Cała branża żegna prezesa Nintendo
Kilka godzin temu otrzymaliśmy smutną wiadomość dotyczącą śmierci Satoru Iwaty. Cała nasza branża niemal jednym głosem postanowiła pożegnać wyjątkowego wizjonera.
Satoru Iwata przejął stery Nintendo w 2002 roku zastępując pełniącego tę funkcję od 1949 roku Hiroshiego Yamauchiego. To Iwata rozpoczął nową erę w historii firmy i był odpowiedzialny za wiele udanych i wyjątkowych projektów korporacji. Krótko po zajęciu miejsca na stołu prezesa i dyrektora generalnego filmy, przedsiębiorstwo odnotowało 41% wzrost sprzedaży (koniec 2002 roku).
Wizjoner przez lata był twarzą firmy, prezentował nowinki techniczne, przedstawiał produkcje i zapowiadał nadciągające hity.
Informacja o śmierci Satoru Iwaty to bardzo smutna wiadomość i wielu przedstawicieli naszej branży postanowiło pożegnać wielkiego twórcę:
ゲーム業界の発展に多大な貢献をされた岩田さんのご冥福をお祈りします。

Nintendo's a business and a brand, but Nintendo lives in my heart, and that's not a thing I would say about any company. Ever. Not ever.

帰国直後にこのニュースを知り、言葉を失いました。 岩田さんには大変お世話になりました。 「任天堂ダイレクト」に「社長が訊く」は勿論、昨年年始には貴重な時間を割いて頂き、様々お話を聞いて頂いたりしました。 ご冥福をお祈り致します。 http://t.co/HE24Eg4Ex9

“Learning the news immediately after coming home, I had no words. I owe much to Iwata-san. Listening to “Nintendo Direct” or “Iwata Asks” since the beginning of last year, we learned so many valuable stories. I will pray for his soul.” Nintendo is too polite to say it so I will: fuck cancer. Gamers everywhere have lost a great champion and leader with Iwata's passing.
