Street Figher IV inspired by New Super Mario Bros.

“When we heard during development that Shigeru Miyamoto was making a new DS version of Super Mario Bros., we were really happy that our vision [for Street Fighter IV] and [Shigeru Miyamoto’s] vision were the same. [Lost Planet and Dead Rising producer] Keiji Inafune said to me, ‘If you’re doing the same thing as the giants of gaming, surely it’s bound to go well?’” – Street Fighter IV producer, Yoshinori Ono

Shigeru Miyamoto always seems to influence all types of members of the video game industry. I really suppose he earned that most influential TIME magazine award!
