In news tomorrow, Microsoft's buyout of Nintendo!

Joking aside, I hope it does not affect the quality of Nintendo's products. It would be a disaster if they get a new president who takes the company down the routes of EA or other fail game companies. It certainly would not be what he wanted.

Yeah. I was actually pretty saddened by this. He was a great voice in the community:

"On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer... When you remember me, it means you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I pass, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart."

I hope someone will be equally respectful of your departure, fladdermasken.
