This video is being discussed in another thread, but I think it deserves more exposure, 37 minutes, great work, I highly suggest you watch it.
When I saw the Satoru Iwata has passed away thread got bumped I was like WAIT WH--
....oh yeah
One thing I noticed at (1:32) he mentions Iwata thought games "weren't" for everyone. Which I thought was odd. Other then that, very informative about Iwata's career and as an individual.
R.I.P Iwata. You are missed.
That was back when he started at HAL, which is something he sought to change. And he did.
Still bums me out thinking during E3 when the internet was mocking and laughing their heads off at that Nintendo direct / announcements he must've felt real bad. Not a very nice feeling at all.
Fantastic video and I learned a few things. Quite a private man though, as we still know almost nothing about his personal life.
It's legitimately heartbreaking to think about his last few months, how low public opinion of Nintendo was at the time and how he would have went to his death with all of that negativity. Last thing he ever said to us was a promise to work harder to not disappoint us again.
I never met him, but it still feels like I lost a personal friend. I'm just thankful that his work was such a big part of my life.
Gaming Historian has some very quality content. Will check out once I get home from class.
