Satoru Iwata was an immensely passionate and talented individual who wished only the best for Nintendo and games as a medium.

Iwata-san is gone?! So sudden and so sad. He has done so much for Nintendo and will be missed.

Incredibly saddened over the loss of Mr. Iwata. He was a humble, inspiring leader who challenged us all to be our best.

任天堂の社長「岩田聡」の天才っぷりがわかる逸話 – NAVER まとめ http://t.co/moP2XFpg3u ファミコンのF1レースで道の表現をラスタースクロールで実現させたのが一番印象に残っています。これを始めてみた時かなり衝撃を受けた覚えがあります。

たしかこのラスタースクロールで出来るのを思いついたのが慰安旅行か何かの旅行中でその旅行を早めに切り上げて帰ってきてすぐにこのプログラムを組んだとか言う話がありましたよね。で、それを岩田さんとの会食の時に伺ったことがあるんですが、ちょっと違うんだけどねと笑っていたのを思い出します。
