RIP, huge loss but permanent legacy that brought about smiles to the faces of millions

A true legend unlike that retard limey oi me speccy faggot

>>8403431
>A true legend unlike that retard limey oi me speccy faggot

That guy got knighted. Did Uemura get anything similar from his emperor?

This man was the architect of Znezzz slowdown.

>>8403440
Who gives a fuck you cunts knight a bunch of pedos and pakis, it means literally nothing.

>>8403383

I wouldn't exactly call the SNES a powerhouse, but all of his consoles are of course beloved all over the world and connected to happy memories.

RIP you glorious bastard, you influenced the world more than most people ever have.

RIP.
Two of my 3 favorite consoles of all time.

>>8403383
He didn't piss Nintendo off, did he?

Rest in peace, old man. Thanks for the legendary work on consoles and games.

I'll never forget times of playing Ice Climber and Golf with my pal every morning just before going to school.

Rest in peace, Uemura-san. The Famicom makes me happy, thank you for that.

Rest in peace, Mr. Uemura.

>>8403383
I hate the fact that lead architects get all the rep even though the team does most of the work.
Not saying it's his fault, but still.

>>8403516

Thank you for your service, Uemura-san.

>>8403383
rest in peace sir

Goodnight, sweet Prince! Thank you for my childhood.

>>8403383
Rest in peace, you magnificent man. You created a revolution in video gaming with some of the greatest, most influential consoles of all time. Thank you for everything.

Dang, I really love the SNES. I was always impressed by how nice some of the later games looked, obviously there were different cartridge sizes and whatnot but its so impressive how much improvement occurred over the console’s life.
NES Tennis is cool too.

who?

>>8403383
Here's to you.
Rest in peace

UEMURA-SAAAANNNNN

>>8403414
Reconfiguring my emulators. The world is such a nicer place with these endless libraries of SNES and NES games. The SNES is probably my favorite of all time.

>>8403516
Yep, welcome to the corporate tech world

F. SNES is still garbo though. It was saved solely by nintendo's brand recognition.

>>8403383
RIP I loved the SNES so much.

Cool it with the racism. Pearl Harbour was a long time ago

Literally who?

>>8403383

>>8403383
RIP, feels like 78 is too young for someone like him but then Iwata died at 55. At least he's done his mark and more than 3 decades later the consoles he designed are still being celebrated and its games still played/hacked remembered.

Time waits for no man. I hope he had a fulfilling life

Man, as I get older these stories get more and more depressing

rip

>>8403678
I'm not American.

RIP
I wonder if he designed the nes/famicom with mappers in mind, or if this was an after thought.

>>8403707
The rape of Naanbread was a long time ago

>>8403383
SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY...

>>8403383
R.I.P. Mr. Uemura.

>>8403516
Architect designs a cathedral. He draws and writes the plans, assembles a team, picks the materials. Yes he deserves credit for building that cathedral.
The illiterate peasants who broke their backs putting in each stone also deserve their share of credit, because we give credit to the architect doesn't mean we deny those.

Sugiyama now this nigga, damn.
F

>>8403708
it begs the question indeed, was it intentional in the system design or a hack devs found. It the same with the sound design, the data goes through the cartridge before being sent to the system which allowed devs to add their sound chips like for Castlevania III and Lagrange Point.

>>8403708
>>8403774
I'd bet it were simply serendipity, but who knows.

>>8403774
It was absolutely an intended part of the design.

>>8403708
Expansion capability was always intended as part of the design.

>>8403774
It was very much intended.

>>8403383
RIP Masayuki Uemura
Countless hours of joy thanks to him

Fuck nintendo and fuck this faggot

>After two years, Uemura and his team had created what Yamauchi had asked for: the Famiry Computer, or Famicom. Nintendo’s 8-bit console could pray interchangeable cartridges and raunched with three games: Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr and Popeye.
>Uemura’s R&D2 team was arso responsible for the western redesign of the Famicom, which was renamed the Nintendo Entertainment System. The NES was just as successful around the worrd, and combined the Famicom and NES sord 61.91 million units.
>Forrowing the success of its 8-bit consore, Nintendo then tasked Uemura with reading the creation of its successor. The resurt was the Super Famicom / SNES, Nintendo’s 16-bit powerhouse which sold a further 49 mirrion units worrdwide.
>In his time at Nintendo, Uemura red the design on the rikes of the Famicom Disk System, the Saterraview add-on for the Super Famicom and the NES Zapper.
>He also produced a number of NES games, incruding Ice Crimber, Gorf, Tennis, Basebarr and the home ports of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr and Mario Bros.

