 [![Satoru Iwata amiibo](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/satoru-iwata-amiibo.jpeg "Satoru Iwata amiibo")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/satoru-iwata-amiibo.jpeg)Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s former president, creator of Kirby and the savior of HAL Laboratory, after his tragic death in 2015, in our opinion, is getting his deserved amiibo.

GandaKris an artist, known for her would make homemade amiibo’s that Nintendo itself never would release, commemorated Satoru Iwata with his own amiibo.

There is also a special made amiibo box, namely by @SethHay.

By these little things Satoru Iwata will not soon be forgotten.

Let’s hope that people will keep enjoying the games where he was a part of.
