Satoru Iwata - Heart of a Gamer | GDC 2005 Keynote

Please welcome to the stage director of the Game Developers Conference Jamil Moinda.

Good morning.

Many of you will have a lot in common with our next speaker, as he started out as a game developer himself.

If you've played any of the Kirby, EarthBound, or Smash Brothers games, you've already met his inner self.

Yet his vision of the future propelled him up the chain of command, landing him at the highest level of the video game industry.

We are also particularly appreciative that he will be delivering his keynote in English and with a sore throat.

Please join me in welcoming the top man at Nintendo—worldwide president Satoru Iwata.

Thank you very much, J.

All my business card: I am a corporate president.

In my mind, I am a game developer.
