Ó
Two former Nintendo of America (NoA) execs - Minoru Arakawa and Howard Lincoln - are set to receive Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences. The awards will be given in recognition of their contributions to the videogame industry.Former NoA president Arakawa established Nintendo's American arm in 1980. He remained with the company until 2002. Lincoln first entered the gaming industry when he was hired as a legal advisor for Nintendo in 1981. He then continued to work for the company throughout the following years.
According to EA big boss Larry Probst, "Both are pioneers whose contribution to Nintendo and to the game industry has had a profound impact on interactive entertainment. These men personify the industry's highest ideals for integrity, creativity and innovation."
Probst will be handing the awards to Arakawa and Lincoln at the DICE Summit, which takes place in Las Vegas on February 8.

Despite my lack of interest in Nintendo now, I can't deny how they managed to help evolve video gaming into what it is today.
