Yamauchi died this morning.

Of course it doesn't affect Nintendo directly as he was not doing anything hiself (Satoru Iwata being the ceo or some jazz) but i guess the company changing hands could lead to a different direction for Nintendo.

RIP

I knew he stepped down years ago, but I had no idea he had been in charge of the company for over 50 years!
