I did see anyone posting this yet and I decided to put this in the Hardware section since this is the man responsible for bringing us some of nintendo's classic consoles.  Love him or Hate him he did give us some great memories.  Any last words to pay Him respect please post.

I was just about to post this in the café. He is indeed the reason that Nintendo became what it is.


"So if Zero Suit Samus is fanbait for guys, where is the fanbait for girls? Why isn’t Captain Falcon wearing a thong or sporting a chest twice the size of his last model? Why doesn’t Mario have an absurd crotch buldge holding in his 10 inch slice of manhood? Why doesn’t Yoshi look like a Fist of the North Starcharacter.

The man is the reason we are all on this site, why people across the world can and do play games on whatever console. He really deserves a huge amount of credit and respect.

 

RIP.


Bring the noise.

He is the reason Nintendo is what it is now, for better and for worse. May he rest in piece.

I was honestly starting to think he may have been immortal...

Thanks for the insightful post about his tenure at Nintendo you did some weeks ago.  It opened my eyes and really answered some questions about why certain developers have such ire for Nintendo.
