I knew about some of these stories, but I didn't know he debugged Melee by himself, that's insane. What a legend.
What? Iwata was a superb coder
he also debugged Smash Bros melee by himself to avoid a delay and launch the game on the date they were targeting
It is in my post which you quoted unless you would like the original image.

I legit feel awful now of what I said about him and Nintendo during E3 week.
I see a lot of them actually feeling guilty for what happenedYeah. I can't help but feel that those who wished ill will upon him are probably dancing on the inside right now and it makes me sick to my stomach.
He knew he was going downhill during e3 didn't he? He still responded in humility...a great man indeed. The legend.

I love Splatoon and this made me crack up again.
Are there any more links like that Balloon Fight one that have Iwata talking more about his own design process and experience at all? That was really great.
He's always done a fantastic job of interviewing others in the Iwata Asks; it'd be nice if there was something with more of his own perspective.
Thank you kindly!
This seems like such a trivial thing to say, but it just hit me that we will never again receive a level 5 gold pants Iwata bringing greetings and puzzle pieces to our 3DSes.
If there's still one in your lobby, save it.
