Uglyface2 01/27/12 5:47:00 PM #20:	I think a large part of the decision is where we're carving the faces. If it's in the East, then Miyamoto, Yu Suzuki, Yuji Horii, and Akira Nis*ani. In the west, you guys can argue it out because I don't play PC games and that makes my opinion moot. <cite>Uglyface2 posted [p:717068] in Who is on ...
