Satoru Iwata has passed away

Recommended Posts

I'm very much in the "don't know much about him" camp, but from reading about him it certainly sounds like he was a pretty special guy. I was particularly wowed to find that he programmed Earthbound, a game I hold very dear to my heart.

 

RIP

Here's Satoru Iwata making an appearance on Game Center CX to talk about himself and Balloon Fight and generally be very human.

From the little I know, he was important in Earthbound, Pokémon Gold and Silver, as well as Super Smash Bros. I really need to play Earthbound.

Only 55 years old. An unfortunate time for Nintendo to lose him, too, with the NX being revealed next year and their attempts to transition into mobile games.
