I dont think that is confirmed. The guy left to form his own studio. According to Nintendo he was never blamed for the failure of the VB. They could be lying, but there dont seem to be any evidence of that. Unless you have a source for this?

I think Yokoi leaving to form a competitor system to the GameBoy so as to challenge their “power over ‘Blue Ocean’” Project Atlantis is strong evidence. DYKG made a fantastic documentary, so you may want to check out whatever sources he cites.

Well he was always a hardware guy. Would be weird if he left to start a company that makes ice cream. Also it was Bandai he made the WonderSwan for, so you could say they were the ones that challenged Nintendo. Also Yokoi was probably a very sought after guy by other companies in the industry after leaving Nintendo. The guy had already achieved so much by then. 

I think its just as easy to think he left on his own than being forced out or fired is all Im saying really. We may never know for sure.
