"This man will be known as the one who resurrected the video game industry from the failures of the Atari age. His legacy is world wide. Almost all gamers have played a game or system that he approved and his work shaped Japan and the world. His business sense and work with Artists like Miyamoto is why all of us enjoy the company and what happiness it brought with the NES up to the Wii U. I worked at Nintendo and I don't think I heard anything terrible about the group who created the NES up to the Gamecube. His legacy will continue forever as Mario and his iconic music is even known by the children of the farthest, smallest cities. RIP"

Karyete: I don't have anything to say to you, I've been deliberately trying to not offend you for years, actually, but apparently everything I say to you is wrong. You come across as so aggressive that you successfully intimidated me into not wanting to talk to you
Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.
Karyete: How pathetic

That and possibly all of gaming. He made the new inspiration for gaming. I do remember my happy days with the gameboy. Thanks for creating the legacy. Now we should just leave luck to heaven.

Rest in Peace.

Damn, you totally stole what I was going to say Kondarix.

Nintendo really has been quite inspirational with great games like Mario, Fire Emblem, Kirby, etc. All those good times... glad they're still here, I mean their current games are actually looking good.
Expect something cool here soon!
