Over the lasts months, many posts on this blog covered the creations and innovations by Nintendo master engineer and inventor
Gunpei Yokoi. And rightly so, as his imagination has been a key force in shaping Nintendo to what it is today. But it has never been a complete solo effort by Yokoi. Great designers work in great teams, with people who help shape, hone, extend and execute ideas.
In future posts, I will also spotlight some of Yokoi's collaboraters and colleagues from Nintendo's Research and Development department.
We will start with the inventor of two of my personal all-time Nintendo favorites:
Custom Gunman and Custom Lion (カステム ガンマン, カステム ライオン). These light gun targets were the last toys in the successful
Kousenjuu Custom (光線銃 カスツム) series.
