My favourire quote of him is:
"On the card, I am a CEO. In my mind, I am a game developer, but In my heart, I am a gamer."
Always loved it.
yep, that's what I was going forI really like the back of the card because of the Yoshi wool world feeling and banners just fit nice too.
I spent way too much time trying to get the right look of various types of fabric and yarn, with seams and sewing lines and tiles and bump maps etc., but it was worth itThe final image looks amazing! Love the fabric/yarn texture it has all over the card. Thank you so much guys for doing this and putting all the images together and everyone who contributed. I'm 1000% Iwata will love it.
I live like 1/2 a mile from Nintendo HQ. I know exactly where this is.
Below are the final images sent to Cheesemeister (these are slightly compressed, the ones sent to him are not). If everything goes according to plan, they should be printed tomorrow (I sent them a bit late for that today), in time for a delivery later this week.
Changes since last update:
Added various greetings and personal messages suggested by GAFfers.
Added late Miis and realigned Miis.
Cosmetic repairs.
Thanks to everyone who contributed!
Special thanks to:

Cosmonaut X for contributing central ideas as well as several key layout concepts and pieces of art that made the final design what it is!
Chaos17 for contributing design ideas and content that helped fill out the layout of the final image.
BGBW for collecting and ordering all the Miis submitted in this thread.
L~A for making the original thread about Iwata's operation, without which this project would not have started.
4chan/v/ for the inspiration!
(I personally do believe that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)
Last minute contributors who suggested the text for the personal blessings.
Anyone else who took initiative and helped along the way!
And of course, Cheesemeister , who will be taking care of printing and delivery in Kyoto!
Wow, that's truly fantastic, way better than what I was picturing in my head! Really, wonderful job you did there. Looks like you included the various ideas that popped up in the thread (there's even the mosaic I suggested, though the end result is much different... and much better imo).
Really nice job
Though I don't really care if we never learn whether Iwata actually get the card, I hope he'll leave a little message on Twitter or something.
