Requiescat In Pacem, Mr. Yamauchi. Thank you for a very important part of my childhood.
Thank you for steering your company towards the toy market. Thank yo for saving the video game market after it crashed and burnt in America. Thank you for the NES, SNES, Gameboy, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo DS. Thank you for Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, Kirby, Kid Icarus, Wario Land, Fire Emblem, Mother, Golden Sun, Advance Wars, F-Zero, Star Fox... and other less known Nintendo games like Star Tropics, Ice Climbers, Mole Mania, Kaeru no Tame ni Naru, Shin Onigashima, Clu Clu Land, Joy Mech Fight, Wave Race... Thank for other sagas and games were born and thrived in Nintendo consoles like Mega Man, Castlevania, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Super Robot Wars, Battle Toads, Crystalis, Blaster Master, Shantae, Terranigma, Seiken Densetsu, Final Fight, Contra, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, Killer Instinct, Banjo-Kazooie...
You have made happy millions of kids all over the world since the eighties, and I hope that has earned you a place in Heaven.
Thank you.
P. D.: Likewise, Sega became so good because your company's success forced them to improve themselves. And Sonic was born because Mario. Thus, like a Sega fanboy, you also have my gratitude.
