With the passing away of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata developers have flocked to social networks to pay their respects. Hirokazu Tanaka, who is best known for his scores in a number of games produced by Nintendo, has created a beautiful remix of the theme to Balloon Fight which many consider to be Satoru Iwata’s signature video game. You can give the elegant tune a spin above.
Hirokazu Tanaka Makes Remix Of Balloon Fight’s Theme For Satoru Iwata

It’s still so wierd to me that he’s just dead… out of nowhere too…
Not cool…I tipped you off about this earlier today
I guess he was worse off than Nintendo & Iwata himself wanted us to believe. *sigh*
It sounds really good!
It’s so sad to get such a nice music on such circumstances.
Anybody else realizing that we lost Nintendo’s last two presidents in less than two years? Terrible man.
Oh man that’s freaking great.
Yea, and honestly Iwata’s bad health was probably the reason Nintendo’s E3 was so bad…. And we fans acted horribly. I feel bad for the way I responded to Nintendo’s E3. Thier president was literally on his death bed, and i was bitching about Metroid…
Yea I feel bad too. One person pointed out that the last message Iwata had to the public was essentially apologizing for E3. I really felt like shit after that.
that not an excuse to accept that shitty e3 they gave us.
seriously …
Fuck you. Have some respect.
wow, that’s really nice
If I lose myself tonight, Iwata, it’ll be by your side…
Yeah Nintendo had larger things to worry about but as they say, the show must go on. E3 showed a vulnerable Nintendo but now I understand why. We as Nintendo fans did act downright childish about this years E3 , but given the circumstances Nintendo did a great job of trying to go on despite knowing their leader was in such grave condition. It must have been hard to plan a show but they still tried to deliver what they could.
We’ll miss Iwata san, and I only see a more determined Nintendo coming out of all this as no one wants to let Iwata down.
Rest in peace good sir.
Today’s a sad and heartwarming day to be a Balloon Fighter fan. That’s actually a nice remix of the original theme.
We love you too!

All this news has been very saddening, I’ll wait for the emotions to settle before checking it out. If I listened to it now, I’d just start crying.
This is nice. Y’know what! I demand an update to Smash that adds this track to the Balloon Fight stage in honor of Iwata!
Theres already 1 in the 3ds version
Yeah but I’m pretty sure it isn’t THIS remix.
I was thinking the same thing lol you and I always seem to think a like
I wish I would have known about Balloon Fight when I was a kid. I think I would have really loved it. Since I loved Joust, a very similar game.
Wings? Halos? Here it’s all about balloons and helmets, Mr. President.
