Oh, here we go again
Thanks OP. Will watch.
That Itoi quote still gets me real bad
It had some interesting bits - but i found it mostly sensationalized and inaccurate.
1. Before I even saw the video, I'm like i bet it's going to spend more time talking about Baloon Fight (which Iwata helped port to the NES) as his opus magnum, and failing to divulge him spearheading the touch generations line and the creation of Brain Age.
2. Video claims that people at Nintendo were walking around in awe and calling Iwata a super programmer. That's false, that comes from a Japanese Melee interview where the interviewer created that moniker.
3. Video claims Iwata was walking around calling Miyamoto his rival. Like what? When? They were on completely different ends of the spectrum.
4. Video erroneously states GameFreak was developing Pokemon Stadium - which they didn't. It was Miyamoto's EAD game.
Finished watching it. Very well done. Got a lump in my throat every time I heard Iwata speak.
If I may criticize one aspect from a creative/editing perspective, it's the way this guy got to the part of Iwata's death. He gets straight to the point, and does so in almost a detached sort of way. There's no build up or anything, no appropriate somber music leading up to it. Could have been handled a lot better with more emotional impact.
Other than that though, great video.
I completely disagree with you. I liked how it wasn't emotionally manipulating. It didn't force the tears. It is why I liked it so much, it was very respectful to the event and very respectful to the man himself - it is his achievements and personality that mattered, not his departure.
Yeah. I'm not sure if it's just the picture, but he looked worse here than he did before.OMG, I didn't saw the picture at 32:18 until now, it must be the last picture of Iwata before he died, he looks like an entire different person. It's heartbreaking... T_T

Yeah, I'm subscribing that Youtube channel to watch their other videos later.
