The man who created toys for Nintendo and then created the Game Boy? Without him, we'd probably have no DS! We'd have no Link's Awakening, probably no Kirby at all, really. Miyamoto gave us Mario and Zelda, but Gunpei Yokoi gave us the frickin' GAME BOY! Yes, but what made the gameboy what it is? GAMES. Logged

Personally I don't think he deserved all the harshness he got for the failure of the virtual boy: he made bold step and it backfired. Everyone makes mistakes. Logged

To bomb or not to bomb... Reputation: +6/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 4162	I know he was not Miyamoto, but the man had guts. If there were no Game Boy, there'd be no Link's Awakening, Oracles, Minish Cap, Four Swords, etc. Really, he brought handheld gaming to it's current level. And of course games made the game boy what it is, but what if there was no game boy? That's what I was getting at. We'd have the Game Gear Mark V and stuff. Logged

I thought he played banjo? Banjo hero could be interesting now... the gameplay wouldn't be in the way you fret (that's not so important for banjo) but in the way you pick the strings... Logged

And talk about Yokoi, it was him who made them stall the release of a colour hand held, which was a good strategy as the other competitors when the gameboy was out all failed partly due to short battery life. So who knows? Logged

Doesn't afraid of anything Reputation: +42/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 7002	Gaming companies are really harsh about their standards. When Yokoi created the virtual boy and it failed, Nintendo pretty much told him, "Oh, we're not gonna fire you for failing miserably BUT we're going to put you in a job where you basically sit there and do nothing." So yea...they pretty much crippled him -.- Logged

Nah, the DS version would be a Kazoo. You hold the DS up against your mouth, blow into the microphone constantly, and press on the screen to change the note.

You make them sound way too much like mob bosses:

"Okay, you lost our money, that's okay, you can still work for us. Just, you'll need crutches."
"Why would I need - OHGODMYLEGSTHISISTHEWORSTPAINEVER."
