Like I said "Nintendoo made games", or "Nintendo game system", etc. Wait who is exactly is Nintendo? Is it someone or Hiroshi Yamauchi? Oh, if you said no one is Nintendo, then why everybody said this? Hello there, I was mistaken about asking a question so instead I'll leave it abandon since it would not delete. Augh, Googling this will take a while, this is why I decide to do this?

My friend told me a couple of days ago. Is it true? I mean, think about it. Probably no more Zelda games. Maybe even no more Nintendo. He was a great man, an inspiration. I always admired how well he crafted the images and animations into games, it was just so clever and inspiring. That's why Shingeru will always be in my heart as my hero. :)

System has died. RIP Hiroshi Yamauchi, My favorites as a kid was Mario & Donkey Kong. Nintendo's Hiroshi Yamauchi, father of console gaming, dead at 85 Nintendo fans, switch off your games and observe a moment of silence for Hiroshi Yamauchi, who died Thursday of pneumonia at a hospital in central Japan. Yamauchi, who was 85, served as president of Nintendo from 1949 to 2002. He continued to serve as an adviser after his departure from the company, and was one of the richest men in Japan. Under Yamauchi’s stewardship, Nintendo hired Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and launched the Famicom, the video game console that jumpstarted the North American game market when it arrived in the U.S. as the Nintendo Entertainment System. Video games wouldn’t exist as we know them today without the NES, and the NES wouldn’t exist without Yamauchi. He led Nintendo into the growing American arcade market with Donkey Kong in 1981, then made Nintendo a U.S. household name by releasing the NES in 1985. The NES was a smash hit that single-handedly revitalized the games business after the video game market crashed—hard—in 1983. Today the video game business is booming, and Yamauchi is credited for making a number of key decisions that helped the game industry—and Nintendo—prosper. Under his leadership, Nintendo created some of the most beloved and long-running game franchises in the world, including Mario, Metroid, and the Legend of Zelda. http://www.techhive.com/article/2049031/nintendos-hiroshi-yamauchi-father-of-console-gaming-dead-at-85.html

i just heard they are over 120 years old what did they do in like 1880s? first video game wasn't till the 1940s so what were they doing back then? so wiki says they tried out love hotels.. how weird is that

Hiroshi Yamauchi's wikipedia article says he is the #3 richest man in Japan. He is the former president of Nintendo. I am wondering who the two people above him are.
