I have met hem last year at a game party. Got him to sign my pce game takahashi meijin no shinboukenjima (adventure island), a shooting watch (original) and a shooting watch (2008 replica).

Damn was he impressed of the fact that there are some swiss peeps out there interessting in pc engine and his other stuff..lol.

Thats for sure, he's "only" 52 now. Sure he has to find (or already did) a new job, but what will it be?

I like when he came by Gamecenter CX in the first season, and Arino asked him what happened to his hair. haha

I really want to know what he's up to next.  I guess I'll just have to keep checking his blog that Tats posted.  There is an awesome clip of him on youtube singing in front of people.  All the while TV's are playing Hudson games haha.
