Retro VGM Revival Show - Playing Tribute to Satoru Iwata

  


We here at the Retro VGM Revival Show and The Nostalgia road trip Youtube are saddened to hear of the passing of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.

Greatly admired by gamers and peers, Iwata steered Nintendo through some of its brightest days, as both a producer, executive producer, techincal advisor, or supervisor of many of my childhood memories.

And this is why this episode of the Retro VGM Revival Show is to give tribute of the amazing works that mister Satoru Iwata took part in, and that will be remembered in our hearts forever.
