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.

STAGE 20: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
GOTTA GO FAST!
Ever since stepping into the battle against injustice, Sonic has been the champion of peace and is renowned the world over for saving it countless times. During his many adventures, Sonic has traveled from the ends of the world to the far reaches of space and time, while facing countless trials that have tested him to the fullest, earning him many titles, allies and the scorns of several foes. Well-known for his legendary cocky attitude, easy-going demeanor and somewhat short temper, yet strong sense of justice, compassion, heart of gold and love for freedom and adventure, Sonic uses his abilities to protect the innocent from his world and those beyond from the forces of evil, especially his arch-nemesis Dr. Eggman (originally Introduced as Dr. Robotnick) , who constantly seeks world domination.
Although at this moment, the name has brought many frowns and feelings of false hope to his followers as of late, this podcast is to remember the good music that this franchise has brought to us through the years and remember how amazing this franchise really is.
