I didn't grow up on Nintendo, so I have no idea who this is.

R.I.P anyway

so much this. The wii u might not be dominating the market right now but no one can deny the impact Yamauchi and Nintendo has left on the video game industry. RIP

This man has said some really outrageous things and doesn't have any interest in video games outside of business. However, I have to admit that transforming a struggling small business to an industry giant is no small feat.
