Former Iwata Family Residence, Hirosaki, 2
WAIT A MINUTE.
IS THIS WHY-???!!!!
AFHJLAGHLDG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Satoru Iwata started in games as a programmer with HAL Laboratory in 1980, and passed away 35 years later as president of Nintendo. He has credits in 507 games on MobyGames, but over his entire career, he programmed just four Mario games.
They were all golf games.
(The Famicom Disk System games are Golf: Japan Course and Golf: US Course; they came out between Golf and NES Open Tournament Golf and share elements of both.)

Le jour du Mardi Gras, je suis allé à Binche, ville wallonne de Belgique, pour assister au Carnaval. J'en ai profité pour visiter le très intéressant Mumask (Musée international du Carnaval et du Masque). Ici l'aile des masques et costumes du Monde.
masque de guérison ''iwata'' - kamayura, Mato Grosso, Brésil, fin XXe s.
ceinture de chaman - magar, Népal, fin XIXe s.
masque-costume de démon Kohäkë pour la Fête des Morts, "Oyne" - koubéwa, Amazonie
masque-cagoule de guérison, poisson - kamayura, Mato Grosso, Brésil, fin XXe s.
masque pour la danse hudoq - dayak, Bornéo, Indonésie, début XXe s.
masque de la société Ekpo - ibibio, Nigéria, début XXe s.
masque de guérison "False Face" - onondaga, état de New-York, début XXe s.
(before anything: yes, I did stay up well past midnight just to work on this. I hope the time was worth the making of this artwork!)
“Above all, video games are meant to just be one thing: Fun for everyone.” - Satoru Iwata
It's been 9 years already. Thank you for everything, Iwata-san. May you and your legacy still live on <3
Peach is wearing a black version of her normal dress, while sporting her alternative haircut from the first intermission of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Zelda is wearing a black version of her Breath of the Wild dress, which is a reference to when Iwata was alive during the development of the game, as well as the "Satori Mountain" location in said game.
Gardevoir, Delphox and Zero Suit Samus are all wearing originally designed dresses, although Delphox's dress is (very loosely) based on male Byleth's design from Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
Palutena is wearing a black version of her dress from Kid Icarus: Uprising, but with added mesh over her shoulders to make it less suggestive. She is also wearing a magatama bead on her neck, which makes sense given that she's a goddess. I actually decided at the last minute on drawing this to include her here because she was announced to appear in Smash Bros. at E3 2014, where we also got a snippet of Reggie Fils-Aime's and Iwata's Miis fighting each other on Palutena's Temple.
Made with Aseprite v1.3.7. Permission is not required to use, but credit is highly appreciated. Thank you!
Shy of a decade on, Link and KV pay respects to one of the most influential people in gaming. Perhaps this place isn't meant as a memory to his legacy, but for many the parallels are too big to ignore... Rest in Peace, Legend. KV's Tears of the Kingdom Logs #69
