Masaya Nakamura, Founder of Namco, Passes Away.

It was made public yesterday by Bandai Namco that Masaya Nakamura had deceased. Without his guidance and vision for Namco, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the greatest fighting game series of all time.

We are very sad to hear of this news and we hope the best for his family and friends. The legend will never die.

Tekken 8 deconfirmed, SC6 Deconfirmed...RIP Masaya-san, RIP Namco

 

RIP Masaya Nakamura. You will be missed and honoured by each and every one of us for eternity. If it were not for you, the company and this series would not have existed. YOUR legend will never die.

 

This has come to down in history. There were so many ways that this man, Masaya Nakamura, has influenced so many aspects of the gaming industry.
In the early days of gaming, I could never forget about playing PAC-MAN for the Atari 5200, and this was even before I knew about the company name, "Namco". I'm sure some others here have known works that he was involved in before his own name was recognized.
For all who played and enjoyed any Namco game (no matter the genre that game is), we'll all have Masaya Nakamura to thank.

 

Damn, I don't know what to say...

R.I.P Masaya Nakamura.
