Will Wright Profiles Miyamoto for TIME Asia Heroes

"Miyamoto's body of work is remarkable because he has always remained focused on what actually matters in a game: the player's experience," said Wright. "Other designers may obsess about testing the limits of the hardware; Miyamoto specializes in testing the limits of imagination. His insistence upon simplicity and his appeal to our inner child recognize that play is an important part of being human. It's how we learn. By understanding the nature of play—the activities that we all enjoyed as children but are later taught to eschew as adults—Miyamoto is able to create engrossing games that rekindle very old and yet very satisfying learning experiences in a fresh way."
