Miyamoto Wins Economist Award

Last night, famed Nintendo developer and creator of Mario and Zelda, Shigeru Miyamoto, was awarded with The Economist’s Innovation Award for Consumer Goods. The ceremony took place at London’s Science Museum. Awards are selected by an independent judging panel of industry experts.

“No one is more identified with modern video games than Shigeru Miyamoto,” said Tom Standage, business editor at The Economist. “His pioneering vision and creativity truly created a new category of entertainment.”

Congrats, Shiggy.
