There’s no mistaking that former Nintendo President Satoru Iwata was one of the most influential people in the video game industry—not just Nintendo. He helped ensure the Nintendo DS and Wii were some of the most successful consoles of all time, and he even worked on the Nintendo Switch before he sadly passed away. But it would take all day to list his many achievements, so I’m not going to do that right now.
December 6th is Satoru Iwata’s birthday, and unfortunately he isn’t around to celebrate it. Instead, let’s all take a moment to do that for him.
Check This Out: Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai made a video celebrating his friend early this year. Watch it below.
