- In this video, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at the life and work of arguably the video game industry's most impactful man. He created the highest grossing video game franchise of all time with Super Mario, and spearheaded other incredibly successful and revered franchises such as Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, F-Zero, Pikmin, and Nintendogs to name a few. He's forced the industry to reconsider what video games can be on more than one ocassion, and he's mentored an entire generation of developers at Nintendo that are now coming into their own. This is a man like no other, this is Shigeru Miyamoto.

I bumped into him randomly on a trip to Brighton, (England). I couldn’t believe it, no one around recognised him, he was just wondering the shopping lanes, albeit with a few young female entourage. I just had to go over, shake his hand and bowed courteously and thanked him. It was a very magical moment for a life-long gamer.
then everyone clapped.
@@That_Lady_Charlieit’s not that unbelievable
Your favorite Martian?

Please tell me you didn't bow
Myamoto has been through every era of Nintendo, been through the highs and lows, and even took a bath at his work. He’s a living legend
Nintendo was founded in 1889
I get what you're saying but yeah
He is Nintendo
Every era of video gaming Nintendo
Gumpei Tokio was the original innovator at the company, Shigeru was his Golden boy, his besr apprentice, and succesor.
danieljimenez1989
Its "Gunpei Yokoi"
It's no exaggeration to say we wouldn't HAVE the modern gaming industry without Shigeru Miyamoto. Not just all of Nintendo's beloved characters, but the idea of video games as a household medium flow directly from his work. The man is Walt Disney/Stan Lee-level influential.
thats because america f'ed up the first one with trash!

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

For 71, he looks really good. Hope he lives to 100+ and keeps bringing inspiration to the masses.
I hope he retires soon and enjoys the rest of his life. It’s time for the next generation to take his place in the industry.
@@Themacattack1209Once he leaves Nintendo, there wont be anything really left from the old era...he's the last pillar holding up Nintendo's magic. Tezuka is still there, and no offence to him, but he's not a pillar that supports that magic. Without Miyamoto Nintendo will be a new era, and sadly I don't think I will want to be part of that Nintendo.
@@ItApproaches What would've been like if Nintendo disbands in honor of Miyamoto's passing?
@@tlst94 That wouldn't be smart idea. I'm not saying they can't keep going without him. They can still make fun games, but there will be a noticeable something missing, just like after Iwata died....the soul and heart of Nintendo left...the NX became the switch was not what Iwata originally planned. It was lacking the Nintendo charm of a game console Nintendo Directs lost a lot of heart without Iwata being in them. Then Reggie retiring meant Nintendo of America lost it's charm. They can still make good games, but it's just going to be...not the same...new people will grow up and enjoy a new Nintendo. Just means my time with them has run it's course...all things must come to an end.
Rest in peace

Its scary how relevant this quote has become in 2023 with the industry wide "Overdelivery" theroy destroying the Triple A market.
It's 2024 mate 😅
And we continue to see Nintendo being (mostly) very patient between announcements and releases! Mario, Zelda, and Pikmin continue to have long gaps between releases, and critically acclaimed games every time!
If only this applied to Pokemon
@@vegg6408yep Pokémon is the only outlier for Nintendo and it’s a shame
@@vegg6408 pokémon prints money, why bother? People complaining means nothing if they keep buying it.
Crazy to think that we only got Mario because a Popeye licensed game fell through
thank God!
At least Popeye yielded to a now important cultural icon then. You can't say the same about the Emoji Movie!
Same with grand theft auto but it was kirby instead of popeye
Yeah, it's crazy how much iconic video games we got just because copyright didn't come through
I hope that Miyamoto and Tezuka can publish a big book on game design similar to "The Illusion of Life" but for video games.
Same thing for Masahiro Sakurai on his Creating Games series.
In other hands i really wanted a book from koji kondo because you know hes probably one of the best musicians in gaming
Imagine them building a real life Pokedex. That shows everything they've worked on and accomplished.

