    I known which game I’m going to play alright!
    Though my original GBC copy of Pokemon Gold and Silver no
    longer works… At least, I can play the remakes to honor him. :)

    Still have my original SNES cartridge for Earthbound. Guess its a good time to experience it again…

    To honor him, I will play Earthbound and Super Smash Bros 64 this weekend. I don’t have Gold or Silver so I’ll boot up HeartGold instead.

    RIP Iwata-san

    Did he have anything to do with Balloon Kid for Gameboy?

    Balloon Fight is da shiz. Matter of fact, it was my favorite minigame in Nintendoland, and got me to buy the original.

    These are do-able.

  • Wonder Dean

    Don’t forget pretty much any Kirby game, he was the president of HAL Labs before he was CEO.

    In fact, play any recent Nintendo game that makes you happy, Iwata probably had a hand in it as executive producer, and you can still honor him by having fun. Fun. The thing he always strived to bring to millions of gamers everywhere.

    What about Earthbound Beginnings? Didn’t Satoru Iwata have a hand in that, too?

    Balloon fight and earthbound. For me then

  • Spice’71

    If ya can’t play the original balloon fight, play the version in Nintendo land. It’s More-ish.
    RIP Iwata San.
