Satoru Iwata

Nintendo Switch firmware update 4.0.0 has removed NES Golf or 'flog' as it was referred to from the console.

This hidden Nintendo Switch game - NES Golf, can only be played on the death anniversary of Nintendo’s former President, Satoru Iwata.

The GDC 2016 awards honoured Iwata's contributions to video games with a three-minute video.

The game was only released in Japan initially but will be rolled out in 15 other countries.

Without the enthusiasm of the late former Nintendo President and CEO, much of the world would have been deprived of the joy of Pokemon video games, says Tsunekazu Ishihara.

Tatsumi Kimishima also served as CEO of Nintendo America between 2006 and 2013.

Nintendo has lost its CEO and we're all the poorer for it.

Senior managing directors Genyo Takeda and Shigeru Miyamoto will be the sole remaining representative directors.

Nintendo Co Ltd Chief Executive Satoru Iwata died after a long illness, the company said today, months after he led the Japanese video-game maker's belated entry into mobile gaming following years of declining sales. He was 55.

Nintendo said Iwata passed away on Saturday, losing his fight with bile duct cancer.
