I haven't seen a thread on this, so I might as well create this, (but if they was, then close this)

It is pretty much sad to hear about this news, that former Nintendo's President Hiroshi Yamauchi has past away on September 19th, 2013. It's sad to see him go, he was the man that pretty much brought video games to where they are today, and the legend behind all sorts of classic Nintendo characters like Mario, DK, Zelda, and just name a few
He's the guy that brought in the Super Mario Bros. into the gaming world (and numerous other titles).

Rest in peace Hiroshi Yamauchi, you sir, you are a legend, You shall be missed by many.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Hold your horses...

WHAT?!

Hiroshi Yamauchi is... gone? How? What were the circumstances? He was one of my favorite role models.

Rest in peace, Mr. Yamauchi.

goodboy : From an article I came across he died at the age of 85 yesterday from pneumonia..its very sad.

I like think anyone who grew up loving Nintendo saw Yamauchi as a role model. He was a very stern man with specific likes and an eye for good quality things. He was very smart business man that helped change everything for the world of gaming. He will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace, Hiroshi Yamauchi. You've more than earned it.

zerothesaint : Yeah, he pretty much saved Video Games after the big crash in 1983, if it wasn't for him, the PS3, the 360, the Wii, all of that wouldn't exist, in fact, Vizzed wouldn't even exist. so yeah, he saved the video gaming industry.

IgorBird122 : That he did. Its amazing how he turned a card making company into a video game one. He was definitely  a man who took a really huge risk and came out successful. Plus, when the games were being made he was very very picky about which ones would go through and which ones wouldn't. I know he made a hiccup with the Virtual Boy, or so sales indicate, but made up for that with the N64. 

Also I would like to thank you for making this thread. I was going to make this way earlier today but life is life. You reminded about the whole thing. The way I see it, this is an important thread.

I've heard this a hour after he passed away. He was a legend. Who could replace this amazing person!??

He was a hero, a great one. You will always be missed. Rest in Peace Hiroshi Yamauchi.. .

Video games would be nothing right now if he didn't exist.

I am very sorry to hear this. He was a legend, which would not only make amazing games for his own company but had shaped over companies. For instance the creation of Mario bros was a hit and sega then made sonic the hedgehog. Zelda was made, that influenced other companies.
There are many spin-offs but the originals are the best!
