Artist's commentary
i put my feelings in a picture
I think many of us can agree that his death affects us deeply and significantly. Although we never met him, his vision for the gaming industry has led to the creation of beautiful games for us to play. Man, we can’t thank him enough for all the smiles he planted in the world.
Thank you, Mr. Iwata.
(PS. I included characters of games I personally very much enjoyed in my childhood. You may wonder why Mario is the only one shrouded in a shadow. It’s not that the other characters aren’t sad, but out of the characters I included, he is the oldest character that has been created under Mr. Iwata’s care. I feel like, as a character, his sadness would be even more profound, thus the reason for this depiction.)
