Estil | 1,290 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I had no idea it was him who designed two of the all time greatest consoles, including the one (NES) who saved video gaming as we know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link | 2,878 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 For the dozens and maybe hundreds of hours I've spent reading about Nintendo's history, I'm kind of shocked, and disappointed, to say that when I first saw this thread I did not recognize his name. He deserves to be known at a level with the Yamauchis, Gunpei Yokoi, and Miyamoto, among others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesmaster14 | 464 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Absolute legend, thank you Mr. Uemura for all the joy you helped create through your work. I saw this video last year with Mr. Uemura himself talking about the NES/Famicom. It still has surprisingly low views but is a real gem: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
