*Edit[ k, that title should have been Anger, but can't edit titles, grrr ]*

Check this link for an interview with good ol' retired Nintendo boss Hiroshi Yamauchi.

I can't quite decide if it's fake or not. He's retired now so can say pretty much all he wants, but is that an excuse to keep talking about, or referring to his genitalia!?!

Yeah ok, fair enough.

Bit of a shame though.

What's to say you couldn't see the flash of the Hiroshima atomic bomb from Kyoto though? I'm unsure of the geography of Japan, so I have no idea what stands in the way, but given that the flash of the atom bomb is akin to that of the sun, 200 miles away isn't such a huge obstacle.

Indeed, especially for a huge thermo-nuclear flash.

But the context he used it in - he said that he saw it and thought "never again".

Yet I highly doubt a boy of 16 would even have been able to comprehend the technology/strength etc of the atomic bomb in such early years of it's creation/development, especially when that was the first time it was used on a world wide scale/for war purposes for all to see.

What I'm saying is, he'd have seen the flash and thought "omfg wft is that m8", not, "I bet that's that thermo-nuclear atomic device going of in Hiroshima again."

You're saying that the father of Nintendo was a chav at 16? :D

No, at 16 I'd have been more thoughtful about it all than that.

Actually no I'd have been more like: "Holy crap let's get inside because of the radiation."

But that's just it.

A boy of 16 wouldn't have known what the hell it was, nor it's power, nor its devastation.

It wouldn't have been until some time after that he'd have known what it was about, so the context the article claimed that he said "I saw the flash of the atomic bomb, and thought 'never again'" doesn't fit.
