Miyamoto refuses to sign PSP

DS News | But saves day by signing DS. Hurray!
A recent Shigeru Miyamoto signing session in New York City almost turned a bit nasty earlier this week, when some rascal approached the Nintendo legend and asked him to sign his PSP. Miyamoto apparently looked faintly bemused for a second (see the Media Panel), then politely declined to put pen to PSP.

Still, you've got to applaud the young chap who tried it for his nerve, and although his audacious bid to have his Sony handheld signed failed (imagine the eBay price), good ol' Shiggy still signed his DS for him. Bless.

That is like getting Marcus Ambrose or Craig Lowdnes to sign Holden related merchandise. Oh wait, Lowndes did sign Holden merchandise while being at Ford. Carry on then.

I reckon you have quite a good chance actually. I mean c'mon, the iPod and even the PSP can connect to the 360...

Question icon_question.gif

Has Miyamoto San ever been to Australia??

This isnt the first time i have thought about how awe-inspiring it would be to meet him face to face.(Secondary question.....does he speak english?I doubt it....ive seen an interview with him before and he spoke japanese...).

Some people have sports stars and what not as people they envy, or admire.I idolise and envy no-one but......Miyamoto has left a certain mark on my life and i respect him greatly for that.I'd love to let him know.Im sure that im just another face in the crowd but it would still be wicked cool.

Not to mention my Ocarina of time promotional poster would look KICK_ASS with his moniker on it!

Btw-stupid sony punk-should show 'the man' more respect than that.Its like asking superman to sign a big-ass chunk of kryptonite!

I heard that he been here for a Holiday & had a bad time. Is no wonder why we get & not Nintendo events here & also Game & stuff so late . icon_wink.gif

I believe that he does speck a bit of English, remembering he spoke quite well when he gave his Zelda speech at last year's E3.

That was all from memory. He just learnt it off by heart, then receited it.

And because of this it didn;t sound very well spoken at all. icon_razz.gif

I wonder if he recited his wacky antics at E3 2005. What a playa.

Miyamoto visited London two or three years back. I tried to queue to meet him, but we arrived too late and were denied access to the back of the queue. icon_sad.gif

(PALGN reported on his London visit also - only our 128th article icon_smile.gif)
