Did Nintendo really have him murdered?

I doubt it. While beneficial to them to remove a top man from helping a rival, I'm not aware of any evidence suggesting purposeful foul play.

As much as I love the idea of funposting around about nintendo and the yakuza, it makes me sad to remember that Yokoi died that way.
Apparently he died trying to help other people who got hurt on the chain accident.

His death was the M.O. of the yakuza. A third option could be shady business deals on his own, but I doubt it.
Also he was unjustly "retired". The virtual boy displayed a vision of the future that was decades ahead of its time.

Nintendo did not at all use their connections with the Yakuza to have Yokoi killed. It was a car accident.

Actually, he died to inspect the damage to his own car after it rear-ended the truck, along with associate Etsuo Kiso who was the one driving. He was simply hit by a passing car that did not see him since they were inspecting the damage to the car outside in the middle of a busy road.
