What game do you guys think she was playing?

>>5990472
No, it was a random tragedy just like a lot other random things that happens in this random universe.

Leaves Nintendo ashamed and destroyed by the Virtual Boy, but goes on to make the WonderSwan. His 75FPS reboot of the game boy, for Bandai, a company that was making game systems years before Nintendo even started.

It was Yakuza.

>>5990472
Man, I haven't encountered this conspiracy theory since... well, since the year he died. I believed it then, but not so much now. Yamauchi was vindictive, but not that vindictive.

Depends, is manslaughter murder? I'd say yeah, manslaughter is a form of murder.
No conspiracy though.

He died on my birthday. It was pretty depressing. Graham Chapman also died on my birthday a few years earlier.

Wasn't he hit by not JUST one care BUT two? Jamie pull up that Did You Know Gaming about Hiroshi Yamauchi and how he was comprised of six oni souls.

>>5990472
No, now shut your fucking mouth.

>>5990538
Why are some of the neg prints censored? This shit is even more suspicious.

did you know Hiroshi Yamauchi wasn't actually a human being? He was a vessel that enclosed 7 yakuza oni spirits from 7 different regions in Japan. These oni monopolized the gambling in Japan with the hanafuda Nintendo cards and put a spell so that no other company could produce cards, truly evil.

Yamauchi, often referred to as "大魔王 ティラノ天堂" (Great Evil King Tyranotendo), tyranized the video games market with his monopolic practises, it is said that the Master System or the PC Engine didn't actually ever exist, and that they were invented time after so hide the fact that the Famicom was actually the one and only console existing in Japan.

Why are female politicians often way more violent and mercenary than male politicians?
Imagine a female dictator...

It doesn't seem like President Warren will be very violent.

He literally broke generations of tradition by refusing his son-in-law the position of Head of Nintendo completely out of spite.

>>5990472
He was, because of his failure of the Virtual Boy

I just can't buy into it because as I see it Nintendo had already thrown in the towel with him thanks to the Virtual Boy. If he goes to Bandai to work on the Wonderswan it's not like they lost a jewel in their crown, he had already been used up by that point.

>>5991434
If there's any bullshit conspiracy that people have eaten up, it's the "Yokoi was fired because of Virtual Boy" one.

Yokoi postponed his retirement to help develop the VB because the N64 wouldn't be ready for another year. When he left, he EXPLICITLY told them that the Virtual Boy was barely out of alpha and that they needed to work on it more to provide a quality project. Yamauchi proposefullu let Yokoi take the heat for VB so that Bandai would change their minds on hiring him.

He died. World's lamest conspiracy theory since he had no known actual enemies.

>>5990656
His car was hit by one vehicle, a second sideswiped him when he'd gotten out.

>>5991406
Yeah, that's kinda how they work.

>>5991398
...Damn, that is a good point. Still, being a cold bastard doesn't mean he was a murderous one, I would hope.

>>5991426
those eyes holy crap

>>5992287
If anything, what >>5992045 said is probably the truth. Yamauchi was a mean old fuck, but he ruined people professionally, not physically.

>>5991018
>>5991426
>>5992292

>>5991398
Why exactly did he hate Minoru Arakawa so much again?

>>5992331
Simply put, he was no Yamauchi. Iwata was basically suppose to be an insult pick. "Yeah, I know you've been in charge of NOA since 1980, but Iwata actually grew the company's profits in only two years, so you can fuck off."

Yamauchi ordered the hit, but it wasn't suppose to kill him.

you should look at her voting record more closely. she has done nothing but support the military industrial complex.

I'm as big of a conspiracy nut as anyone, but even I know the only conspiracy here is that we still let asians get behind the wheel.

>>5990472
Yes.

>>5991260
>PC Engine
He actually gave Hudson Soft his blessing. They asked for his permission.

>yakuza oni spirit
He pit the console and handheld divisions against each other and they would bully each other quite viciously.
Like the console division would call the DMG (Game Boy project) the DAME GAME (no-good game) and tried (and succeeded) to get it cancelled, then the handheld division would exploit the SNES delay to make the console division look bad and get their project greenlit again, then withheld support for it as much as possible.
Yamauchi knew and laughed as he was watching the bloodshed from afar.
This isn't too far off the truth.

The Great Nippon Dev HD Purge was his parting gift to the gaming industry.

>>5990472
Obviously yes. Bandai knew but they couldn't stop the hit.

>>5993197
Source for all these things? the "dame game" thing is hilarious.

>The Great Nippon Dev HD Purge was his parting gift to the gaming industry.

You mean when Japanese games slowed down considerably during 7th gen? That would be easily attributed to the PS3 using an ass backwards architecture and Japanese developers releasing games for Sony consoles almost exclusively; their main breadwinner was hard to develop for and they faced a dilemma.

>>5992365
What did Iwata do before he took over Nintendo? I know he was a programmer for HAL or Intelligent Systems, but I don't think he ever did any managerial things. I remember him saying that he inherited "a big mess" when he was left with the GameCube.

Virgin Bill Gate vs Chad Hiroshi Yamauchi

>>5994261
Bill Gates has the distinction of being one of the few businessmen Yamauchi respected and revered.

>>5994286
Also Yamauchi know MS never been nothing. A based understanding of gaming industry.

>>5990472
Was he friend of Epstein?

>>5994260
Essentially he pulled HAL out of bankruptcy for reasons I don't remember, which was essentially a test by Yamauchi to see if Iwata had what it took to run a business.

>>5994260
He was the president of HAL before he ran Nintendo proper.

>>5994260
He was the founder and president of HAL Laboratory and one of their top programmers. He famously rescued EarthBound from cancellation when the game kept getting delayed to the team's inexperience, reprogramming it from scratch.

>>5994327
I dont know but Bill Gates was

Iwata was Nintendo's Head of Corporate Business Planning and was a member of NoJ's Board of Directors before he was President. Also, profits jumped up because of him.

Meanwhile, Awakawa almost immediately scuddled NoA, lost what should have been complete control over the American market, and let the company get seen as a Baby Game laughing stock by Sega (a company that was a third stringer AT BEST in Japan's home console market) and Sony (the company whose sole purpose of joining the console war was to bury Nintendo).

>>5994286
That's because Gates had a near zaibatsu-style grip on the computer world.

>>5995140
>Awakawa almost immediately scuddled NoA
lmfao I don't know why you want to have such an absolutist opinion over someone who hasn't been that relevant in the game industry for 10+ years but for most of Arakawa's reign he did very successfully.