Mario and Zelda alone is legendary but he kept creating more master works. A true creative genius.
They’re masterworks all. You can’t go wrong
There were better games than Mario and Zelda posted to user groups from the early 80's and written entirely by single anonymous programmers using BASIC. Mario and Zelda weren't legendary. They were commercially successful. There is a vast difference.
@ZennExile By your logic, those games aren't legendary either because there's better games. The big difference is how influential Mario and Zelda were/are
@@louiepikmin3184 influence is meaningless. You're just a brainscrubbed social media addict fully indoctrinated into the corporate model. You could run for a week away from the elephant and it would still be touching your nose when you turned around.
@@ZennExilewell let’s see. The secondary definition of legendary (after a quick google search) states that it describes something “remarkable enough to be famous; very well known.” Now I don’t know what your criteria for something “remarkable” is but I’d say giving an entire medium a kickstart after a crash is pretty damn remarkable, regardless of who many people wrote it or what language it was made in.
Hi everyone, I helped a little bit with this video. I have an archive of Shigeru Miyamoto interviews and things he has written with over 700 entries. There's a link in the description if you want to check it out.
Thank you for your contribution, dude!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Always thankful for people who help out Shane.
When you said "over 700 entries", it sounded like you meant a real life Pokedex. lol

1:44-1:46 If you ever wanted to know why a lot of the music to the Mario games features the banjo or bluegrass, there's the answer.
There's probably no greater indicator of how important you are to the video game industry and to the company you work for than rumors of your retirement causing your company's stock to briefly lose half their value in a speculator panic.
true that
The day Miyamoto-San passes away is the day the entire gaming world cries. 😭
Good thing Japan has one of the longest average lifespans in the world.
hard to know what video gaming would be without this absolute LEGEND!
Insane to think how old Miyamoto is! He's an old man!
But man, he shaped so many childhoods for the better!
To this day, when I think of a hero, I always imagine them with a sword thanks the Zelda series!
It's gonna be sad when he eventually passes.
Him, Reggie, and Iwata were the Nintendo trio.
A trip we all got to take some day
Reggie did little for Nintendo beyond PR...don't put him in the same category as genuine creative geniuses like Iwata and Miyamoto.
@@L33PL4Y He was literally CEO of Nintendo of America
@@Valcuda No he wasn't. He was COO.
And Gunpei too
You guys did a great job summarizing how legendary this man is! I personally think if Tezuka and Aunuma are mentioned, who both are legendary in their own right, we have to acknowledge the one and only Yoshiaki Koizumi!
Yeah, let's not downplay Koizumi-san's contributions to Nintendo.
Don't forget the importance of sound design and Koji Kondo.
@@bobbleton6517 Koji Kondo is the GOAT!
I'd love to see videos on Takashi Tezuka, Yoshiaki Koizumi and Kenta Motokura.
These 3 men, along with of course Shigeru Miyamoto, are what I'd consider the 4 pillars of the Mario franchise.
Also Koji Kondo.
Those guys wouldnt have a job in Nintendo if Yamauchi didnt turn his family's business into an electronic toy company.
I find the fact that Shigeru Miyamoto, famed game designer from Japan, loves bluegrass, to be hysterical.
Same here. I did a double take while listening.
And was made a FRENCH knight
all his games show love and are clearly influenced by american culture. Probably had to do with the Disney and Western movies he watched
I guess that explains a couple of the songs in Zelda
Right, a Namekian "blue grass". lol
Really love historical documentaries about video game development through time. This reminds me of some of the Gaming Historian’s work, which I really love. More like this please!
It’s quite a shame how others like Keiji Inafune, the one behind all those Megaman games we got back then and Yuji Naka the guy behind Sonic, all couldn’t live long enough to keep their legacies and reputations as great as Miyamoto’s.
You're only as good as what you last release in the entertainment industry. Keiji Inafune didn't focus on just Mighty No 9 as a single skew, he tried to make it into a franchise at the same time so there wasn't the focus needed to make an actual good product.
Keiji Inafune is a complete fraud and he didn't have ANYTHING to do with Mega Man aside from drawing the art.
Inafune is like Bob Kane taking the credit for creating Batman. He had virtually nothing to do with it, it was 98% Bill Finger.
Inafune is a fraud on the level of Bob Kane.
@@callak_9974 And I believe this is Inafune's greatest flaw. More than anything, he was the "idea man" behind the franchise that made him famous - and he tried to force lightning to strike twice because he did it once with Mega Man. He focused more on the marketing and ideas behind it rather than the product itself... and woof, did it ever show lol.
Keiji Inafune and Yuji Naka are still alive
yuji naka isnt half as good of the developer that miyamoto is, he's a total belligerent that pretty much ruined half of his own titles by forcing totally unrealistic expectations and deadlines on his teams and gets pissy when they aren't able to deliver a good product by those deadlines. dude is probably half the reason that sega went so far down under given how antagonistic he treated sega of america
Even if he didn’t have a direct hand in them, so many other characters and franchises wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for Miyamoto.
Also, it’s wild that Miyamoto has been through three presidents in Yamauchi, Iwata, and now Furukawa.
There was another President, the one after Iwata died, but he quit like a year later if I remember.
_“A delayed game is eventually good, a rushed game is forever bad.”_
I cannot imagine Nintendo without Miyamoto or how different the Nintendo as a company would be or even the video game industry without his influence, genius ideas and innovations, thank-you-so-much-a-for everything Miyamoto-San!
It’s disputed whether that quote is actually his.
That quote is misattributed. He never actually said it.
"A rushed game is forever bad.
A delayed game is still bad.
All games are bad, I hate video games, stop making them."

