Bring Donkey Kong home! - The unenviable task given to Masayuki Uemura by Nintendo bosses in the early '80s. Unimpressed by Atari's 2600 they set out to bring a true videogame arcade experience into the home.

Thanks also to Akinori Nakamura for interpreting for us.


This video was filmed and edited by Sean Riley.

I wish there was a version of edit where you get his original voice with just translated subtitles :)

The creator of the NES says the 2600 was too simple for Japanese kids. I love it.

May this Man rest in peace. He made children smile and have fun even if they were having a bad day.

Damn... faithfully recreating it from scratch, with no high-level language, with barely over half the original storage space. I assume sprites were ported, though. In any case, a tough challenge!

The day may come for the Rushmore consisting of Yokoi, Yamauchi, Iwata and Uemera.

I'd like to add Japanese subtitles to this video, since some of Japanese people who might be interested in this video might find it difficult to watch Youtube videos in English.

This man is my Hero, I wouldn't know where my childhood would be in the 80s if it wasn't for creating the Nes/Famicom. He actually video games made a comeback thanks to him after the Video Game Crash of 1983. I'll never forget those all nighters with friends trying to beat a game and spending hours & hours playing. Those were the days especially renting a game and hopefully it was a fun game and you got 2 days to beat it before returning it or get a late fee which was worth the 3 or 4 bucks for another couple days. I owe this man so much respect. I'm 40 now and I still rock the Nes.

This is incredible, I didn't realize Ricoh was involved, and I didn't know the NES used COTS 6502 because of budget constraints, as opposed to later purpose-made processors! Literally only has one chip to push pixels quickly, one chip to process audio (and user input IIRC), and that's it! Didn't realize they had studied the Atari first, I guess the elegance of both designs (in terms of simplicity and extensibility) speaks for itself!

You can learn a lot about a computer or game console by knowing what game it was designed to faithfully recreate.

Edit: The un-edited interview is available in the description, so not so important.

Minor complaint: Although pseudo-muting the original speaker to effectively dub them with the translator is convenient in some respects (i.e. saving time for the viewer), I think it's really important to leave the original audio audible so that native speakers can hear and verify the original language of the speaker.
