please join me in welcoming the top man
at Nintendo worldwide president Satoru
Iwata it’s the kind of news you wish was
fake but sadly Satoru Iwata has passed
away
welcome to watchmojo.com and today in
honor of mr. Iwata we will be counting
down our top five reasons that we will
miss him for this list will be going
through mr. iwata’s numerous
contributions to the gaming community
we’ll also be talking about the things
that made us here at WatchMojo and
gamers everywhere such big fans of not
just his work but the man himself mr.
Iwata and mr. e wada Oh number 5
Nintendo some disassembly required it
doesn’t so much compute things as argue
about things in a strictly logical
black-and-white fashion we’re starting
this list back in a time when disco was
supposedly inducing a fever mr. Iwata
always had a passion for technology so
he started working on computers in the
1970s however no one could predict that
this would lead him to becoming the
president of one of the biggest if not
the biggest gaming company in the world
in an attempt to understand a PC called
the Commodore PE T mister you wanted did
the only thing that seemed logical
he took it apart this came in handy when
he and his friends got together and
created a development team you may have
heard of how laboratory in 1980 because
of their love for video games
number four the fantasy land of mystery
whatas Nintendo Direct hello this is
Satoru Iwata from Nintendo people assume
that creating video games has to be the
most fun job in the history of the world
thought you were good at this man
watching mister you wanta via Nintendo
Direct pretty much solidified that
assumption this video service started in
2011 and it was a way for gamers to get
updates and information on what was
going on in in Tendo actually no new
mario game today
what and if we go by mr. iwata’s videos
Nintendo looks exactly like the fantasy
land you dream about as a child hey
there’s the Muppets representing him and
his crew for e3 2015
there’s his fascination with bananas
there’s an all-out brawl with Reggie
fils-aime there’s the year of Luigi no
one had as much fun with Nintendo as
mystery wat da da Khalil you know
something of the high stakes like that
even told I’m us number 3 owning up to
your failures my bad
we’ve all heard the grievances that
gamers had with Nintendo come on Reggie
give us mother 3 this greatly affected
Nintendo during their fiscal year over
2013 and into 2014 as their profits
declined by 30 percent we’re used to
seeing the dreadful word layoffs when
something like this happens but mr.
Iwata stunned the gaming community with
his decision to take an astonishing 50%
pay cut to help his company out of its
financial hole while members of the
board okay 20 to 30 percent cut I
deserve that he not only said that he
felt responsible for Nintendo’s poor
business during that time but apologized
for it and vowed to see it through
thankfully Nintendo bounced back and
mystery watch’s noble gesture was not
made in vain
number two developing into presidency
this year owatta has a longer history
with programming for Nintendo than being
its president 22 years to be exact
before taking over the company in 2002
so what has he done as a programmer for
starters many thank him for earthbound
since he rewrote thousands of hours of
code to get the game up to speed he’s
also responsible for the Kanto region
being in pokemon gold and silver since
he felt gamers deserved more than just
the johto region he’s had his hands in
the Smash Brothers franchise the Kirby
franchise so essentially he spent years
creating some of Nintendo’s most beloved
games and building one hell of a resume
before becoming president well played
sir well played thanks very much thank
you very much before we reach the final
level let’s go p– up some extra coins
with these honorable mentions
lene Guttman number one heart of a gamer
if there’s anything that properly
conveys mr. iwata’s love for nintendo
and the gaming industry it’s his 2005
keynote speech for the Game Developers
Conference throughout the speech he
talked about his start with programming
number based games and pocket
calculators and his love for video games
pong was the first one he ever played it
was pong and I loved it
with 35 years of experience we know he
was good at what he did but it’s the
opening quote for this speech that shows
that he not only enjoyed it but
cherished it all my business card I am a
corporate president in my mind I am a
game developer but in my heart I am a
gamer he may have been a programmer a
businessman and a company president but
first and foremost he was a gamer like
so many of us every one of us here today
is identical in the most important way
each one of us has the heart of the
gamer thank you very much for your

memory of a great individual in the
