Yamauchi Retiring from Nintendo's Board

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the calling-it-quits dept.

terrisus writes "While he had stepped down as President a few years back, Hiroshi Yamauchi had remained on Nintendo's Board of Directors. In June, however, Yamauchi will now be retiring from the Board of Directors as well. He will be foregoing his multi-million dollar retirement package, instead desiring the money be put to work in other places. He will still be a 10% stockholder in the company. It's sad to see him go."

    I think Nintendo is going to be to gaming what Apple is to computing: a niche manufacturer/developer with tons of good but different (or weird) ideas, quality software and hardware, and a devoted but relatively small fanbase. They're already partway there, so it's not much of a jump.
