Im not even talking about those other guys...just yelling at a lil kid who hates nintendo and why he shouldn't...why did you even have to butt in?
My god you make me laugh even more. Where is your damn credit for Nolan Bushnell, Ralph Bear, & Gunpei Yokoi?Originally Posted by lockethevaliant
I mean god if your going to kiss nintendo's ass. Atleast thank the right people. Hell with out Gunpei Yokoi, nintendo would not be where they are now. I mean god he is even the father of the Gameboy series let alone the famicom, game & watch series, & all of nintendo's early adventures into video games. Lets not forgoet he is responcible for Metroid, Kid Ikarus and couple of other nintendo series we are so fond of.
Where is your credit for nolan bushnell who is pretty much the father of the video game industry and atari?
Where is your credit for Ralph bear who is the father of home consoles?
Where is your credit to sony for actualy expanding the video game market? I mean god are you dumb enough to belive that if we had no sony the market would still be as big of an industry as it is now? If you do, you really need to brush up on your history.
Talk about not giving credit where credit is due.

I'm 22, a GBA game developer with 3 years of industry experience, The author of psp port of neopop (ngpsp), have probably owned more nintendo systems then you (nes, snes, n64, NR-Gamecube, virtual boy, gb brick, gbc, gba, gbasp, ds & probably a micro if i become impulsive enough to buy it) & happens to know that your facts on gunpei are rather off. He actualy had left nintendo after the virtual boy was considered a failure (not after making it) and founded a new company who went on to develope the wonderswan for bandai. He died in an accident long after leaving nintendo.Originally Posted by lockethevaliant
You're the one who is a little kid, that or an adult with a superiority complex.
--edit--
Here you go. Actualy forgot to add in about making the gb pocket after the Vboy. He died little over a year after leaving nintendo.
Did you know they dedicated the first wonderswan game in his honour called gunpei?

Gunpei hands in his resignation
The 15th August 1996, only weeks after the lauch of the Game Boy Pocket, Gunpei handed in his resignation. He said that it did´nt had anything to do with the failure with the Virtual Boy, he just wanted to start his own company named Koto Laboratory. Even after his resignation he continued to corporate with Nintendo and Nintendo that was going to release some of his corporation's new products. Koto Laboratory began producing different LCD keychain games and other such items. During his time at Nintendo (around 30 years!), although of all the success of his products, the success new turned to his head and he always talked about Nintendo rather than taking all the honor himself. He died in a tragicall car accident in October 4:th in 1997, 57 years old.
hey, im the only adult with a superiority complex around here.
