"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." - Satoru Iwata R.I.P Satoru Iwata You were one of those lights that shined the brightest, in my childhood, and now. And I'll never forget you!
This was basically the Triforce of Nintendo. I really miss these days, today no one in Nintendo does Anything. Iwata and Reggie really understood the audience, they had to be what the people sees on them, and yet they had fun!! I'm not sad because they're gone, I'm happy because it happened and I lived those moments. Iwata was the greatest leader ever.
This is what makes Nintendo unique , they can laugh at themselves with simple things like this , they teach us there is no age for videogames , videogames are art .
Honestly, this game reveal is severely underappreciated. Whether you were a fan of zero or not, this is reveal is so classic Nintendo. And the fact that it's Iwatas last Nintendo product reveal makes it that much more special. What a moment in history. I hope we all look back on this reveal like LoZ twilight princess' in '04.
I just imagine these three if they had a sit com would have character archetypes. Iwatas the straight guy, Reggies the ever lovable jock, and Shigeru is the creative/fun guy.
Iwata-san did so much for the fans and for Nintendo. He truly cared about the company and for the fans' happiness. Thank you for everything, Satoru Iwata.
Well now that Iwata is gone Nintendo seems to be very anti consumer and not really caring about their fans. While I do like some of the modern Nintendo games some of them release unfinished and get free updates later. The thing that disappointed me the most was the Mario 3D all stars collection. Nintendo didn’t even try or bother to remaster the games. Although this will never happen say hypothetically Iwata comes back to life and he sees the 3d all stars collection, he would be so disgusted by how lazy the collection is.
"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." - Satoru Iwata R.I.P You will forever be remembered
Satoru Iwata was such a great dude. The guy stood by his work and took a 50% pay cut so that he wouldn't have to fire his staff. Meanwhile, other companies like Activision-Blizzard are firing employees en masse while giving 15 million dollar bonuses to CEOs like Bobby Kotick. RIP Mr. Iwata; you were truly a great man and a true gamer at heart.
You know why they did the puppet thing? So that nobody would see a man like Iwata in a state of sickness and decay. It makes this whole intro a lot sadder.
Miyamoto was a fan of shows like Thunderbirds. However, Star Fox's animal aesthetic was more up the alley of someone like Jim Henson rather than Gerry Anderson. And, wouldn't you know it? The Jim Henson Company is precisely who made the puppets seen here.
Although I'm late, I'd like to say this much. When Mario went to Peach's castle to have his cake..... When Pit soared back through the skies when Hades was defeated.... When Shulk went to go greet a new world..... When Ness defeated the demon of giygas and escorted Paula home.... When Lucas stood in the remains of Claus and put everything on the line and pulled the needle....... When Toon Link put the last blow in Ganondorf's head..... When Kirby rode off into the sun on a wheelie.... When Ninten set home off Mt Itoi..... When Donkey kong and Diddy rode off K rool.... When Yoshi and the stork returned the bros to their rightful owners... When Olimar set out to go back to Hocotate to save the planet.... When Red stood in the halls of fame waiting for his next challenger.... When Mario,Luigi, and Bowser had finally killed Fawful..... When Pikachu defeated Mew and saved the PokePark..... When we watched K.K. perform and sat under our tree...... When the StarFox crew flew off into the galaxy after saving the lylat system.... When Mario looked up to say farewell to the old galaxy and hi to the new.... When Link finally reunited with Zelda.... When Samus took off her suit for the first time..... When Doc Luis went to go say farewell to Mac.... When our favorite plant aliens sang one last song before going to meet their new leader...... When Captain Falcon raced down the Big Blue..... When Blue went to face his rival...... When Starfy defeated Mashtooth..... When our favorite air fighter went to pop one last balloon..... When Chibi Robo helped complete the retro gallery.... When Olimar met fate with the Pikmin and rebuilt his ship..... When Luigi laughed at Mario stuck in a vent..... When the Octarian menace rushed out of inkopolis.... When Count Bleck finally found his love..... When Isaac set out to save the world from Saturos and Menardi... When the Shepherds defeated Grima... When the whole crew teamed up to save the universe...... He Was There......... RIP iwata.
R.I.P Iwata. I still miss you. Thankyou for the Nintendo switch and for Super smash bros and Earthbound and for making Pokémon go huge and everything you’ve done for us. You were a true hero. Nothing can erase the amazing things you’ve done.
Spike Riley You haven't seen him hassle with backstage shenanigans on the Muppet Show, or have to put up with an earmuff salesman named Grover. Both of which can be seen on TH-cam. Not to mension The Muppet Show is gonna be getting a comeback, This Fall on ABC! It's time to get things started.
Iwata was the only cooperate executive that wanted to have fun and wanted other people to have fun and this just shows that he wanted to make people laugh even when he was very ill satoru you will never be forgotten in the many hearts of Nintendo fans forever
You were such an important part of my childhood and an icon of not only Nintendo, but for any aspiring programmers who are inspired by your amazing programming feats. You will be sorely missed, Iwata. Until we see you again.
A lot of complainers in the comment section are saying "Nintendo died with Iwata" but in reality he didn't and never did. If they actually did then how come Nintendo paid tribute to him in the Super Mario Bros credit scene, also, Nintendo is still alive and they have a bright future. The Super Mario Bros movie, Super Nintendo World, tears of the kingdom and more future switch games to come out and considering the fact that the switch sold over 125.62 million units They still have a brighter future ahead of themselves.

