Summary
Given Satoru Iwata's recent passing, Stephen takes today to discuss the man and his legacy. To an extent, Stephen is surprised by how much sympathy is being poured out by everyone on social media. He attributes this to the fact that Iwata was so much more involved in the public aspects of Nintendo than previous presidents. Iwata was a major force behind the creation of the Nintendo DS and Wii, and almost single-handedly fixed the code of Earthbound.

In a way, if it weren't for Iwata, Stephen wouldn't have met Mal or started his career as a content creator on YouTube. Stephen invites the viewers to share their thoughts in the comments.
