In the 1980′s video game industry revenue plunged 97 percent. But then Nintendo released the Nintendo Entertainment System and made $1.5 billion – 15 times the money the industry made just three years before in 1982.

I can do this literally all day. I realize Nintendo fell the fukk off but with the history rewriting.

Dude was tough as hell but he got the job done, even though he did fuk up 3rd party relations for Nintendo.

I do remember reading that he told Microsoft to suck his balls when they tried to buy them years ago.

I'm wrapping my head around so much video gaming piff we would've missed out on if it weren't for this man.....

NES
SNES
N64
etc...

even the Sony Playstation (fka: Nintendo Play Station), he was the one who threw the Sony/Nintendo contract in the bushes after hearing Sony had all the rights to the CDs made for the system and drove Ken Kutaragi to ask former Sony president Norio Ohga for the go ahead to make the Playstation their own.
