Nintendo's president Iwata has soft hands

I saw this at tinycartridge and thought it was really cool and post-worthy.

Game Center CX is a Japanese show where a guy named Arino bangs his head against the wall as he plays old video games. He was surprised by a visit from Iwata where they got to shoot the breeze about how each of them got started in their respective jobs, how Iwata feels about making games, and how his parents felt about his job at Nintendo. They play some of Balloon Trip, one of Iwata's early NES games. Also we find out how Iwata's hands feel.

If you like Iwata Asks and/or rare glimpses into the lives of game company presidents, you might like this:

I hope Iwata gets back into making games someday!

    I'm actually shocked this forum doesn't have a GCCX thread.

    Iwata's story about how he got into games and working for Nintendo was pretty interesting.
