Creatures Inc. president and longtime Nintendo composer/sound engineer Hirokazu Tanaka posted a new arrangement of Balloon Trip music from Balloon Fight, as a way of honoring late Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata. The two worked together on Balloon Fight. Even though the circumstances are sad, the Balloon Trip music is always cheerful and welcome!

Dear Mr. Satoru Iwata,  Thank you for all you have done for all of us. We will always remember you. May you rest in peace.

Here’s one of my favorite moments of him from E3 2014. Thank you for always doing fun things like this for your fans and making them smile. You will be missed greatly.

Thank you, Mr. Iwata, for all that you have done for me as well as many other fans.  Your hard work has personally helped me through many hardships I faced in life, and it is with much sadness to see you go.  Thank you so much, Mr. Iwata, for everything you contributed to the gaming industry–your fans are forever grateful.

im crying all over again

Sadly Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has passed away. Let us remember him for the great work he did as both a game developer and as a president who led Nintendo through some difficult times and even opted to halve his own salary instead of laying off employees. He will be missed by many and his contributions to gaming will not be forgotten.

Thank you for everything. 

Just some of the classic video games Satoru Iwata helped program, produce or executive produce during his time with Nintendo. His legacy will forever be remembered.

“And please, don’t be sad, Everything is going to be fine.”

Thank you, Mr. Iwata.
