Man, what horrible news to wake up to. Iwata was a very personable man & the perfect choice to lead Nintendo, but what people forget is that he was also a fantastic programmer. He recoded Earthbound pretty much from the ground up, without which the game probably wouldn't have even been released, much less become the cult favourite it is today. He wrote the battle system for Pokemon Stadium on the N64, converting it from the Game Boy by hand. Most impressive of all, it was Satoru Iwata who invented a way of compressing data so efficiently that they were able to include both Kanto & Johto on the Pokemon Gold/Silver cartridges (something Game Freak hadn't originally planned). We've lost a true leading light in the video game world today. I see people online saying about how "we'll never see a CEO like Iwata again". I seriously hope that isn't the case I'll leave the last word to Mr Iwata himself: "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."
