Hey there

My name is Almaci Hasan Ali and the picture used here is mine.
Its the most stolen, most abused and uncredited picture of Miyamoto in existence.
Originally he was holding a box of Belgian choclates I gave him during an interview in Kyoto long ago.

All too often(as I am doing now) I have to waste my time to point out to people that they have no right to use the picture for commercial gain(which is happening here) without my consent.

Everyone is free to use the picture as long as it is not for commercial purposes.
Kotaku is a commercial site so free use does not apply to them therefor I would like to ask to either take the pic down or post the original to go with it with full creditation to me.

I had to put my email in to post this so they have my details.

Maybe I should just email Brian about it.

Yeah, I guess it would be good to show kids how stupidly retarded the monetary system is.

Hmm, at first I thought this would be a waste, but if the younger generation learns how to 'have fun' while making and losing money, I think the future may be brighter than expected. Again that's a BIG IF.

Hopefully it WON'T be a new Oregon Trail, but a way to play with live stocks on the go, managing a fake ebay store or even making an account to see candy to the neighborhood kids and make $100 off a $20 bag of candy.

IF anybody can do it, Nintendo can. Stop criticizing and just think about it for a moment.

Is it bad that I clicked on this article solely to save the image of Miyamoto holding up money and use it on image boards?

I think I'll call it "GeeThanks.jpg".

Man, if ANYBODY can pull this off, it's that savant Miyamoto. I can't complain, if more people actually understand the basic fundamentals of the economy, we would all be much better off.

I am currently skipping my microeconomics class as I read this article.

Seems like I could use this game!

what happened to just reading a book? Can't we learn anything without goofy animations and whimsical sound effects?

if anyone can do it, its Nintendo. pretty much anyone who has said "this wont work" to Nintendo this generation has had to eat a big serving of humble pie.

If Animal Crossing can make a simplified version of the stock market fun, then I see no problem here.
