RIP Nakamura-san! Thank you for giving me so many memories trying to out beat those ghosts to all the dots and double thank you for creating a company that has and still continues to create games I enjoy playing!

Very unfortunate but it was expected due to his age. Thank for having an impact on our child/adulthood. You will be missed.

RIP

A respectful bow to the man. And following that, an honest question. Does anyone know how the company's name morphed from Nakamura Manufacturing to the Namco that's now famous?

RIP Nakamura-san, I think it's safe to say you were indirectly responsible for my taste in games ("Tales of Symphonia," "Baten Kaitos," and "Xenosaga I" largely cemented my obsession with JRPGs).
