Yes, why would a person connected to Nintendo for decades of his life have someone from Nintendo in a car with him.

Maybe it's time for a game based on it starring Kevin Costner.

iidesuyo said:After starting to work for Bandai and having been treated like an outcast at Nintendo?
Gravijah said:OK then let's play this game. Why would the Nintendo person be there at all?
Thinking about Bandai, Yokoi's financial backers after he left Nintendo... Bandai and Nintendo shared the same bankers. It was the bank that suggested that Nintendo buy Bandai, prompting Bandai to rush into the Namco merger.iidesuyo said:After starting to work for Bandai and having been treated like an outcast at Nintendo?
Another possibility: Because he was already or soon-to-be working for Nintendo as an independent advisor.Willy105 said:Realistic: Maybe they were best buds from the old days.
OMGBBQ: Maybe he came to ask Yokoi if he could come back to Nintendo, then the car broke down, and then the crash happened.

Prime crotch said:Gunpei Yokoi was killed the same year the Dreamcast was being developed, coincidence? I think not.
Also, if you rearrange Gunpei Yokoi, you get "Sega does what Nintendon't" in hex.

farnham said:why would a nintendo exec risk a life long sentence or even a death sentence (which is being practiced in japan) over an ex nintendo exec that got fired because of a failed product.
sure he made wonderswan and everything but he was no real threat to nintendo anyways

Which is why he had to die, shuri.shuri said:Didnt Iwata say in the last episode of Iwata Laughs that Gunpei wasnt even working at nintendo for a couple of months when it happened? He had created his own company by then
Everyone has an escape route. Except the people who don't matter. They never have escape routes. Start planning your escape routes. It doesn't matter what they escape from or where they escape too. If you make enough of them, little things like that won't matter.shuri said:Didnt Iwata say in the last episode of Iwata Laughs that Gunpei wasnt even working at nintendo anymore for a couple of months when it happened?

ShinobiFist said:It could be true. People in GAF are acting like shit like this doesn't happen. I mean shit, people believe in Jesus Christ but theres no real life historical log of the man. But people still believe he was real. The wacking of Gunpei is more believable than Jesus Christ ever being born.
Pff, I wonder if you're covering up for anyone, Mr. Bentendo. Yeah, didn't think anyone would notice, did you? You'll have to do better than that, I'm afraid.Bentendo said:First off, Yokoi didn't quit, he retired. He actually stayed four years longer than intended.
Second of all, he was with Nintendo for YEARS, chances are he made friends with some of the employees, and stayed in contact with them after he RETIRED, explaining why he was in the car with one.
What the hell does Jesus have to do with this? Holy shit dude.

Shikamaru Ninja said:Yokoi retired from Nintendo but in good terms. Not because of a shameful failure, but because he worked at Nintendo for over 30 years, and really wanted to have a smaller operation developing quirky things like little LCD key chain games.
Shikamaru Ninja said:Gunpei Yokoi and Hiroshi Yamauchi had a father and son relation. It's been documented how Yamauchi would have Yokoi pick him up on weekends, and often take him to eat at fancy restaurants. Yamauchi would never fathom such a thing.

never trust a junkie
SonOfABeep said:no
he wasn't even working for nintendo at the time was he? He was with bandai I think.
Maybe he was shamed out of the company for the virtual boy debacle but not killed. Even if the yakuza was involved maybe he owed them some money or something?

Ah, get a sense of humour.MisterHero said:it's disgusting that people even find this humourous
sure I like a mafia boss Yamauchi joke as much as the next guy, but this joke is overplayed and was never funny
