Game designer Shigeru Miyamoto has set the gold standard for gaming. If you play a fair amount of home video games, one thing you'll notice is that they all have a certain general form. Just like movies all have a repeated basic structure that has been crafted over the last 80 years, video games also have a conventional mold that parallels audience expectation. And the guy who really defined that structure—the D.W. Griffith; the Orsen Wells of video games, so to speak—was Shigeru Miyamoto.