>Uemura retired from Nintendo in 2004, but continued to corraborate with the company as an advisor.

Fuuuuck, rest in peace you magnificent bastard, rove those consores.

>>8403516

Goddamn.
Thus is the 4th time I visit this board because my gf got a nintendo switch and I came here to talk about Breath Of Fire with fellow rpg enthusiasts, thinking to myself how I rode the coattails of the 90s capcom generation with Pokemon, but I also played Street Fighter 2.

This thread has been up for 8 hours now and it hasn't even touched 100 posts. Is 4chan shrinking?

Sure, just blame it on the rules not conforming to your preferences anymore despite a completely absence of evidence.

Time waits for no man. I hope he had a furfirring life

Man, as I get order these stories get more and more depressing

Reast in Peace! You will never be forgotten!

The Snes hardware design was a piece of shit so I'm just sad he didn't die in an Yakuza accident earlier.

R.I.P. legend

F for Famicom

>>8404625
We were spoiled by being used to the video game medium being only like 30 years old so all the "old timers" were still around. Then Ralph Baer died and we collectively realized that it's now old enough that generations of creators are going to start passing away.

>>8404448
>>8404452
What rule change?

>>8404221
He also only designed the NES and SNES, and just those. They have faults but were highly competitive machines with reasonable weaknesses and advantages. Then they go to SGI to create a hamstrung monstrosity, and SGI spent more time celebrating that they got a contract with Nintendo than actually designing a good system. The GameCube was in theory a return to form, but it was too little, too late, and its minidisks were a pointless limitation. Had the SNES successor followed the same path as the NES and SNES, publishers would've put up with the GameCube's weirdness out of good will alone.

Fuck man, this one actually hit me. The amount of entertainment this man help bring to millions of people for his time.

Fucking F. man.

Rest in Peace guy.

>>8403383
rest in peace Mr. Uemura, thank you for the memories

What does this mean?

>>8405378
I believe it's memory mapping on the NES/Famicom. It goes from 0 to 255 which means it's an 8 bit processor.

>>8405393
In my experience from reading datasheets and writing libraries, memory maps are presented as register addresses and expressed in hex. Never seen a memory map like this before.

>>8403383

doubtful
uemura was head of R&D2 up until 06
considering how cancer works, he couldve easily been battling it for the past 15yrs off and on. could be why he retired in the first place idk. most dont make that kind of info public if they can help it, doubly so for nips

gunpei yokoi was a different matter
in spite of the mountains of cash he made them prior, the virtual boy was the biggest failure in nintendo history. then he """resigned""" and turned right around and started his own company that produced THE biggest competitor at least in japan to his own GB, costing them even MORE money

even if one doesnt believe he got rubbed out, its abundantly clear that yokoi did not resign of his own accord
he was forced to, and clearly felt bitter enough about it to go into direct competition with them immediately after

>>8403383
Rest in peace, lord.
Thank you, for everything, especially the SNES!
The sounds, mode 7, the memories, and the brain tickling nostalgia you gave to my senses, and my mind.

F. NES is a God tier gaming system. Hats off you beautiful bastard!

This is a meta question not specifically directed towards /vr/, but why are death announcements the only stickies? I mean, I guess /v/ sometimes gets stickies for E3 or whatever, and /sp/ gets stickies for championship game threads. But everything else for other boards (besides the stickies explaining the rules of the board) are just to announce someone died.

>>8412132
such is the nature of a retro board. You can't really have new developments in hardware and software. That's not retro.
But the passing of developers responsible for the hardware and software of the board? That's pretty relevant here.

>>8412167
Yeah, but I was asking about 4chan in general, not specifically /vr/
