oh my god, Gus Rodriguez died.

Gus Rodriguez built the official Club Nintendo magazine in Latin America and also ran a show that aired on Saturday mornings on national TV during the 90s called Nintendo Manía.

I always aspired to have a job like his when I was a kid.

There are some archived episodes of his show here and there. Of course it was 90s as heck.

Nintendo has never had a formal Nintendo of Mexico division besides the official distributor, but if there ever was, Gus could have been a key figure on the caliber of Reggie Fils-Aime.

So long, my dear Nintendo Maniaco.

For some reason the video I linked earlier on this thread doesn’t seem to work for me, so here’s another episode from 1996.
