Longtime Nintendo Producer Leaves After Nearly 40 Years

So, I just heard the news and I’m a little bummed. Hideki Konno, who’s been at Nintendo for almost 40 years, has retired. Seriously, this guy was a legend! He started way back in 1986 helping out on Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3. But he really made his mark on the Mario universe with Mario Kart – he directed or produced almost every single one! Plus, he was the director behind awesome games like Yoshi’s Island and Luigi’s Mansion. It’s the end of an era, and I’m going to miss seeing his name in the credits.
