Dead at 85
(http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/09/19/0919-hiroshi-nintendo-1.jpg)
Ex-Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi -- who revolutionized the video game industry by introducing the world to Super Mario -- died this morning of pneumonia at a hospital in Japan.
Yamauchi introduced the Nintendo Entertainment System to America in 1985, and followed up by launching the greatest video game franchises in history, including Super Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong.
Hiroshi left the company in 2002 -- but reportedly refused to accept his retirement pension allegedly worth between $9 to $14 million dollars ... claiming Nintendo could put it to better use.
With an estimated net worth of around $2.1 billion, Hiroshi was ranked the 13th richest man in Japan at the time of his death.
Hiroshi was 85. He is survived by his wife and 3 kids.
Now fire up that NES and kick some Bowser ass in his honor.

Nintendo went to shit after N64. Now they only have the kid market. Funny, that most of us that grew up with the original NES, could give a shit now.

Dont agree there. Games like Mario Bros, MegaMan, Contra, Metroid etc.. will always stand the test of time. You cant tell me that today's best games are not amazing.

$2 says he died having a heart attack trying to blow the dust out of one of those big grey original NES game cartridges. (probably Double Dragon... Zelda sucks ;D)
I remember spending many Friday nights playing Skate Or Die, 720, Excitebike, California Games (the surfing one), and R.B.I. and TecmoBowl on until I got frustrated then switching channels to watch USA's "UP All Night" with Rhonda Sheer for an hour, then going back to NES....... good memories.
