Remembering the rare talent of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata | The Verge
I think this article definitely does the best out of all the ones I've read of really showing what a great guy Iwata was.
He wasn't just a business man put in charge of a video game division of a larger company. He was a genius programmer, a game designer and a game player.
Even as I became a jaded 20-something and thought Nintendo "was just making games for kids" Iwata's sincerity and desire to make great games broke through to me.
This sucks and I'll miss him
