Description
On the day after CEO of Nintendo Satoru Iwata passed away, there was a rainbow in the sky above Nintendo's Kyoto headquarters: kotaku.com/today-there-was-a-r… .

Satoru Iwata was 55, he was a great man, a businessman that knew how to had fun, and had a personality. While I don't agree with some of Nintendo's recent business decisions, I do respect this man, as he is no doubt a gamer at heart, a gamer first, a business man second. He pushed gaming into a new era, opening the door to people you never thought would play games, your mother, father, grandparents, casual gamers, etc. Gaming is now a much larger business and more mainstream today thanks to him.

I'm a bit late for the tribute but I hope it's not too late.

Mario (C) Nintendo.

Rest in peace Iwata-san.
