A Short Documentary of Late Nintendo President Satoru Iwata’s Career/Genius

Recently-passed Nintendo President Satoru Iwata meant a lot to the gaming community, and that’s not without good reason. Aside from being the friendly face of the House of Mario since just after the debut of the GameCube, Iwata was himself an incredible programmer and game developer responsible for many Nintendo staples.

This short documentary, Satoru Iwata’s Life Story, is an inspiring look at what a single game developer is capable of even as game development budgets and teams continue their massive expansion.
