act as a consultant, though it is unknown how much input he will have in this role. Yamauchi had a major role in the creation of the Nintendo DS, as well as the company's recent entry into the world of animation, and with the Revolution more or less finalized, it can be assumed that Yamauchi's influence will extend at least into the next generation of games. |
