Summary
Today was the day that Nintendo's former president, Hiroshi Yamauchi, passed away. Stephen takes this vlog day to talk a bit about Yamauchi's life. He was responsible for bringing Nintendo into the video game industry, introducing playing cards to Japan, and buying the Seattle Mariners, thus allowing Japanese players to play on American baseball teams. To honor Yamauchi's life, Stephen asks the audience to talk about their fond memories of Nintendo games, pre-2002. He also encourages the audience to read up on Yamauchi's life, and links an article on his life in the video description.
