Gunpei Yokoi: Difference between revisions

Unfortunately, Yokoi never lived to see the results of that. While slowing up near a traffic accident, another car plowed into hishim, killing him at the scene. There was some controversy surrounding his death (mostly pertaining to the fact that the driver of the car that hit Yokoi's car was a known member of the [[Yakuza]]), although most dismiss such discussion as a [[Conspiracy Theory]]. The funny thing is that there are some conflicting accounts of the man's death. Other sources report that it was Yokoi himself who had just been in a minor fender bender and was blindsided by the gangster's car when he got out to survey the damage. Also suspicious is the fact that in both versions, a man by the name of Etsuo Kiso, who worked for Nintendo, was somehow involved in the fatal accident. Regardless, the WonderSwan ended up failing in the marketplace after Yokoi's passing.
