This is Miyamoto. And it's Nintendo's world.
ORLANDO —
Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to share what he calls 'a little bit of a strange story' as he sat in a lavish and hushed lounge tucked in the middle of Universal Orlando, where the third Super Nintendo World theme park opened Thursday.
Now 72, the most influential creator in the video games art form has come a long way from his youth as an industrial design student at the Kanazawa College of Art, a tiny public school. He was a lifetime and a world away in Florida to open another theme park he helped design, but for a moment, his memory traveled back to his college days to rediscover the first time he built a world to enter and play.
