Message: [QUOTE="X y b e r - S k u ll, post: 557324, member: 235510"] Great write up, Tsuki. Yokoi genuinely was a legend who definitely deserves more than what he got. Perhaps it’s because he wasn’t as prevalent in the software side of things (as we all know; most people know Nintendo as a video game company first and foremost, many still have no idea about their history as toy makers) he doesn’t get his dues, but even on that front, with a little research, you start to realise he was behind almost every single one of their major franchises that would end up paving the way for their video game empire. Always in a producers role, yes, but he was with Miyamoto when the original Donkey Kong was being developed (Miyamoto has also credited Yokoi as being a massive influence on him in terms of his philosophy on designing games) as well as influencing Iwata, as you mentioned in your write up, who went on to become (arguably) the best company president Nintendo ever had. RIP Gunpei Yokoi [/QUOTE]
