Thumbs up Gunpei Yokoi's 67th Birthday

IGN's run a complete article on the life of Metroid's creator, Gunpei Yokoi. It runs the gamut from the beginning of his career at Nintendo to his tragic death in a car collision. Truly he was one of the most important men in the history of video games.

Happy Birthday Mr. Yokoi.

^^ Wish I had the time to mess with something like that.

Yokoi was a genius and an artisan. I've always preferred him over Miyamoto as my favorite game celebrity.
