I bet this was a really stressful year for Iwata. Hope he was able to enjoy himself today at least
1985 Iwata, for reference.
is his hand inside his pants?

Happy Birthday, Iwata! Hopefully that you would have a great year next year!
I would like to bring up a old post from last year because I can't really forget that one.
No worries, he already got banned for that comment last year but his parody post was referring to a original post

Good on you, Mr. Iwata.
I'm an Iwata fan. I think he has kept Nintendo philosophically sound during his time as president. I don't care that they're not "winning," so long as they're making the money they need to make to keep doing what they do, and doing it well.
You've got my respect, Iwata. Hope you're around for a long time.

Happy birthday Mr. Iwata!!
Obligatory awesome Iwata facts:
-ported Pokemon Red/Blue's battle code to the Nintendo 64 for pokemon stadium without having most of the documents that detailed it in ONE WEEK
-Disassembled the programs for his Commodore PET computer by writing down the memory dumps By HAND
-Personally compressed Pokémon Gold and Silver well enough so that there was enough room left on the cartridge for the Johto AND kanto regions to be in the game (The original Pokemon Red/Blue filled the cartridge)
-programmed all of Earthbound from scratch, a feat that nobody thought could be done at the time because the game had a complex coding which was in itself a huge scripting language
Keep on being a legend

Another fun fact:
Mr. Iwata personally programmed (all by himself) the code to Dragon King: The Fighting Game...this was the prototype of a little-known game named Super Smash Bros.

Happy Birthday you magnificent man. Maybe if the day comes when he retires from being a President/CEO he'll maybe make small scale games or something.

Happy birthday Mr. Iwata!
EarthBound's text system is fucking insane.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Iwata. Here's to many more years with Nintendo and beyond.
