Since Nintendo clearly invented the concept of stylized figures representing people in online spaces he has the right to be upset.

Your razor sharp commentary will ruin us all!

 

[Zoramon089]

How the hell does he do this?

Weighted shoes, there's a picture of the patent somewhere. Ahh this brings back memories of me and my friend arguing for HOURS on how it was done

He is Michael Jackson.

Probably best to get this photoshop out of the way....

"Hey guys, lets beat up the foreign kid!"
"Yeah lets do it"

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

The position of Miyamoto's arms and legs reminds me of one of the IGN editors (Matt?) in the "2004 Nintendo press conference excited picture".

 

[Count Dookkake]

It's like he went to a party and saw his girl there with another guy.

 

[rollingstart]

:lol that is awesome.

Weighted shoes? If by weighted shoes you mean, shoes that hook onto the floor of the stage through locking mechanisms in the heels, then yes.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

WTF? :lol

 

[Bren McGuire]

All according to keikaku.

edit:

That's staged, RIGHT?

Err yeah, that's what I meant. Haven't seen the pics in a long time but I know there was some mechanism in the back part

:lol :lol :lol
WTF, all the police had to do was stop moving and he'd have crashed into them...wtf...

 

[Rorschach]

Hero.

[-Rogue5-]

It looks like he's thinking, 'I need a translator, because this can't be what I think it is...'

 

[polyh3dron]

Someone needs to do something with this involving the four E3 guys making their reactions pics from a while back.

 

[Darklord]

He thinks he created this? Miis are just a concept from years ago, over dozens of different things. He borrowed the idea too.

But his expression in those pictures is awesome.:lol

 

[RBH]

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Now this is why I love GAF.

 

[Sleeker]

It'd be funny seeing him with that expression in his wedding photos

 

[Count Dookkake]

A concept that was used and then rejected by the public years ago is not the same as a concept that has been embraced by the public and is currently unique to the industry's Goliath.

Also would be intereted in seeing how these alleged proto-Miis were featured in a number of games, could be traded with friends, etc.

Dude the man had a whole presentation about how Nintendo had them and no one but Miyamoto was interested in using them for anything.

Know your Miyamoto, son

 

[lordg]

lol, that's hilarious man.

Are they really showing him the avatars?

The Sims would be the biggest. Creating a virtual you. The idea has been on tons of things though from IM chat programs to various sites.
Just because Mii's can be in a (very)few games and traded only means they have enhanced it, not created it. Just like Microsoft.

Probably not, but it's funnier to think he is.

Yeah that took me by surprise how he had Mii's planned since, was it the NES or SNES? One of those but he even had pictures of it. Don't underestimate the creativity of Miyamoto

He seriously developed the idea way back in the 16 bit era

I believe it's the similarity in the artstyle that's the problem here (i.e. they look just like Miis). If they looked like 2nd life avatars or Sims, those fanbases would also take issue with the rip-off.

 

[Yoboman]

Horrible photoshops all round

Since when do they look like Miis and dont you make your own avatar in 2nd life?

it was all real..all live

Needs knuckle dusters and rings.

[Count Dookkake]

Needs knuckle dusters and red rings.

At least Bill has a smile on his face!

Every event I see that guy at he is having a great time. Love it, haha.

If you mean from the NES, yes. They had it at the NES aswell.

*Police Stupidity Car Chase*

All these 'shops about Miyamoto is all fine and dandy...

... But it baffles me to think that a real live car chase might have actually happened like this.

for some reasons, it does not feel like a real famicom program.. This is very odd. The resolution seems weird; even too high for a nes/fami title. But then again, the ratios and compressions are probably fucking things up.

Even the sound effects dont feel like its coming from your typical nes hardware

 

[MrTroubleMaker]
