Shiggy (who, as every gamer worth their salt knows, created the Mario and Zelda franchises) and Ancel received the rank of Knight in the National Order of the Legion of Honour, an award that was originally created by Napoleon I in 1802 and that remains one of the highest honours of it's kind in France. For his part, Miyamoto was suitably flattered, declaring himself honoured to be recognised by a "country which is like the centre of art." He actually credited his collaborators after receiving the honour, but decided to accept the award because it would be an "honour for the entire electronic game industry."
