managed to top the likes of Al Gore, Will Smith, Lance Armstrong, Arnold Schwarzenegger and even Simon Cowell! Simon Cowell!!

We would like to congratulate Shigeru Miyamoto for earning such a prestigious honor and making such fantastic video games.  Mario for the win!
