I'm not even changing the plus/minus markers. Just changing the numbers one point in their respective directions. This is getting pointless hahaha.

Anyhow, I feel like offering an explanation of my unwavering support for Mr. Gunpei Yokoi. Not only is Mr. Yokoi responsible for work on many wonderful Nintendo franchises, but he is the biggest reason the Metroid series went the way it did, and he is basically the reason Nintendo became so big in the videogame market, since he headed the Game and Watch series, which is arguably the predecessor to the NES. Additionally, Yokoi invented the GameBoy brand, cementing Nintendo's position as handheld market leader for 20 years running. Lastly, my wife and I put the most gaming hours into our DS's (and we're even looking to purchase a third DS with a game, and asking for a whole mess of additional games for Christmas, which will put the count at 3 DS's and 32 games). If it weren't for Yokoi's invention of the GameBoy, I guarantee that the DS would have never come to be. Especially since he very possibly may have been the person that brainstormed the dual-screened G&W system. It is without a doubt that Yokoi-sama is directly behind Mr. Miyamoto in his extreme level of influence on the gaming world.
