For many of us, today is a sad day in gaming, as the man who brought Nintendo into a new era from trading cards to trading cartridges, is now gone.

:(

Just blow on him, he'll be fine.

That is fantastic!!

I don't know whether or not to slap TinyE in the back of the head or give him a rancid cookie.

Lmao! Omg, that is freakin' awesome. You have my 1, sir.

I'm sorry, this is supposed to be a sad occasion.

Both! :3c My gloved hand awaits your cheek. :3

*Slaps tinyE, then +1s him*

I think we are about to see something as rare as a UFO sighting, a high rated TinyE post.

Another +1 for you.

Its a sad sad day, *sighs*. Thanks Darvond.

Now tinyE, where do i begin? Seriously made me laugh but also *mutters*.
...its one of those really funny moments at a funeral where you know you shouldn't laugh but cant stop yourself as its really disrespectful...
+1 to Darvond, and +1 to tinyE for making me laugh even when i shouldnt! nicely worded!

Mr Yamauchi ran the company from 1949 until 2002.



Wow... My abacus says that's 53 years ! I never realized he was president for so long...

He was still the biggest shareholder after retiring also, so he still had influence over the company after that.

That's longer than your fav Prez Ceausescu was in for isn't it Licurg?

More than double :P


EDIT: And no, he wasn't my "fav" anything.

T'was a joke

Controversial but fantastic man. He took video games seriously as a business and at the same time fostered a creatively open atmosphere.

Leave luck to heaven, you brilliant bastard.
