Nintendo’s E3 2015 Digital Event brought Satoru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aimé, and Shigeru Miyamoto together in one unforgettable opening, recreated as puppets by The Jim Henson Company. The legendary Nintendo trio helped define an entire era of Wii, Wii U, Nintendo DS, and 3DS history. Just weeks later, Iwata passed away at 55.

DougDimmadome :

Didn’t they do this because Iwata was in bad condition

Mr. Kains :

Rip Iwata, and boy do I miss Regie too

ravioliworm :

i thought the gifs that would go around of the three of them walking was so tough

Skip Redstone :

Iwata passed away barely a year after this event. The Jim Henson Company made the puppets and produced the scenes for the event.

Angel :

Back when Nintendo was peak and not anti consumer

Gameboy :

Iwata and Reggie really were holding that company together. you can tell Miyamoto still hasn't recovered from the passing of Iwata and Reggie's resignation. and now Pritchard has a lot to pick up from the mess that Doug Bowser made for Nintendo of America.

ip.030 :

This is so nice but everyone tends to forget how barebones this era was

Kibbles021 :

Funny how no one wanted to be Slippy.

Congar :

Reggie was really the backbone of Nintendo if you really think about it Nintendo was hellbent on not making Wii sports free until Reggie basically begged them to

kaiserdingus :

When Miyamoto popped up with that Star Fox shirt I screamed, we really thought Star Fox Zero was going to be the saving grace for the franchise

GSmashGaming :

RIP Iwata. Nintendo in the 2010s had a different kind of energy for sure. The anticipation for super smash Bros for 3DS and Wii U was definitely palpable. And to this day I still watch the 2015 edition of the Nintendo world championships and keep hoping that Nintendo will bring that back.

FigsTok :

I miss Iwata. Nintendo was fun with him at the helm

The Jean Creamer👴🏻💦 :

Puppet Reggie’s got major rizz

Taylor Bowman :

We used to have it so good in the gaming world... 💔

Superswagger79 :

There will never be another person like Iwata

horrocrux88 :

Gorp :

Man I can’t wait for E3 this year!

P.H.E. :

Where was this song from again?

noonebuddy :

a shame about starfox zero, but this was one of the best ads ever

Gingersnap907 :

I know he is Mr. Iwata, but I could only hear Mystery Water 😭

loserman415 :

Did they model beta frank west off Reggie’s puppet ? They look so similar

Vortex112 :

They couldn’t have given Miyamoto a shorter title? I’d hate to see the font size on his business card

thejude2024 :

I wonder where these puppets are today
