That is a pretty cool tribute.
This is fucking me up
Extremely clever but also immensely depressing.
Pretty creepy IMO.
It's only cool because this is Iwata, no other company can pull this feeling genuine and without feeling the creepy T_TIt's an opportunity for every Nintendo fan to pay respect to Iwata on the anniversary of his death - it's pretty cool

I wonder if that means they've also now managed to find a way to combat time travel in Animal Crossing.
Why did I ever update my system?! So sad...
Damn dude...
I wish I could honor him.... fucking updates. Fucking internet.
It's only preventing you from doing it RIGHT NOW.
The only way to really see if it works now is if you wait till next year.
That's a legitimately awesome and thoughtful tribute. I'm really sad I'll probably never get to try it (unless I misread) bc of firmware. RIP Iwata.
This is really cool, but the cynic in me thinks this was not deliberate, at least the connection to Iwata's death anyway. I don't know why July 11th is the only day that works, but it's probably just a debug thing or glitch that got left in. I would be surprised if it still works next July, but we shall see.
I just managed to start the game twice. It's hard to get the motion just right. You also can't put the system in sleep mode when it's running. It closes the game if you do.
Golf is a hard game. It took 35 swings for me to get the ball in the first hole.

What are you on about.
Guess we gotta sink one for our boy Iwata next July.
...Because it's programmed to only work on that day. The same day Iwata died?
Nothing, I'm just skeptical. It's such an odd thing to leave as a tribute and the method of access, that I don't think it is a tribute and that there must be some other reason behind it. That's all.
It's cool either way though.
I think this is a cool tribute, but why the date of his death? To honor someone, isn't it logical to do so on his or her birthday? Is the death day just a cultural thing?
Honoring the anniversary of a loved one's/venerable one's death is a custom in much of Asia.
