And the only hardware he created in the ’80s were Game & Watch and Game Boy… for which he has, again, received plenty of credit.

It wasn’t a patch on Super Mario Bros, though. It didn’t even have a joystick — you controlled it with left/right buttons, like Space Invaders.

He was the lead designer of Metroid, was he not? You can add that accomplishment to all the trendsetting hardware he created for Nintendo throughout the 1980s.
