Last week, the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) took a look at Japan’s greatest gaming salesman, Segata Sanshiro. Now for this week’s Special Wrap-Up, we’ll be taking a look at the greatest gaming salesman in the West, Kevin Butler. While he wasn’t the amazing Japanese incarnation of Chuck Norris that Segata Sanshiro was, he had his own brand of hilarious awesomeness that has yet to be matched.
