Greetings Nintendo and gaming fans,
October 4th will be the anniversary of the late Gunpei Yokoi's tragic death.
I was blessed to have met this brilliant man during the unveiling of Virtual Boy
at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3 1995). Many of you have never seen
Mr. Yokoi but still photos. Well, I recently recovered the footage of me meeting
Mr. Yokoi, 13 years ago. I thought i'd share the experience to all the Nintendo
fans and gamers alike. To celebrate Mr. Yokoi's contributions to the gaming
industry - I put together a short tribute to the man practically responsible
for ressurrecting the gaming industry.
I've uploaded the Yokoi footage in two locations:
Vimeo ( for best video and sound quality ): http://www.vimeo.com/1501372
YouTube ( my retro gaming channel ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anyTBA46eyY
Hope you enjoy :)
