Not sure where the respective place was for this topic, but I'm assuming here.

Anyways, Hiroshi Yamauchi, who served as president of Nintendo from 1949 till 2002 and was credited for turning the company from a card-making company to a gaming company, passed away today at the age of 85 from pneumonia. Here's the article from NBC.

Rest in peace, Mr. Yamauchi, and thank you so much for what you've given us.

That's right, I made an avatar for this. I think this deserves it.
