āI just found out about the news regarding the death of former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi. He created the Famicom, and the game business in Japan, and made it into a recognized part of the game industry around the world. And he also loved PokĆ©mon. Mr. Yamauchi, today we surpassed one million preorders for XYā¦ I pray from the bottom of my heart for your happiness in the next world.ā
On behalf of Siliconera, rest in peace, Mr. Yamauchi. Thank you for all your hard work.
