I am compelled to start an online petition to have Shigeru Miyamoto knighted

Sir Shigeru Miyamoto, a bit long, eh?

French Honour? Is that anything like British Sex Appeal? =)

Actually, I'd have to brush up on my French law, but I think receiving an Order means he can be addressed as Sir Shigeru Miyamoto. So we won't have to wait for the British to decide he's worth it.

The English can bestow Knighthood and the French have this Ordre de Fleur de la blah blah. Us Americans have to come up with some cool award to bestow upon people. I mean come on people we've got 230 years of spectacular history here. We could call it the "Broken Treaty with Indians" award or how about the "What civil rights?" award or even the "sex in the oval office" award....
Wait maybe that why we don't give out cool awards.

It's understandable why he got this. While most other industry giants worked on the proven formula, Miyamoto often went out in search of creativity and how to exercise un-nurtured fun in games. It's a brave thing to do, and what's more amazing, he more often than not succeeds at it.

So... this attention is well deserved. Outside Nintendo circle, I have the feeling he's one of the most underlooked, underestimated and unheard artist of his generation, who has made a profound contribution in this territory.
