Iwata had a large part in that, from the Mother series (Earthbound), Kirby series, and Smash Bros.

Another major figure is Masahiro Sakurai, who was the creator of Kirby and Super Smash Bros.

Neat idea, reminds me of Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble.

Stacey is like Kirby without a web interface.

For the last several years, Rob Cockerham has made all of his posts structured around exposes of scams that happen to be high-value Adsense: Cash4Gold, Kirby vacuums, MLM, Viagra, etc.

Creators reaching their prime learnt from the miserable treatment Marvel and DC gave folks like Siegel & Shuster (Superman's creators) or Jack Kirby (co-creator of pretty much the entire fucking Marvel Universe), and became more canny about not signing all their rights away - Eastman and Laird (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) are a great example.

I was thinking of just letting it lapse, but after using staticsitegenerators.net myself, I found I wanted a list that was a bit more strict, in the sense of not including anything that's not a static site generator (flat file CMSs like Kirby or even hosting services like BitBalloon or Fjords).

The Stan Lee / Jack Kirby duo reminds me some of other "business savvy" and "creative genius" duos.

I have a really hard time believing anybody sees a Kirby as a status symbol, as "cool", as anything other than highly utilitarian.

That's a "recent" development though:) The original title back in the day were all written in assembly, you really have to squeeze out every single byte and cycle for something like Pokemon or Kirby.

Case in point-- a mid-rise multi use commercial/residential building was going up near Kirby Drive and the upper-middle class residents of the area fought it tooth and nail because it would lead to more "congestion" in the area.

For Kirby, on top of cheering everyone on as a producer, he ended up doing programming too.

Kirby's beautifully written accounting of his own internal struggles with identity, faith and authority is a delight to read for its prose.
