Kirby, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, and the more obscure Balloon Fight are just some of the titles that the programmer-turned-president worked on that made me begin to love gaming. Personally, I will always be grateful to Iwata-san for his work on some of the games I grew up playing. However, Iwata's tenure as President of Nintendo is the only role many young gamers know him by, but his work before heading video gaming's most iconic, and historically important company are what have enriched the lives of children and adults worldwide. Within hours of the announcement that Satoru Iwata had passed on, the gaming industry poured out in tribute to such a giant of a figure. However, Iwata-san is known to gamers worldwide as being one of us. Iwata had the brilliance, the passion, creativity, and leadership that elevated the gaming industry. Few people have the ability to reach and impact millions of lives globally, yet many lives were enriched because Nintendo's Satoru Iwata was born.
