Shigeru Miyamoto Knighted in Paris

[megatroll]

THis may sound strange, but Myamoto is like a fatherly figure to me.

He single handedly saved video gaming in the 80s, revolutionized the industry and created the most magical worlds that defined our childhood. I feel honoured to witness him and it makes me happy to see him knighted. :)

[onilink422]

He is a knight! 

[Assassin7G3]

Shigeru Miyamoto was awarded the Chevalier class in the Ordre des Arts et des lettres (Order of the Arts and Letters) for contribution in the enrichment of french culture inheritance. although Chevalier is Knight. Due to miyamoto origin the title of Sir will not apply to him. However The honor itself is much more grand, If he keeps this up, He might get a promotion to the grade of Officier (Officer) and then to Commanduer (commander) the highest grade possible.

sigh.......the creator of Mario is knighted :( guess we'll be seeing more one eyes and pentagrams in Nintendo games

ご主人様！ * _ *

[Astos88]

The three of them deserve it. Due to my "budget" and knowledge about videogames at that time, I played the LBA series (Raynal) before any Zelda game, so it isn't a surprise that then I liked both franchises.

[Raymanama]

is he michel ancel??

[Nekoala]

Ancel appears in the very end of the video, to the left of the screen. Blonde haired man in a grey jacket.

[SuperCaterina]

Miyamoto is EPIC WIN made into person!

[LolitA00Strawberry]

Meu mestre! *__*

[MangaPlCTURE]

[JULIOMALUCAO]

My master! *__*

[Lovesgoats]

I guess the French like video games

[cheatdath]

Sir Shigeru Miyamoto...I shall bow to you

[swiv2d]

Ok he's a genius and deserves an award for sure but a MEDAL?! Ok there must be a serious number of Nintendo fanboys in France.

[ankevroon]

He is a GOD. The best man in the world.

[voidmaster45]

Sir Miyamoto

[Sabin06]

Are one of those Type of Americans who hate the French cause they didnt want to go join the Americans to go to war? is that why they call it Freedom Fries and not French Fries?

hi inferiority complex man

[Fredrik1ST]

He really deserves it ;)

[Roochfan20]

...pervert...

[bbkt]

i'm sorry. my account was hacked.

[Babylon3125]

Actually.. french knightings? ..not all that uncommon. He was inducted in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Making him a Chevalier. There's a limit stating that only 200 people may receive this order (at Chevalier rank) per year. Still pretty cool, mind you. It's really only a british knighthood (along with a commonwealth nationality) That would have made him Sir Shigeru Miyamoto, though.

[sylvur]

Wow, that's pretty cool for Miyamoto. And an honor to! Grats Miyamoto :D

[GAnafisMER]

My idol =)

[zachthezombie]

cool

[Polkastriipe]

wow didnt no this happened

[alexcastellanosleon]

one question...

why did they knighted him?

what was the reason?

they didn't just go out and say "let's make a knight out of that japanese video game creator"

[trevorchannel]

Im so Happy for Him I'll Call him sir Miyamoto when I see him at work LOL

[Kidorid]

He deserve it! By creating zelda he should be rewarded!

[dre9292]

holy (#$%# I didnt know the guy was a knight O_O

[dark77778]

I love sir Ancel and Miyamoto. They should team up as "The knights of new-gaming!"

[OzaiFan]

Yeah, it's Sir Shigeru Miyamoto now. What a life he must be having about now, huh?

[alexcastellanosleon]

is it Sir when it's a french knight?

shouldn't it be other title?

[OzaiFan]

I believe it's Sir, even when a French knight. I could be wrong, but how many people do you know of who've been knighted who recieved an official title other than Sir?

[alexcastellanosleon]

how about... monsieur?

and besides that's when the british knight them, not the french

[OzaiFan]

I don't think so. But then again, I could probably count on one hand the number of people the French have knighted since real knights went out of style, so it could very well be Monsieur. I just don't know, know that I've been called out on it.

[KNAAC]

I love Sir Shigeru Miyamoto! :D

[mykimochi]

Funny how they manage to knight somebody who's not french with the absense of a monarch...

[MAsterKakashi6]

i was waiting for the razor sharp sword to tap his shoulders D:

[pikminister]

Aw, STFU and let Miyamoto enjoy his knighthood.

Besides, is more stupid to even consider Kings and Queens as having any real relevance these days, much less knights. They're mostly turist attractions, like going to Disneyland and meeting Mickey Mouse or any other guy in a suit.

Hurray 4 Miyamoto!

[trumpetuk111]

The French can't 'knight' anybody. France is a republic. You need a king or queen to 'knight' someone. Sheeeez.

[gdot5]

not only that but france never even needed knights, they just surrender right away and go eat frog legs :D:D:D

[OzaiFan]

France used to be a monarchy. Technically, they still can.

[SectorCodec]

@OzaiFan How is it that do you have BOTH of the highest rated comments???

[OzaiFan]

@SectorCodec I have no idea. Demented luck?

[Astrocreeper07Alt]

So a 3 minute video that doesn't even include the knighting.

Sweet.

[LIQAMAN32]

So it's Sir Miyamoto now......

Metal.

[elreydelmetalobscuro]

[wolborg105]
