I found this one to be interesting. This guy is a genius when it comes to video game characters, stories and ideas. Just continue reading and look at his track record.

Mario creator gagged by Nintendo brass
What the legendary game maker does in his spare time is their business.
By Ben Silverman
When he isn’t designing groundbreaking video games, Shigeru Miyamoto partakes in a variety of interesting hobbies. And Nintendo doesn’t want you to know what they are.
Citing anonymous Nintendo sources, the Times Online reports that the man responsible for smash franchises like Mario and Zelda has been banned by Nintendo from chatting about his non-game interests, apparently because they “could be worth billions.”
If history serves, they’re probably right — Miyamoto has a lengthy track record of converting his hobbies into lucrative games. Plant-based strategy game Pikmin, for instance, was born out of his love for gardening. After his family got a dog, the rest of the world adopted Nintendogs. Most recently, he revealed that exercise game Wii Fit was a direct result of the master designer obsessively weighing himself after turning 50.
Both Nintendo and Miyamoto have, unsurprisingly, remained silent on the matter.
Wow – I can see their reasoning, but jeez.
I know! At least her doesn’t like to play with himself. Because I’m sure they’ve considered making an adult only Wii game like that…
