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.
