Shiggy to be honored at ESA's 'Nite to Unite for Kids'

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto will be honored during the Entertainment Software Association's 2008 "Nite to Unite for Kids" charity event. The event will be held October 22 at the Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco. The "black-tie optional" (translation: wear one!) dinner will only set you back $500, affording you the opporunity to hang out with Shiggy and executives like EA's John Riccitiello and THQ's Brian Farrell.

The event is being hosted by the ESA Foundation, the charity arm of the lobbying group, which has raised over $11 million for children's charities since 1999. The organization recently raised $2.6 million through its unremarkable game bundle.
