Requiescat en pace, Satoru Iwata.
Being the revolutionary is something that is not easy to do.
This Music from Child of Light will fit this short paragraph I could commit to a legendary figure of Nintendo. I hope you play this music while you read it.
Most CEOs would back away from doing something against the standards of gaming in your time. But you still made an influential revolution in the gaming industry from graceful defeats to groundbreaking victories. While most people in the highest hierarchies don't open themselves to the public, you're one of the few examples that show up to the fans through good and bad times in your life via directs. For every business, the element of risk is a thorn not many could endure and act accordingly. Perhaps, through your intuition, you made many right calls as to which risks you are prepared to make for the better of the games you get yourself involved. As a gamer myself, I see you as the Steve Jobs of Nintendo. I may not know other CEO's that are closely similar to you, but I'm certain that your influences will be marked as a legend in the many decades to come.
Then all of a sudden, in order for Sakurai, Masuda, and Miyamoto to honor him, they will make contributions by including Iwata in their next upcoming games. Could Iwata be the next Supporting character in the next generation of Pokémon? Or Make an official Mii Fighter designed after Iwata (via trailer when he and Reggie fought during SSB4WiiU trailer last year)? Or maybe include the Kirby series to finally join Mario Kart 8?
