MCV Staff 17th July 2015 Development News

This week’s Develop Awards 2015 kicked off with a tribute video to the wonderful Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo.

Iwata-san sadly passed away earlier this week, and the Develop team paid respects to him with a video of some of his most inspiring keynotes, which was then shown to more than 500 developers and industry professionals at this week’s awards ceremony.

Check out the full video below, in which Iwata tells of the origins of his desire to create games and the central philosophies to which he and Nintendo held dear.

This transition has no impact on games that already released, or will be releasing, prior to January 2028 in disc format."
