Very sad news. A true hacker. Started programming on a programmable calculator, with which he made games for his classmates. After he got himself a Commodore PET, he went to Nintendo claiming he can make games for them, and so he did.Edit: I found a PET quote from Iwata Asks. http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/creators/4/0 > Iwata: Disassembling! Wow, that really brings back memories.
