It's sad that this is such a rare, almost taboo thing for corporate executives to even consider. They'd still make tons of money and be wealthy and well-off even with their salaries cut in half, or even to a quarter, or even to 1/10000th in some cases. They could still live well and keep employees, instead they'd rather screw over the little guys and keep as much for themselves as possible. I respect Iwata so much that he never let corporate greed corrupt him or make him forget that he's a gamer. He's unique in that way because he was never looking to climb the corporate ladder, he was promoted simply because people respected and admired him. He was never in it to get rich, he did it because he wanted to make games fun for everyone.

To me that seems anti consumer because your locking the ability to play online behind a pay wall, it's a clear no brainer that this is anti consumer. No one should ever have to pay for an online subscription which should Infact be free considering the fact that we buy their games and their consoles. Their is no real need to charge people for an online subscription if you are already profiting from game sales and console sales. To me that is clearly corporate greed.

Why am i arguing? you don’t even know the definition of a toy is.

"On my business card, I am a corporate President. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer." - Satoru Iwata 2005. 1 year ago, I never heard of this man, I never heard of his achievements. I only heard of Nintendo and its line of games. But after watching this video and hearing about what he had done, I cried because of his accomplishments and most importantly, for building my childhood. My first console that I have ever owned in my life was a Nintendo DS Lite. If it wasn't for his decision and his belief, I don't think I would ever heard of Nintendo as it is not a big company back in my home country. I don't think I would ever get into Mario, or Zelda, or some of the great games we all have on the consoles he's responsible for. I currently own a New 3DS XL, Wii U, and Switch, all of his accomplishments before he passed. If it weren't for him, I don't think I would have these consoles right now and build up my gaming life. So thank you so much Mr. Iwata, even though I never met you, you are now my inspiration to be a leader. a friend to others, and a visionary. I would like to borrow your quote to use for my team. EDH8900

Tomorrow marks 1 year since the death of Mr. Iwata May he rest in peace. Thank you for everything, Mr. Iwata. Thank you for making my childhood better.

I watch this video over again when I am having bad anxiety and anxiety attacks and it helps me calm down my mind and think of something else. I’ve probably watched this 7 times since it was posted.

I had drifted away from Nintendo during Iwata’s tenure as president of Nintendo. In fact, the moment he took over, was the moment I had made the switch to the dark side (i.e. Sony). But there was something special during his time at the helm that I didn’t appreciate until after the fact. Steering Nintendo through some of its hardest times; the Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U. He really was a gamer at heart. You could tell that from everything he did at Nintendo. I now realize that, without Iwata, Nintendo would have likely lost what makes it special: making memories for the young and young at heart.

I just re-watched this today, and there is a very important detail that Iwata deserves even more praise for then you appropriately gave him in this lovely tribute (no knock on you Mr. Caruso, as I've watched this video many times, and only noticed it today). When it came to Iwata's work on Balloon Fight, Earthbound, and the (accurate) comment that he may have been more talented at making the Famicom/NES do what he wants than the people who designed it, his work on the compression algorithm for Pokemon was even more impressive in a way. His talent at programming any 6502-based machine could easily have been just passed off as "well, he had a Commodore PET, so that's what he knows, and the chip wasn't popular in Japan before the Famicom/NES so of course he's uniquely good at programming that CPU! The Game Boy (and GB Color), on the other hand, have a CPU that is similar to the Zilog Z80. It's a custom design by Sharp, but while it's missing some features of the Z80, it's quite similar. Presumably, at least some of the developers on the Pokemon team had experience with the Z80, given how popular it was in Japan. But the person who figured out how to cram the legacy game data into the small cartridge was still Iwata. That blows my mind!

This guy was a legit hero for the gaming industry. I think he deserves a memorial.

I'm not gonna lie, Shigesato Itoi's eulogy literally brought my to tears. There's something so real and visceral about it that I can't put into words, but that resonates in the deepest part of my heart and soul. I'm not abusing the term "literally" either. I recently lost my best friend and I would give anything to see him again. His words genuinely brought tears to my eyes, in the best and worst possible way.

By the time I reached the end of the video, I thought I was getting hiccups. Turns out I was crying. I haven't cried that hard since the end of Marley and me.

I'm so proud to have been a nintendo kid my whole life, I'll always have a special place in my heart for the works of Satoru and all of the outstanding Nintendo employees that made our childhoods awesome.

Same, except I knew who Iwata was.

I'm very positive that by the time Satoru Iwata became the CEO of Nintendo, his dad (Hiroshi Iwata) was proud of how his son turned out.

When I'm parting with a friend, regardless of the circumstances, I find it best to just say: 'See you later. We'll meet again'. After all, we're friends. That's right, nothing unusual about it. I'll see you later. You went on a trip far, far away, even though it was planned for many years from now. You wore your best outfit and said, 'Sorry for the short notice,' though you didn't say it out loud. You always put yourself last, after you'd finish helping everyone else. You were so generous as a friend that this trip might be your very first selfish act... I still can't grasp what has happened. It feels like I could still get a light-hearted email asking me out to lunch at any moment after you made sure lunch wouldn't disrupt my schedule... of course you can invite me out whenever you want! I'll invite you too. So, for now. Let's plan on meeting again! You can call me up whenever you like, and I'll give you a call, too. I still have a lot to talk to you about. And, if I come up with any particularity good ideas, I'll let you know! So, let's meet again. No... I suppose we're already meeting... Right here. Right now. - Shigesato Itoi ...Wow

Yeah, it's an honorable Japanese thing. The CEO of Japan Airlines cut his salary so much that he was actually making less than many of his employees for a while! He ate in the same cafeteria, used public transportation, and had a modest condo/apartment. And like Kalmon salmon said, many American CEO's usually just come in, take an exorbitant amount of money, destroy everything, lay tons of employees off, then go to another company and repeat the process. They don't even bother connecting with anyone or trying to understand the company, they just think it's all about fudging the numbers to try and please the shareholders. There is no passion or compassion! And that's why this made me cry... Some of these Japanese people have so much passion and compassion that the west has really lost over the years! And it's really sad that Iwata died relatively young while many of these scammers live it up and die late in life!

I finally found a role model. A man who is committed to his craft and puts all of his passion into his work as well being an exemplary leader. My regret is I only started to think highly of him, after he's gone... :'( Rest In Peace Iwata-san

@@Nolan-xc3yl what? I don't understand what you mean. I think autocorrect or text to speech didn't type that out right. if it's okay could you retype your comment so we can understand?

Used to be addict on MMORPG/ grindy game genres. games like granblue and fgo , until I got a job and my time to play is not enough to grind anymore .. played earthbound and i longed for more nintendo games like harvest moon. Feels so good to play them because i am not forced to play just to catch up with the events but to enjoy it

holy crap. I cried at the end of this video because that man was a LEGEND. (not joking)
