That's not even the best part though. Yamauchi's worth has jumped $3 billion in the past year, irrefutable proof that there's at least one person on planet Earth who loves Nintendo more than Fernando Rocker.

You know I gotta say Fenix,
As impressive as that looks, I hate noticing the right analog stick camera movement "look" going on in 360/PS3 FPSs. The more real these games get, the more those stiff left and right/up and down turns stick out to me.

If nothing else, then first WAAAAY too many damn times. I don't think Fernando's hobby is actually playing Nintendo games, but rather it's commenting about Nintendo games. He probably doesn't even own a Wii, or any gaming console for that matter.
That's right Fernando, we've seen through your lies good sir.

Honestly, I'm surprised the richest human alive isn't an oil baron or weapons manufacturer.
And given the amount of money this man is worth/has, he could fund his own game system & software. HiroSoft's Yamando64. Man, I should work in marketing instead of Fire Rescue...

I'm pretty sure most oil guys aren't japanese that's probably why. It says japan's richest guy not worlds. I'm pretty sure gates still has that record although I wouldn't be surprised if it's some saudi arabian douchebag oil guy now.

The richest man in the world is the guy who owns Ikea.

Remember when we were kids and we were taught being a good man was enough? Yamauchi is the antithesis to that. Congrats you evil, evil man.

Fernando> ::Deep in his lair a mile below sea level, he sits there lurking amongst a surprising haul of SONY™ themed gear, consoles, and software; playing UNCHARTED and wearing a "Miyamoto Is Overrated" t-shirt with the stereo system softly playing "Secret Lovers" by AtlanticStarr as he sings along!::
"...Here we are, the two of us together
Takin’ this crazy chance to be all alone
We both know that we should not be together
‘Cause if we’re found out, it could mess up
Both our happy homes!"

Why does it sound fishy? Yamauchi OWNS 11% of Nintendo, he is the largest shareholder. Think about how much money Nintendo is worth as a company. Okay, got that in your head? A little more than a tenth of that is his, he owns it.
He also owns the Seattle Mariners.

I find it kind of sad that the richest man in Japan is the former chairman of a GAME COMPANY. Not an engineer, doctor, or any other skill that benefits humanity. It just goes to show how important a role entertainment play in humanity. Just look at how well paid musicians and athletes are.
Oh, and nice zing on Fernando...good show Justin =]

Is it possible that Fernando is the only person who doesn't know what a gigantic fanboy he is?

He was the guy making all the stupid decisions though. He forced the virtual boy into production when it needed more development, he kept using cartridges past their useful lifetime, and his leadership swansong was the cuboid of irrelevance that was the Gamecube.
He, of course, responsible of putting Nintendo on the map, and is probably the single most important reason that the industry as a whole is what it is today. But that what shoots him to the top from very near the top is what he essentially stifled is all manner of odd.

There was no reason to blast Fernando out like that. I'm not his biggest fan, but shit like this is not funny anymore.
