Gunpei Yokoi’s birthday is on September the 10th! don’t forget it! 😀

I will try to find time to play my Virtual Boy that day (I didn’t have a VB last year when it was Yokoi’s birthday, so this is wonderful!)

He would have turned 69 years old

May He Rest In Peace knowing there is a whole awesome site full of VB enthusiasts that love and still play his most misunderstood invention, the Virtual Boy of course! 😉

May he RIP, I wish he could see the community still devoted to unlock the full potential of his creation!

RIP Gunpei.
Exactly one week before the 10th, I found my Virtual Boy cold and alone. Is that a sign? 😉
