Satoru Iwata has passed away on July 11th 2015, when he was only 55 years old.

He was a legend in the industry, not just as the president of Nintendo but as one of the most talented programmers of his time (being able to compress Pokemon G+S to fit Kanto, among other amazing features) but most of all, he was a gamer. He knew how important games were as a medium and he dedicated his life to making them. From Pokemon to Earthbound, he helped make these games the childhood favorites they were.

He was the antithesis if every CEO; one who didn't get mind getting his hands dirty. He would gladly act like an idiot with Miyamoto and Reggie to bring smiles to everyone. He opposed many business decisions proposed by shareholders to keep Nintendo what it really was. Who knows where the company will go after this? 

That doesn't matter now though. What matters is that we all remember Iwata and his legacy. The smiles that he has brought to us and the person he was, the company he helped grow and the games he helped make. 

Thank you Iwata-san!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
