Happy birthday to the legendary Satoru Iwata! The man who didn't just level up Nintendo, but redefined gaming itself. From bringing us beloved classics like Kirby and EarthBound, to revolutionizing how we play with Wii Sports—your creativity knew no bounds.Your famous quote "On my business card, I'm a corporate president; in my mind, I'm a game developer; but in my heart, I'm a gamer," still resonates deeply today. Thanks for reminding us that fun is serious business—and doing it all while being named one of Barron's top CEOs worldwide. Here's hoping you're celebrating somewhere epic: power-ups included!
