According to a report from Gamasutra, Nintendo of America co-founder Alan Stone has passed away. Stone died at the age of 71 on Friday due to cancer.

Stone acted as one of the co-founders for Nintendo of America in 1981, and was also key in the company’s early efforts to distribute its coin-op games in America. He later joined SEGA before becoming a board member and chief operating officer of Nanotech Media a few years ago.

Stone spoke about his time at Nintendo and more during a 2013 interview:

Our deepest sympathies go out to Stone’s family.

Gamekult has a new interview up with Nintendo France’s Philippe Lavoue. Among other things, Lavoue discussed sales expectations for Switch.

Gray is currently more popular than the neon option at the moment. However, Lavoue thinks things will ultimately shift in the opposite direction.
