is he getting....younger?

look at him at 23 and then compare it to 44

People always say this but he just grew his hair out and dressed differently. Skin care is also key to looking young.

I remember seeing his Kid Icarus developer videos and he dressed in those same floral shirts they seem to distribute to Japanese men when they reach their 40s.

Never thought I'd say this but this thread is making me nostalgic for 90s and early 00s fashion.

This thread is a normcore paradise, both the outfits, as well as the office decor and electronics.

Here are Ion Storm's founders. Tom Hall, John Romero, Warren Spector:

Great thread, it would be wonderful if this stuff was being cataloged officially somewhere. I wonder if I have any early Treyarch photos laying around.

The shots of Cerny are especially a hoot, I meet with him a few times a year for work, well see if I have the nerve to mention any of them to him next time.

I knew about the myth of the Romero hair, but I don't think I'd experienced it until I saw some of the pics in this thread.
 
Two pictures of Masahiro Sakurai taken back in 1999-2000

They're both sourced from Shigesato Itoi's website. Which should contain countless other photos of Nintendo employees.

The latter is particularly notable, as it's sourced from an interview around the launch of the original Smash Bros that mentions "Dragon King: The Fighting Game", the original concept for said game.

The western audience wouldn't get to learn about it until 2008, with the Iwata Asks interview for Smash Bros Brawl.
20 years later and he looks almost exactly the same.
