Alright quick story time. I have (well, had) the AIM screen name "Shigeru Miyamoto". Not only did I get tons of unsolicited messages during the height of AIM, but some of those people were actual gaming news publications. There was one site (ran by a single person iirc) that interviewed me thinking I was the REAL Miyamoto, and I gave an interview pretty consistent with what I knew about Miyamoto at the time.
At the end of the interview, the person asked for some sort of new reveal, and at the time I said something like "the new Zelda game will be on the GameCube and Nintendo Revolution.", completely pulling that out of my ass.
But lo and behold, Twilight Princess ended up being released on both GameCube and Wii. And I like to think that, somehow, I helped make that happen.
Wish I could find that interview. I want to say that some relatively large site at the time (probably not IGN but something like it) wrote an article about the interview, too. I haven't found it, but I'm pretty sure it's still out there. That's not the only celebrity I impersonated for fun on AIM, either. Lol, good times.
