NES Games by Shigeru Miyamoto
I know that Miyamoto-san is responsible for the Donkey Kong series, the Super Mario Bros. series (at least 1 and 3), and the Zelda series for the NES. Are there any others? One site I looked at said he worked on the Yoshi series, but didn't specify which system. If anyone has a list to post here I would appreciate it. Unless I made the list already.
EDIT:Please include ports, as JibbaJabba has done.
Thanks!

As far as I know, He did the three Donkey Kongs, The four SMB titles, Mario Bros. was a port of his arcade game, and both Zeldas. I don;t believe that he did the Yoshi's on the NES, but he did do Yoshi's Island for SNES. Anyone else know differently?

He may have been involved with the conversion of Doki Doki Panic to SMB 2 USA, I'm not sure.
There's also Popeye. Miyamoto worked on the original arcade game. I'm not sure about the NES port though.
If we're including Famicom disk games he was also credited on the Famicom Mukashi Banashi series as Supervisor on the first game and Producer on the second.

He didn't do the NES Yoshi games.
Myamoto didn't work on the arcade Popeye. He started a Popeye game, but it was canned when Nintendo lost the rights. That game turned into Donkey Kong.
In the giant DUH! department, I am currently reading Power Up by Chris Kohler (who is a member here apparently). Not looking at the contents page, I got to the chapter on Miyamoto the day after I posted the thread. here's what the book says on this subject:
-Donkey Kong 3 and Doki Doki Panic are not mentioned.
-There is a quote from SM where he states that SMB2 (J) only has about 10 % of input from him, most of the work was done by Takashi Tezuka.
-Zelda 2 is only represented by a picture, calling it the "black sheep of the series." That's IT? C'mon Chris, show the love.
-Kohler gives some of Miyamoto's other games in passing: Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, Excitebike (?!), and Devil World.
So, thanks to Chris Kohler, that's all I got. Great book so far. Actually, any book about videogames is great, isn't it?

Maybe I'm wrong on Popeye. I knew about the original cancelled project but I thought he still worked on the game that came out. I can't find any proof though.
Doki Doki Panic is a Miyamoto game. His name(Miyahon as he sometimes went by back then) is listed as producer.

I'm pretty sure that Ice Hockey is one of his games.
He was involved in the production of Kirby's Adventure.
DK 3 was not mentioned because as far as I know DK3 was originally a totally different game and Nintendo plugged Donkey Kong at the last min.
if you can read this congratulations!! you can read
You can basically count on anything from Miyamoto being great! I don't know all his NES games off hand, but know most for SNES, N64, and GC. But that's something else.
He worked on Yoshi's Story on the N64. thats the worst game he made
Maybe the worst GOOD game he made.Originally Posted by Jumpman Jr.
Did he make "Mario's Time Machine" or "Mario is Missing"?
Huh.
No wonder it's awesome.

Hmph.
Those weren't even published by Nintendo, so I'm sure he had nothing to do with them.

Good cause those games sucked big time. Yoshi's Story is up there, though.

I though Mario's Time machine was a fun game, in it's own way...
I still to this day have never played that game.
