RIP. What happens to Nintendo now?
Awesome. I've been trying to find an old version that had captions.for those interested about hidden stuff in Nintendo games, here's a clip showing Yamauchi talking about stuff that was made with Mario Artist Talent Studio's movie making feature: video

Nothing happens to Nintendo? All they'll do is mourn his death.
We?We used to hate this guy when he was in charge, but so much love now, I like it, also what's with the "legend" posts?

Good night sweet prince. So what happens to his shares now? Forwarded down the line through the will? Forgive me if I am ignorant on this matter
Calling gamers ignorant over who owns shares. What.uh he was a major stakeholder in the company
It always blows me away how ignorant "gamers" are about the industry they love
Basically this (except for the birthday). He was a legend and will be solely missed. Truly shocking.Today is my birthday and I receive a really sad news like that.
Yamauchi, you are a of the founders of modern game market and the responsible for Nintendo be the amazing company it is. Rest in peace, you deserve it.
He was a ruthless, cunning, and vindictive businessman who never played a video game in his life... but without him, Nintendo wouldn't be the juggernaut it is today and the entire video game industry as we know it would be radically different. He may not have been a nice man, but he is one of video gaming's legends and will be sorely missed. RIP Hiroshi Yamauchi.
When someone dies, their shares don't just release in to the ether for people to buy back. They're considered inheritable income and might be taxed but are not just released back to the company unless they're specifically outlined in the will to do that. They'll almost certainly go to his daughter and Arakawa.uh he was a major stakeholder in the company

I wouldn't be so quick to call others ignorant, were I you.
For anybody speculating that Minoru Arakawa might come back, he's currently running international Tetris tournaments while living in Hawaii.
He's making tons of bank doing relatively little work. I doubt he would want to leave that for the hectic world of high stakes Video gaming that Nintendo is currently in.
"[People who play RPGs are] depressed gamers who like to sit alone in their dark rooms and play slow games," he noted in a 1999 interview. Yamauchi - who incidentally has prided himself on the fact that he has never played a videogame - went on to call RPGs as a whole both "silly and boring."
