Yamauchi and His Enemies

The Iron Fist in the Silk Glove.


Hiroshi Yamauchi was one of Nintendo’s former presidents, who oversaw the company through its formative years of becoming a video game powerhouse. His leadership style was harsh, and his legacy is controversial. He was a very different man than Iwata or Kimishima that we have come to know and love, so let’s take a look at how he differed and how he helped Nintendo become what it is today.

The Nonspecific Action Figure Special

Everyone, retrieve your Smash Ballots, cross out “Bayonetta” for goodness sake, and write this wonderful man in!


Nonspecific Action Figure, the mysterious mascot that helped introduce us to the Wii U. Quickly forgotten, NSAF didn’t quite get to enjoy his time in the spotlight that he deserved. Well, we’re going to do our best to rectify that issue and spend an entire video talking about him, his plasticness, that mask, those muscles, wings, and sword?! NSAF, who are you? Where did you go? And for the love of Sakurai, WHY AREN’T YOU IN SUPER SMASH BROS?

Should Sakurai Quit Smash Bros?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

You know you’re messed up when you gotta use a third party controller. :(


We love Sakurai, the director of Smash Bros. There’s no question about that. But we do have some real concerns about him that range from the health of his body to the way he manages his employees. It might actually be the case that developing Smash Bros. games isn’t the best thing for him, or for his company! We are going to examine the issue from each angle and do our best to come to an objective conclusion: Should Sakurai quit?