@@azure1470 Yes, that quote, as originally stated, came from someone else.
Nintendo has made plenty of bad rushed games under his oversight
Shigeru will be remembered as the walt of video games.
Id rather see him as Osamu Tezuka of the video game world. We all know what happened to the Disney company.
@@WhatIsMatter101which is? Disney is a billion dollar company with many successful franchises lol
@@kennypowers1945Disney went woke
Got to love a good ole Shigeru Miyamoto documentary.
I have heard this information many, many times from other UA-camrs but some how I don’t get tired of listening it and your narration was really entertaining too. I’m 49 yrs old I’ve been a super Mario fan since the first game. It blew my mind when I saw it for the first time, specially compared to my then Atari 2600. I have not stop playing Mario, Zelda, Metroid and many others Nintendo games since then. Great vid!!
What a legend! Very grateful to him for all the joy his games delivered to us!
Dude doesn't look a day over 50, I can't believe he's in his 70s
When Hayao Miyazaki and Miyamoto depart this earth, nothing, and i repeat, nothing will ever be the same :(
both are humanity treasures.
Goro Miyazaki's works not good enough? LOL
The rule that the word "I" is capitalized in English will still be the same.
@@TheGrammarPolice7 A lil' late to the party, aren't you? 🛌
To be frank I think the failure of Pikmin, sunshine, and windwaker and the GameCube as a whole can largely jet be attributed to the fact it was just getting so outclasses by the PS2. The quality of the games has nothing to do with it, that's why all of these games are considered bangers today. It's just that Nintendo couldn't deal with the insane success of the PS2
Thank you for that amazing video. There is probably no person that influenced my childhood more and this video was a perfect trip down nostalgia lane. I still have goosebumps
These developer videos are some of my favorites on the channel. Hope you guys keep making them!!
Miyamoto is the god of videogames and a true genius, thanks for making my life better with your fun and awesome games ❤
This man needs to live to 100. Miyamoto-san defined the childhood of millions. One of the most important people on earth in terms of entertainment.
Shigeru Myamoto is the heart and soul of Nintendo. It's amazing that how this man has been in every console generations for the past 40 years of his career. He went from making toys to making iconic video games in history. A creative and dedicated hard working man.
By inspiring people around the world he has contributed to improving it in every field
Thanks mr. Miyamoto
14:31 This is a great line, this man understood the people playing their games. I wish recent game companies apply this type of quote into the creating a game
This channel is a true inspiration. Thanks for all your work. Cheers!
When I was 7 years old, I wrote an “article” for the elementary school magazine about Shigeru, I didn’t really know a lot about him and wrote a bunch of lies (saying he owned Nintendo lol) but praising him and his games, I was a gamer kid and loved my N64. I can truly say his video games shaped my childhood and part of my personality. I cried just thinking about the moment we will miss him. Thanks for all the fun Mr Miyamoto
I'm shocked Nintendo hasn't made a Shigeru Miyamoto documentary
Would be a great way to honor his legacy!
I admire this man, this dude made mine and so many others childhoods. he will always be the best video game creator in my eyes :D
Awesome video !
I learned quite a few stuff about him.
Gotta say, Kyoto is not only one of the most beautiful towns in the world, it's also home to 3 of my favorite companies in the world, Fujifilm for photography, Kyoani for anime, and Nintendo for videogames.
What a lovely video. I really like the more dramatized narration. It really pulls me in more than the (also wonderful) straight fact videos.
Wow! What a great video. Love the choice in Bg music.
Surprised you didnt mention how he worked hand in hand with Tommy Tallarico on Metroid Prime.
😂😂😂
Loved this! Only wish it was longer. Would definitely love more of these sort of videos.
Love this. Thank you!

