That hit me way harder than I thought it would. Heartbreaking and really well done. Still feels like a friend has past away...

That was very nicely done.
I still get tears in my eyes when I think about his passing. He was responsible for giving me so many times of joy.

Same here. I didn't thought that I would cry, and yet here I am, wiping tears off my face

Out of all the amazing people that have passed over the last year or so... Iwata's death still hurts the most

Beautiful tribute. Somewhat ironic seeing this at GDC, considering his keynote at GDC a few years back about how developers should value their own work was kind of poorly received.
I love that Iwata truly believed that games were for everyone, and his unparalleled drive to share games with everyone through the power of joy and love for one another. There will never be another like him.

He must never be forgotten, Iwata's contributions to this industry are invaluable.

Oh crap.
I'm tearing up at work... damn it still hurts.
But it's also at GDC where he gave this career defining quote

For real. People were audibly laughing at some of the stuff he said, as if he'd lost his mind. I bet they feel stupid now.

To say that was well-made is an understatement.
What?

Do you realise that Nintendo DS and Wii, the most popular Nintendo devices and gaming devices in general, are basically results of Iwata's actions?
The Wii and DS were such great systems with vastly different and simple input devices. They seemed to get it right, they wanted to make games accessible and provide new experiences.
Till today I cannot understand how the 3DS and Wii U happened. Both systems do not make the slightest bit of sense if you listen to what Iwata preached in the years before.

I could, and probably should, start disagreeing with you left and and right but this just isn't the thread for that man...
His legacy speaks to all his actions. You bringing up 2 consoles that you feel don't make sense to you has no way of tarnishing that. Not here dude.
Nice tribute, love the art and music. We will always remember you Iwata! Your legacy will always live on!
Not surpised coming from you, so good job, you definitely should discuss this here, in a tribute thread. Good job!

Wish there was a way to feel that presence again "directly".
In a sense, I feel Miitomo might've been just that.
Thanks for reminding us what games are all about.
