Not many CEOs these days are liked, let alone loved, but Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata was one of those few that absolutely no one had a problem with. He was loveable, huggable, slow to anger, the opposite of greedy, and humble enough to impose a pay cut upon HIMSELF when the company had a bad year. Because he was too good for this world, he passed on at the unfair age of 55.
Iwata was also the most public of Nintendo’s bosses, hosting a series of roundtables called “Iwata Asks” where the veteram directors of Nintendo would discuss the making of their newest games and the classic games of their past. A lot of previously unknown facts about Mario, Zelda and other series were revealed thanks to these sessions. After Iwata’s death, a book collection of some of these roundtables, coupled with personal recollections of Iwata from those who knew him, was published in Japan. It’s a testament to Iwata’s positive legacy that the book is also being translated into English to be published here.
