Old Mar 9th, 2006, 06:29 PM        Creator of Mario and Zelda to be knighted. ABOUT DAMN TIME!
Top videogame creators Shigeru Miyamoto, Michel Ancel and Frederick Raynal are to be awarded with knighthoods in the Order of Arts and Letters in Paris next Monday, becoming the first game creators ever to receive this honour in France.

Miyamoto is the creator of many of Nintendo's world famous franchises, including Mario and Zelda, while Ancel is the designer behind Rayman, Beyond Good and Evil and last Christmas' hit title King Kong, and Raynal is best-known as the creator of Alone In The Dark.

Up to 200 people are knighted in the Order of Arts and Letters every year, but this is the first time that creators of videogames have been included in the list. The awards will be presented to the three by French Minister of Culture Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres next Monday.

Unlike British knighthoods, the French knighthoods do not allow the holder to add "Sir" in front of their names. No game creator has ever been knighted in the UK, although both Argonaut founder Jez San and Lionhead and Bullfrog founder Peter Molyneux have been awarded with OBEs.

Because England has dignity.

I'm time of need, I'd sooner trust Ian McKellan and Elton John than Mario's dad.

How did you even add an apostrophe when accidentally typing an M instead of an N?

I had one thought that changed into another, only to make no sense. :/

Maybe France should knight me next!
