@Nintendo4Lyfe Cheesy 80's Performer: Children of the sun,
See your time has just begun,
Searching for your ways,
Through adventures every day.
Every day and night,
With the condor in flight,
With all your friends in tow,
You search for the Cities of Gold!

Everyone now: Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh! Looking for the Cities of Gold!
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh! Someday we will find the Cities of Gold!

Re: Nintendo Falls Under Further Pressure Regarding Conflict Mineral Policies

I'm sorry to say this, but Nintendo probably has almost the least influence on slave labor. If the local government where the atrocities happen doesn't take action, no corporation can enforce anything. It is the government's job to protect its people and enforce labor laws, not companies. At their base, all companies are rightfully out to make a profit. That makes them a fundamentally inappropriate avenue to address labor problems. Even the best intentioned companies can only work within the law.

Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo Virtual Boy

I heard that at the time it was released, Gunpei Yokoi begged superiors not to release the Virtual Boy yet because they didn't have the technology for a better display with more than one color and they hadn't worked out all the kinks. But he was overridden and the system went into the wild. Essentially, the Virtual Boy was a premature birth and didn't make it too long. I think the system was WAY underrated for the time in which it was released and if it was given a year or two more could have matured into a great platform.
