Sad news to report this morning. Hiroshi Yamauchi, former president of Nintendo of Japan, and head of the company until recently when Satoru Iwata took control, has died at the age of 85. Yamauchi-san was in charge during Nintendo's most successful years, such as the Launch of the NES all the way through the Gamecube. He will be missed.
