After months of having *many* Chrome tabs open, Josh (Boney) has completed research on the background of Super Mario Land's producer and director, Gunpei Yokoi and Satoru Okada respectively, and so alongside Andrew (Gilly), the two finally sit down to go over an extended look at two important figures from Nintendo's R&D1 Team.