You did a Really good job ask the Narrator of this video
SO cruel that Gamecube era sold so low... It was easily in the top 3 best era of games. People just not wanted to be seen owning a "lunchbox"... Shame given how many amazing games this console had...
I know. The damage that Sega did in the 90's with their spectacular marketing, about Nintendo being "kiddy" and only for little kids, took a toll that it is still felt to this day.
I would know, since I was, and still am, an avid fan of Nintendo, and have dealt with the reputation of being a Nintendo fan, and a happy one, despite all the insults and shame that non-gamers, Sega gamers, and Playstation gamers, have given me. 😂
I loved my GameCube. Though I played mostly melee on it i was able to play a ton of awesome games like windwaker which still holds up
The last console my mom ever bought me was a GameCube and she asked me directly one day before the birthday she bought it for me for if I would rather have an Xbox or a GameCube. I said I wanted a GameCube and have since then bought for myself every Nintendo machine since and reobtained a Super Nintendo and a Nintendo 64 which I have managed to keep, alongside my Switch and 3DS, all three of which I still play. Now, I confess to being one of them who switched from NES to Sega Genesis, but I kept my NES and still played it and my dad bought a Super Nintendo, so I was able to play Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, and a small handful of others when I went over to his house, but by the time Nintendo 64 was about to launch, I wanted in on that and even got Mario 64 as a pack-in title, Ocarina of Time, and Pokemon Snap for the Christmas I got it and a fair few Nintendo 64 games I no longer have physical copies of for birthdays and Christmases for a few years until the end of that console's life cycle. GameCube was the transition console for me, most of the games I had for it were gifts for my birthday or Christmas, and also the GameCube Zelda Four Swords game which I never finished as part of a graduation present, but I took over buying games for myself after getting my first job rather than saving up what little money I got from allowance, my birthday, and Christmas and blowing it on a single game like I did as a child.
Dvd drive would have saved it
If you ask me, I think the only reason the PlayStation 2 sold so many units was not because of the games but because it was like a cheap DVD player so even those who don't play video games would get one
You have no idea how much this video saved me. I was doing an essay on Miyamoto and this helped so much
its always a joy to hear/talk about this guy.
A legacy that will probably never be matched.
Arguably, you really can't match it.
Without his creative genius, video games might never have recovered in the west from the crash of 83.
In some ways, he's the father of video games. No, he wasn't the first to make a video game, but without his initial massive successes, gaming wouldn't be where it is today.
AND now that it is as big as it is, no one can take Miyamoto's place. Sure, some will come along, and start up a new megahit franchise or genre (re)defining game, but it isn't likely that they'll be responsible for basically saving gaming as a whole, or setting the foundations for gaming as we know it. Hell, Miyamoto spawned 2 mega franchises in the 80's in two different genres: Mario and platforming, and Zelda for RPGs/adventure games (and in some ways open-world games in general?). And then created pikman nearly 20 years later, before deciding casuals and the elderly should join in with fitness games.
It's somewhat difficult to be a gamer and not have played a game he touched before the mid 2010's. With the advent of smartphones and shovelware, it's no longer as surprising, given how much crap is pushed on the app stores.
And now he's just "Fellow at Nintendo." He gets to work on theme parks and movies, ensuring they feel genuine.
He's the GOAT creative genius of gaming.
I never knew he got his foot in the door with Nintendo through his father's relationship with the president of the company but at least he didn't squander the opportunity and proved his worth by being consistent and true to himself. I also didn't know Gupei Yokoi had mentored him into the game making factory that he became. The funny thing as a kid was my mom would tell me I play video games too much and should go outside. Meanwhile, across the world, Miyamoto who's the same age as her was building wealth and prestige to a company that was revolutionizing the world and not just video games in real time. May he continue to thrive and poke his head back and forth into video games into ripe old age. 😇
miyamoto would have also said you played videogames too much lol, that part of your anecdote has no relevance to him actually working on games
Thank you for this video
Thanks for bringing us content after all these years 🖤
Incredible that one man can have such a defining influence on an entire type of media. He came into this world at just the right time and took his chance to change it for the better. Legend!
The story about donkeykong always baffles me. From a panic to an international flex crazy fast.
Limitations breed creativity. A lot of people I know would fold under the pressure AND having to work with self-imposed limitations of the hardware they needed to repurpose... but they buckled down and made it work. Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat will make anyone a legend in their field. He truly did the impossible.
If I ever had a chance to meet this man, I would love to tell him thank you for making my childhood so much better and more fun. Jim Henson and Miyamoto-San are both my idols.
Heart warming video. Thank you for taking me down memory lane and further appreciate the legend himself
"Heart warming video" means that the heart is warming the video. You need a hyphen there.
It ends as though Miyamoto has retired but he hasn’t
Yeah what was up with that lol
It’s because he stopped developing and creating ip/games and has more of a behind the scenes supervisor type role

DYKG forgot to tell the video editor and script writers that this is not a eulogy.
Depression, feeling lonely, sad, thanks to this guy I was able to pass through all this difficulties, thank you Nintendo, thank you Shigeru Miyamoto!

