Greetings Nintendo fans,

October 4th will be the anniversary of the late Gunpei Yokoi tragic death.
I was blessed to have met this brilliant man during the unveiling of Virtual Boy at the Electronic Entertainment Expo ( E3 1995 ). Many of you have never seen Mr. Yokoi but still photos. Well, I recently recovered the footage of me meeting Mr. Yokoi 13 years ago.  I thought i'd share the experience to all the Nintendo and gaming fans. To celebrate Mr. Yokoi's contributions to the gaming industry - I put together a short tribute to the man practically responsible for ressurrecting the gaming industry.

I've uploaded the Yokoi footage in two locations:

Vimeo ( for best video quality ): http://www.vimeo.com/1501372

YouTube ( my retro gaming channel ):

Hope you enjoy it :)
