One of the giants and pioneers of the videogame industry passed away last week. Kyoto born Hiroshi Yamauchi was the President of Nintendo from back when they were still making Hanafuda playing cards until the early 2000s. 

 

 

The great grandson of Nintendo's founder, he early on saw the importance of forging a new future for the company he was inheriting. Though Disney branded cards were doing well for the company, he believed that selling hanafuda wasn't in the cards (so to speak) for the future of Nintendo. Briefly dabbling in producing different ventures (including Taxis, instant food and Love Hotels), he eventually settled on toys. Their first success was the ULTRA HAND grabber, designed by the late Gunpei Yokoi, a maintenance man who eventually would create the original Game Boy. This convinced Yamauchi that toys were the way to go.

 

Yamauchi had a knack for prediction, and he saw the rapidly increasing sophistication of electronics would be ripe to combine with toys, and saw the American arcades with their crazy "video games" as a possible future for the company. After their early games failed to translate to the west, he tasked a young Shigeru Miyamoto with developing a new game using one of the unsuccessful prior games as a base. Based slightly on characters from the main characters of Popeye(!) Miyamoto's baby would become the Donkey Kong we all know and love. It was on like, well you know. 

 

Even despite the (Atari ET licensed game caused) video game crash of the early 80s, he believed in the home video game console market, pushing for the development and eventual export of the FamilyComputer. The NES was sold in the US as a toy, since it included a neat looking but mostly not useful ROB robot. 

 

Yamauchi would continue to run the company through it's golden age, purchasing the Seattle Mariners and retiring in 2002. He had a very interesting managerial style, setting up multiple competing divisions to create innovation, and was known for his often controversial statements on gaming, RPG players and much more. The industry would not have been the same without him, I'd highly recommend reading more on this amazing man's life!

What has been changed with these?

[michaeleeli]

They are just fixing description rather than effect - I think Oda just worded it wrongly

[RoseRed21]

What has been changed with these?

 

 

Description Fixes

^they fixed the effect description of those items.

[KamiKali]

Please put packs of 30 +10 foods for 210 KP each back please!

[DrAzzy]

What has been changed with these?

I'd like to know this too. 

 

I hope this is just a change to the descriptions, not an effect change. 

 

The items have had their current effects for years, and changing the effects so that they only work on physical or magical damage (as the descs originally - incorrectly - stated) would be a huge nerf, since it would make them stack multiplicatively instead of additively with other racial reduction - meaning that with cranial and woe set, you'd be better off using feather beret instead of +12 CEB/RPB!

Is this why Enriched & Enriched Ores aren't being added this week? I'm usually talking about how often & how long you put him but this time he's been out for 3 weeks now plus he hasn't even been added for the weekend.

It's great to see all these items being fixed but I would like to know what is being done to fix the Bako Tattoo? I have sent in a ticket, which has not been replied to, & I have also posted this under the Fix Item Description Thread.

Another thing about these item changes, what's being changed on PecoPeco Hairband? Are you ever going to make the Pirate Bandana tradeable & vendable, even though not many others probably needs them either?

 

Going on like Oda already said there is no point in doing anything to compensate us yet, for the server problems last  week, when they are still have the same server problems this week. Not only did the Server go down at least twice this morning but so did the forums. The forums have also been taking a long time to load lately.

 

I asked this last week but never got an answer.

Why is it that the WoE info, has been showing in the chat window only on some days but not others, even though it's unselected, shouldn't appear at all?

 

Sorry for so many questions. I would appreciate you & Camp answering them the best you can.

 

Thanks!
