Shigeru Miyamoto

Statement by Shigeru Miyamoto on being bestowed with the 2012 Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities:

"I am very honoured to have received the message that I was chosen to receive the Prince of Asturias Prize for Communication and Humanities.

Creating video games is very much a team effort, which is why I feel so humbled to be chosen for this honourable award. I would therefore like to receive the award on behalf of all of my friends and colleagues with whom I have been creating video games over the years.

I will continue my efforts so that video games will continuously be able to offer fun and joy to people of all generations all around the world."

Kioto, 23rd May 2012
