Subject: Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi is in another castle.

RIP, Yamauchi-san.

Thank you for half a century of service to Nintendo. Thank you for hiring Shigeru Miyamoto, whose legacy only began with Donkey Kong and Mario. Thank you, in other words, not only for the second half of my childhood's gaming, but for half of my adulthood's worth of gaming on top of that.

Thank you for the Nintendo Game and Watch, the NES, the GameBoy, the Super NES and the Game Boy Advance SP.  Everything else is meh.

I just bought some old school Nintendo 8-Bit cartridges in his honour tonight.  Actually, I was going to buy them anyway.  R.I.P. to a man who introduced the world to a game system that would revolutionize the video game world.  I still play NES and Game Boy Advance!

The first video game system I was ever introduced to was the original Nintendo (NES), and the first game Super Mario Bros. & Duck Hunt.

I/we owned over the years an NES, Super Nintendo (Super NES), (I think) Game Boy, Sega Genesis (on two occasions, pre-Sega Channel and Sega Channel-era), and Nintendo 64. Today, I still have my N64, but I guess my connections were wonky or it aged. It still turns on, but no video or sound.  :-\\

I leave you with...
