That's what you get for Wii Music.

Isn't that a blatant fix by the 4chan guys?

i think he is vastly overrated. I believe he is creatively bankrupt and his work has not interested me since the SNES. I am sure the rabid Nintendo Man Babies will disagree, but hey, who cares.

Yup, just administrative/management duties rather than actual creative roles that make games.

Wii Music?!!

Raspberries and a loud fart!

"Marble cake, also the game" could have been mentioned as well. Pretty nice doing by 4chan, even though the whole thing becomes a farce this way...

RE Anwar, those sodomy charges were more likely revenge from his old political rival the previous PM of Malaysia trying to stick shit on him. I thought that was all over by now.

4chan is only making a mockery of something that's already a farce, illustrated by the fact that an Indonesian ex prime minister is apparently second. To be perfectly honest, Moot being the most influential is probably not that far out, if considering this a poll of who is influential enough to get the most rabid internet user to fake vote the most, which it clearly is.

You can't beat the internetz.

Anyway, I wouldn't put Miyamoto high. Even last year's first place was excessive. I mean, I'm all for recognizing his amazing works, but if they wanted to do so, they should have done it in the 80s/90s. Nowaday he isn't really that involved anymore. Last year winner should've been Iwata, if you know what I mean. Wii and DS print money after all. If that isn't influential, I don't know what it is.

She's influential over people's nether regions (of both genders).

@Plewt - +1

I can't say I was impressed at all with Wii Fit - it would work just as well on the PS3 and Xbox 360 since it rarely uses the Wiimote and is just another add-on based game a la Guitar Heroes or Samba de Amigo - and Wii Music was beyond awful.

This is what happens when you sell your soul to the devil, folks. ;)

@ sigmagoat

Why do you read EG? I'm pretty sure they would disagree with you making them "rabid Nintendo Man Babies"

Just because Mario 64, Zelda OOT/MM and Pikmin don't interest you doesn't get rid of the fact that they are considered some of the best games ever made by many.

"How the hell is Jolie influential besides fucking Brad Pitt?"

You could easily ask "How the hell is Pitt influential besides fucking Angelina Jolie?"
Well done for being brilliantly sexist - I look forward to your post-divorce years being full of bitter women-hating followed by tearful breakdowns about not being able to see the kids (because they can't stand you).
