R.I.P. Hiroshi Yamauchi, Who Made Nintendo a Video Game Company
R.I.P. Hiroshi Yamauchi, Who Made Nintendo a Video Game Company
I never knew Nintendo was founded in 1889, and wasn’t even a video game company until Yamauchi came along.
A piece of our childhood is gone. May he find his place among the clouds in world 2.0.

About The Author
Luke Y. Thompson has been writing professionally about movies and pop-culture since 1999, and has also been an actor in some extremely cheap culty and horror movies you will probably never hear much about (he is nonetheless mostly proud of them, as he met his wife on one). As editor of The Robot's Voice since 2012, he can take the blame for the majority of the site's content, all of which he creates because he loves you very, very much. (Although he loves nachos more. Sorry.)
Prior to TRV, Luke wrote for publications that include the New Times LA, Los Angeles CityBeat, E! Online, OC Weekly, Geekweek, GeekChicDaily, The L.A. Times, The Village Voice, LA Weekly, and Nerdist
