Hip Tanaka’s Dedication to the late Satoru Iwata

The passing of Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata has hit a lot of gaming fans hard, but has also inspired a plethora of dedications and tributes to the man who was known by so many as a kind  man and the heart of Nintendo Japan. One of those dedications comes from none other than Metroid composer Hirokazu “Hip” Tanaka, who has created his own fitting memorial to the late Iwata in his own unique way; a cheerful chiptune piece to reflect the equally cheerful nature of the man who touched the lives of so many gamers of our generation.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Iwata. You’ve had an impact on all the facets of the gaming community and will be greatly missed.
