Love him or hate, Yamauchi was responsible for saving the console industry after the hardware crash of the early 80s.

Well. Sort of. He never actually played a game. He just approved  concepts thinking they would sell good. He was a great businessman though it was the development staff at nintendo the did the real saving. 

he hired the development staff. so yeah.
