Shigeru Miyamoto Cranks Up The Creepy Factor
March 25, 2009
Nintendo's Satoru Iwata had a lot to say during his keynote address at the Game Developers Conference, and like any modern speech, this presentation came bundled with a slideshow. Part of the presentation described producer Shigeru Miyamoto's habit of abducting random Nintendo employees to assist with development of new game ideas in that Miyamoto watches the hapless employee stumble through a new game without any assistance, and this unfortunate image (via Kotaku, natch) was displayed as part of the slideshow. Is it just me, or is this slide increasingly creepy the more one looks at it? Over the Shoulder, indeed. The confidently slick smile on his face isn't helping matters either. Go now, Internet. Go now and create the many Photoshopped images and goofy captions that will rocket this image into hilarious infamy right up there with the giant enemy crabs.
