"Did Nintendo Kill Gunpei Yokoi?" Who the fuck starts a conversation like that? I just sat down.

I never heard of this theory, so what a wild title to be introduced to it.

It's very important to keep in mind that Gunpei Yokoi was Hiroshi Yamauchi's "favorite son" within Nintendo. Yamauchi wanted Yokoi to succeed him as CEO. I highly doubt even a failure as enormous as Virtual Boy would change that relationship. Once Yokoi died after never taking the position of CEO, Yamauchi gravitated towards Satoru Iwata to succeed him. Yamauchi seemed to want to leave the company in the hands of someone with experience on software/ hardware and who was more directly involved with making games.

This is one of those videos where I look at the title and go, "Who even thinks this is true?"

Should probably preface the title with “Debunking”

Some people just love pretending real life is like a movie, instead of it just being pretty plain

I learned about the conspiracy in the comment section of the WonderSwan video. The idea made me uncomfortable.
