    I'm impressed nobody, even Nintendo, noticed.

    Shouldn't Nintendo be celebrating or something?

    I don't think 120 is a particularly significant anniversary number.  10, 20, 25, 30, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200?

    Maybe they'll do something on the date of their actual 120th anniversary, which is in September according to the wiki.

    Today? I knew they were formed in 1889, but not the exact day.

    Wait...so this guy is over 100 yo? and even if he was the president since 1889, that would imply that he was at least over 30 at the time...  That seems almost impossible.
