With Nintendo of America in distress, Arakawa moved the company to the Seattle area to cut down on shipping time and asked his father in-law and Nintendo CEO Hiroshi Yamauchi to develop a new game that could be retrofitted into the unsold "Radar Scope" cabinets. Yamauchi polled the company's entire talent pool for fresh game design concepts that could satisfy Nintendo of America's needs. The result was the debut of Shigeru Miyamoto as lead game designer with "Donkey Kong", which starred Mario and was released in 1981. The "Donkey Kong" conversion kits consisting of ROM chips and cabinet marquee graphics were shipped to Nintendo of America and installed on more than 2,000 "Radar Scope" machines by a small team including Arakawa and his wife.
