The Damned:
""On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer."
Whether in front of a computer monitor or a boardroom of investors, Iwata's love of games were what came first. His "Ask Iwata" series combed through the histories of Nintendo games, old and new. His humor in the Nintendo Direct videos showed a side we hardly see from company presidents. His devotion to his company was never truer when, in financial trouble, he took a pay cut to make sure his employees were safe. When his colleagues were in need, he lent his time and skill to save their games.
Why would he do all these things?
"In my heart, I am a gamer.""
