A series called 'Outrageous Fortune' is a series of programs that takes a gander at companies that own a lotta cash to splash! The show is hosted by Libby Potter (Celebdaq! ^_^), and she talks to such Nintendo All-stars who comment and are seen throughout the program, such as former Tendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi's daughter Yoko and son-in-law Minoru Arakawa in their mansion in Hawaii (Nintendo of America), aswell as the one and only Shigeru Miyamoto!

Get this, Shigeru Miyamoto, is paid on a salary basis and continues to cycle to work and, even more bizarrely, has forfeited his entitlement to game royalties! You learn something new everyday! There's also a bit on how Nintendo products cause epileptic seizures...hmmmm...interesting!

The show goes out on BBC 3 Monday 19th April in the UK @ 9pm (BST), and will be repeated further on the channel! Everyone add it to your calendars...or Sky Digital Personal Planners A.S.A.P! I know i will, and i'll set 20 VCRs to record it aswell just incase!

Cool.... shame I don't have BBC3

Did anyone see the program? It was very very interesting!

Ooo, that Hiroshi Yamauchi guy is evil! lol

It was also very interesting how they tested 6 different Nintendo games out on the Birmingham University Seizure machine thingy to test how dangerous the games were to causing epilectic seizures, when 4 outta the 6 failed! Lesson learn't? Dont play Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime...or the infamous SNES game...Megaman X! That Capcom ey!

Instead, play The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker or Super Mario Brothers (SNES)! Perfecty harmless!

Very informative program! Missed it? They are repeating it on BBC 3 for the next couple of days. ^_^

That's why they have an epipsy warning on every game =/

well I don't have any problems so.... bleh :p, I have Super Mario Sunshine and I have no seizures. I can watch all the flashing and flickering and I won't go into a seizure. lol go me!

I saw it after bribing my mom with various mellons .

I cant beleve she said WIND MAKER instead of WIND WAKER!!! :o!!!

It was ok I suppose but how the heck can you have a siezure over the stair patters on MK: DD!
