| book description |

Video games are considered by many to be just entertainmentâ€”essentially void of skillful, artistic intervention. But as any gamer knows, thereâ€™s incredible technical and graphic talent behind even a flickering Gameboy screen. You may have never heard Shigeru Miyamotoâ€™s name, but youâ€™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 Kongâ€”games so ubiquitous that Miyamoto was named one of TIMEâ€™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.
