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!

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. ^_^
