*Even More Huge* Former Nintendo CEO responds with "suck my yellow balls Mr Ballmer" to Microsoft buy out offer

NOW HE IS safely retired, the 77-year old former Nintendo boss Hiroshi Yamaushi is regaling Wired magazine about how he reverted to abuse to silence the mighty Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

Apparently Microsoft was making a bid to buy Nintendo for absolutely huge amounts of money. Vole was confident that Nintendo would take it. The Game Cube wasn't doing particularly well at the time and there was a lot of money involved. Ballmer himself showed up at the negotiations to have a quiet word.


:laugh: When is it my turn to tell him off?

Tell who off?

I thought this was a fake.

The translator looked embarrassed and was clearly not translating the phrase exactly, although Ballmer did smile at a sentence that included the word 'yellow' in it.

Frustrated Yamaushi stood on a chair, put his hands around his mouth and very slowly and in English said: "Hey Ballmer why don't you suck my tiny yellow balls."

Still pissed about Nagasaki, I'll bet.

Reminds me of the Southpark Pokemon episode.

That Wired article that SuperTool linked is a MUST READ.

Probably one of the most raw industry interviews I've ever read.

what the hell? i love nintendo and find their systems and games vastly superior to anyone elses, but why does hiroshi display such hatred for americans? he comes off racist almost. and he's tries to spin the ww2 thing into something positive? you forgot the part about siding with the most evil person that the world has ever seen.

he should lay off the japan vs usa crap because they support each other. we invented video games for christs sake and the tv too and introduced japan to arcade games in the first place.

Even though he's right on most of his points?

He sounds pretty arrogant, which must be pretty good for a businessman.

He made some strange comments, seems to have an insane amount of Japanese pride. He seems to be kind of proud of WW2 and seems to be forget that the US didn't end up getting beaten by Japan economically.

Sorry to dissapoint you gentlemen, but this "interview" is fake. It's been circulating on the internet for a while, and, sadly, some people still take it seriously.

I'm confused why someone would go through the trouble to write something with this much depth.....
