Video games are considered by many to be just
entertainment-essentially void of skillful, artistic intervention.
But as any gamer knows, there's incredible technical and graphic
talent behind even a flickering Gameboy screen. You may have never
heard Shigeru Miyamoto's name, but you've probably spent many a
lazy afternoon absorbed in his work. Joining Nintendo as a video
game designer in the late 1970s, Miyamoto created the powerhouse
franchises Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Donkey
Kong-games so ubiquitous that Miyamoto was named one of TIME's 100
Most Influential People in 2007. Combining critical essays with
interviews, bibliographies, and striking visuals, Shigeru Miyamoto
unveils the artist behind thousands of glowing gaming screens,
tracing out his design decisions, aesthetic preferences, and the
material conditions that shaped his work. With this incredible (and
incredibly unknown) figure, series editors Jennifer DeWinter and
Carly Kocurek launch the Influential Video Game Designers series,
at last giving these artists the recognition they deserve.
