Renting out N64 with my friend and playing it as much as we could through 1 month. I'm still a fan of Nintendo, this year bought Wii U and having fun with it. RIP

> Don't you feel a little sad when you vaguely remember those days? I'm only 26 but my memories about those "golden days" are becoming harder and harder to find. Creating those kinds of moments for your kids is even better than experiencing them as a kid yourself (for me, anyway).
I hope so, I'm not in that stage of my life yet. Right now, I fear that having children will just completely kill my ability to do anything as a hobby. I'm not sure how justified that is, but it's how I feel.
Leave Luck To Heaven.
For those who don't get it, that's the loose way of translating the three characters[1] which make up the name "Nintendo" in Japanese, though you wouldn't necessarily know it by looking them up one by one[2]. [1] 任天堂 [2] http://tangorin.com/general/%E4%BB%BB%E5%A4%A9%E5%A0%82

「運」という意味がその３つのどの漢字にも入ってないよ。

I disagree. The quality control system of the major video game console manufacturers (not only Nintendo is doing this) is what keeps the amount of bugs and major game design flaws they contain at the release time in control (i.e. low) until today. It is the reason for that I still rather buy a just-released console title than a just-released PC game. Everybody who is watching the PC game industry will have come acros…
Actually, both Pac-Man and E.T. were developed and published by Atari itself. That's not to say that third-party garbage wasn't a major (and probably the primary) problem.

That's very interesting. I know nothing about him, but I'm very intrigued to hear more about his ruthless business practices.

So I don't think it would be disrespectful to highlight some of the things he's done. After all, it's a testament to what it took to build a company of the caliber of Nin…

But the design and specifications of these cartridges was protected by Nintendo, so the only way to distribute a game was to ask Nintendo for cartridges. Because Nintendo would only allow quality games on its shelves, it w…
RIP. Hiroshi Yamauchi was also the majority owner of the Seattle Mariners baseball club, and is responsible for keeping the team in Seattle in the late 90s when there was a very high chance of it being sold off to another city. He never attended a Mariners game, and didn't even like baseball, but purchased it as a way of saying "thank you" to Seattle for its support of Nintendo (Nintendo of America is headquartered i…