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
I'm glad you got through whatever it was you were handling.
Well done, as always. You've done a lot for digital archival.
6:27 OMG! All because a Popeye license didn't work out we got DONKEY KONG!
Such a small thing created such an amazing chain of events because of the two character designs we ended up getting in this game!
I love this!
A titan of the industry, he changed the way we interact, both with each other, but also with media. A legacy that will be remembered for a long time.
Not like anyone but me would really care, but it's cool to me to see Hyokkori Hyoutanjima get mentioned in some form.
Hyokkori Hyoutanjima is a really old Japanese puppet tv show from the 60s which was a musical comedy.
It is mainly about a school of kids who take a trip to an island called Hyoutanjima, however when they get there, a volcanic eruption occurs, causing the island to float on it's own endlessly, as the class are stuck there. To make matters worse, the class is totally oblivious to the fact that a bandit, named Machine Gun Dandy was there. all sorts of other characters like a pirate named Torahige, and the character mentioned in the video, Gabacho (yes that's his name), who is the mayor of the town.
The show was originally created in the 60s, but the original series is lost now due to the film being damaged.
Since the materials from the original still existed and were in good condition, in addition to the series being popular long ago, a remake was made in 1993.
Some of the first episode of the remake is available on UA-cam if you search hard enough.
Shigeru Miyamoto is the king of gaming. His games will forever be beloved no matter how many years pass they are true wonderful classics. Also he is a knight that's amazing he truly is a legend just like his game The Legend of Zelda. Cool video. ^_^
Nintendo when Miyamoto gets on a bike:
GET DOWN MIYAMOTO SAN
Why end with "so long"? He's not leaving lol
Made it sound like he passed away, hate hearing that haha
DYKG doesnt know how to finish a video docu on a person without making it sound like a eulogy.
As a Nintendo enthusiast and semi historian, it was fun learning new tidbits I did not knew. Thanks!!!
Miyamoto is one of my idles and main insperation for wanting to make games of my own,and if one day i make it big,I'll make shire to Thank him for the insperation,even if he's already dead at that point
@@breadandcircuses8127 why ?
This man single-handedly made so many people into gamers. His impact on the world will never be forgotten. Great video as always.
What I love about Miyamoto when I was watching the video is how he loves to take old ideas that he previously worked on, but didn’t see the light of day, and create something brand new and innovative out of it.
Game Developers should do this more. Take old, abandoned ideas, and make something new and interesting out of it.
I wanted to cry out of nostalgia and excitement watching this summary of his career, I am not exaggerating in saying that Miyamoto san molded my entire childhood, he and his games are the reason why I wanted to dedicate my life not just as a gamer but also as a game designer. I always dreamt of meeting him in person, and probably that will never happen, but I swear I will always honor him in spirit with the games I have the chance to be a part of. Thank you deeply for all the precious memories you built in our hearts and minds with your games and that you continue building with your unmatched legacy. 🥺🥺
I enjoyed that video.
You've earned a sub.
Kojima and Myamoto both deserve biopic movies
Kojima? No way.
Konami will make a fuss about the isolation and other unethical work practices they put Kojima through to force him out. Also theres those NDAs they gave out.
This man is a god not a legend. He's the reason we all can pick up a controller. He started it all. When he dies my heart is gonna break 💯💯. I owe this man everything
He almost solely responsible for the modern Nintendo brand we all love. The passion, creativity and execution skills one person has is just mind-blowing and inspirational.
Gracias señor miyamoto, desde la republica dominicana, gracias por tantos bellos momentos
You're welcome for finding footage of Shiggy riding a bike. Pretty proud of that one.
Not you begging for credit 🤣
this video is awesome and informative but man the ending is a little weird. definitely feels like the kind of thing that would be released after he died 😬
Maybe halfway through the video I started just drowning in thoughts, first about how this man gave us these experiences in our childhood, the joy of playing these retro consoles and handhelds and sharing good times with friends and family... To the grim reminder that Mr. Miyamoto is reaching an age and a fate that no one can escape sadly. Getting to the end, I felt so sad but as the well-known saying goes: All good things must come to an end... In the end I am glad he insisted on working for them. He was practically their savior.
Anyways, I hope he enjoys the rest of his life and lives as long as he hopes!
nice work James!
RIP Miyamoto, your legacy will live on 😢
He isn’t dead yet
Then why did they make the video like this?
@@vacuumblink2300 I don’t know but it’s not cool to make a video look like this as some people can’t be bothered to do the research. While Wikipedia isn’t that reliable if there is one thing they don’t lie about, it’s someone’s death date and he is still alive people so there
