After the unexpected passing of Nintendo’s well-known CEO last year, the Game Developers Choice Awards paid tribute to Satoru Iwata with an emotional and touching cartoon shown yesterday.
The 3-minute video shows the creativity and passion of Iwata in the world of videogames, as well as the impact of his talent towards the industry and gamers.
For those who have enjoyed of his work not just as CEO at Nintendo but also as programmer and gamer, this video (made by David Hellman, Raber Umphenour, Shawne Benson, and Chris Kohler) will touch your heart.
We miss you, Iwata.
“…in my heart, I am a gamer.”
