The Completely Insane Policies of Nintendo’s President

September 28, 2018 By ausretrogamer

Wow, imagine for one minute that Hiroshi Yamauchi was your boss! Actually, as much as he wasn’t a fan of video games, he did modernise Nintendo and transform the video game market, so he couldn’t not have been that bonkers, or was he?

To celebrate Nintendo’s 129th anniversary, YouTuber Larry Bundy Jr has made a fact hunt video about the former company president – highlighting some of his “completely insane” policies. The vid runs for a tad over 12 minutes and includes his public dispute with Square Enix, his dislike of Japanese Role Playing Games (JRPGs) and his ridiculous demands to be the only Yamauchi at Nintendo!
