Sad to see the myth about Gunpei Yokoi still being repeated. Consult the fantastic book "Nintendo Magic" - he was not blamed at all over the VB within Nintendo. In fact, Yamauchi considered him practically family and their relationship was "like father and son." (That's a direct quote). They would often share family meals.
On top of this, Yokoi had in fact already decided on and announced his plans to retire from Nintendo to pursue other things /before/ the Virtual Boy was even out.
Let the myth die as the sensationalised nonsense it is.
@SmartNickname It's so obsolete I adapted Life is Strange's first episode to it earlier this year and several hundred people have been enjoying it ever since. https://lifeis2d.itch.io/life-is-2-d
