History in Nintendo

Shigeru Miyamoto was one of the first Nintendo employees to invent one of the most popular video games. He created Super Mario Bros. in 1985 which was praised for saving the video game industry for the video game crash of 1983. He moved on to the Donkey Kong series and later made the Mario series, which borrowed some of the characters from Donkey Kong and is considered one of the most successful and best video game series of all times. He's also the creator of the Zelda series, the Star Fox series, the Pikmin series and the F-Zero series. Shigeru Miyamoto's Mario series was, in the past, also considered a "rival" of the Sonic the Hedgehog series until Sega dropped out of the console market.
