The legendary Nintendo music composer has made a Balloon Fight Remix as a moving tribute to his friend and colleague
There comes a time in many original NES games lives where it is time for a proper remake. Well, Balloon Fight released in Japan in 1985, making it one of the oldest titles in Satoru Iwata’s classic library of programmed games, and Jason Capp thinks it would be a great homage to the brilliant game designer and late president of Nintendo.
At the heart of Iwata’s tenure at Nintendo was a philosophy of listening.
In 2015, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata sadly passed away. Dear friend and EarthBound creator Shigesato Itoi compiled his musings as a tribute.
One of many well deserved tributes as I'm sure we'll see more. Of course, there's no denying the fact that Iwata is worthy of every last one of them too.
That's really cool. They should put him in SSB as a Mii costume for everyone as free DLC.
It actually made me emotional when I heard it
That's great to hear.
