Masayuki Uemura, Super Nintendo game console creator (1943 - 2021)

This just in to my music operations' newsroom, everyone (and my finally able to pass this word along after taking a long nap hours ago from dealing with some important errands outside of here) - it's with a heavy heart that we have to announce that the creator of the Super Nintendo game console itself, Masayuki Uemura, has passed away at the age of 78.

Not only was this person involved in the creation of the Super Nintendo game console way back in the 1990s, but its predecessor as well (which would obviously be the Nintendo Entertainment System). Both of these major contributions to the Nintendo company as a whole, along with the videogame industry itself at large, would literally set the course of what would follow afterwards including what we've been experiencing now regarding the videogame consoles available today as we speak.

We here definitely give out sincere thanks to Uemura for this very important contribution to the videogame hobbyist community at large and offer our condolences to the rest of his family.

Godspeed, Uemura; we salute you.