This is the Nintendo I'll love for ever. In the hardest times with Wii U always with you, Mr. Iwata. Now you're gone and feels like Nintendo lost its magic.
This was the best E3 presentation ever. I know Star Fox Zero didn't do great, but holy shit, the charm and final send off for Iwata this year was just amazing.
They better close this with Statler and Waldorf with Cranky Kong, heckling the thing! "Well boys, it's finally over?" "The E3 Digital Event?" "No, Nintendo's career in video games!" "DOH-HOHOHOHOHOHO!"
This was a truly special event. Nintendo's charm back then was unmatched both in software, ui, games, events, etc. I hope they do stuff like this with their next console, get back to Nintendo DS, Wii, 3DS era charm levels and keep Switch speed
0:17- boi Also RIP Mr. Iwata I hope he still races over the mushroom city up in Rainbow Road watching how proud he is and how proud we are of him :) Every like means every heart to Satoru Iwata!
@@JoelOrellana Miyamoto said that Thunder Birds was the biggest inspiration for Starfox. So this trailer is referencing that Thunder Birds uses puppets.
I think this is what Nintendo has been missing in recent years. Don't get me wrong, their business practices have never really changed (they're actually better in recent years about their content and such.) But this affable, willing to put their face at the forefront and poke fun at themselves sort of presentation style was much more personal and intimate than what we currently have. I mean, Nintendo directs have always been glorified ad reels, but bits like these are why we used to watch them. Now, I'd rather watch the highlights of each direct.
Reggie is intimidating even in puppet form.
I agree.

RIP Iwata . It makes me sad , that the last thing we heard from him was an apology for Nintendo's E3 :(

That is sad. I am sad😞😭
+JoshGaming64 He didn't want us to see him in his sickly state and worry us. It makes more and more sense the more I think about.
Im watching this after hearing the news that reggie retired. Thanks for the good time, Iwata, Reggie, and Miyamoto.
I cri every time ;-;
Miyamoto is still here though
So that’s good
His body was ready
Damm Reggie retired didnt even know
@@kokosb6146 I think he means that miyamoto was left alone and we won't be seeing stuff like this anymore, they were so charismatic together.
The fact Iwata did this even though he was almost dying from his sickness makes me have more respect for him than i already had for him.
The last time we see the legendary trio of Iwata, Reggie and Miyamoto. RIP Satoru Iwata :'(
Omg a toon
RIP Iwata Even toons can "please understand" :(

***** You entitled douche, it's disgusts me how much you just disrespected Iwata.
The Goldsmith Well, he does have a point. People still dislike some of Robin Williams' films...
it does not seem that bad to me
Man, it’s been years and it still hurts to hear Iwata’s voice. Rest In Peace you magnificent man.
It’s things like this that made Nintendo such a golden company.

That's a theory....
It is actually just a theme.. like Robot Chicken.
+RRG
Not true he came 2 july at E3 this Nintendo direct was made on 2 of june 2015 i just remember just like yesterday
It might be a reference to the mouth movements of the Star Fox characters in the older games resembling the mouth movements of puppets
Miyamoto was a fan of shows like Thunderbirds. However, Star Fox's animal aesthetic was more up the alley of someone like Jim Henson rather than Gerry Anderson. And, wouldn't you know it? The Jim Henson Company is precisely who made the puppets seen here.
Wow, I just watched a few Iwata videos out of boredom and coincidentally, it's his birthday today. He would've been 57 today.

Joesph Steelflex Nintendo characters in Disney animation would be outstanding!
***** It sure would! :)
***** Wolf of Wall Street
***** odds are it'll be related to Zelda WiiU or NX ... Miyazaki animation or action figures would be cool.
