Iwata is my hero.  I don't know anyone else in the industry that cares about gaming more than he did.  It took a lot of courage to make the decisions that he did.  The DS, Wii, 3DS, Wii U and Switch were all risky and sometimes controversial devices.  Some of these risks paid off a lot more than others did, but he was always causing Nintendo to make bold moves in order to advance gaming and bring more people in.  I still like to watch some of the videos about him like the "heart of the gamer" speech. 

I really can't believe that it has already been three years.  He will be missed.  RIP Iwata.
