Parallel Legacies

Nintendo of Japan President Satoru Iwata

“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.”

“Video games are meant to be just one thing: fun. Fun for everyone.” 

Satoru Iwata

The Importance of Media Relationship

Satoru Iwata is a person whom I look up to and realized that I share many traits with him.

 

He embodies Nintendo’s ideals and styles to be doing something completely different, and be somewhat ignorant to such popular trends of other companies.

 

He is a leader, a businessman, a gamer, a colleague, and a friend.

 

This is the discovery of how I came to idolize him and embody similar natures of many media theorists by Marshall McLuhan, Lisa Nakamura and Henry Jenkins upon further reflection.
