Satoru Iwata was a once in a lifetime game designer

[@ItsReallyGeo]

and CEO

[@GodlyDiamonds]

"was" no, he still *is* he's still blessing the games industry from the grave. but yeah rip.

[@karnotik]

He's now the lord of the mountain 🥹

[@okamic1750]

And man and legend

[@LTCloud9]

He was soo goddman charming. Never gave off that "Snobbish" vibe every other ceo vibe. Always down-to-earth, a man who is a gamer first and business man next, his quote will always be in my heart. Rest in peace Mr. Iwata, you were too good for this world.

[@rafacastillo9611]

I like how the Iwata stuff comes first so i can cry myself to sleep. Smart move guys

[@lthefifteenth661]

Yeah, DYKG, you guys are sadistic.

[@okamic1750]

I cried when he passed and I tear up watching this. A true legend and one of my heroes. Rest in peace Iwata-San

[@ProfitMonarchRL]

I still remember when Iwata passed. Hit me like a damn train. An absolute once in a lifetime person who made so many of our childhoods incredible through his absolute endless programming and producing knowledge 😢

[@EclipseHighroller]

I love these kind of “facts to fall asleep to” but the music choice doesn’t fit, it’s upbeat, very anti-sleep style music.

[@D2.159]

It's music the original videos these are compiled from had, trying to remove it or change it would fuck up the audio

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

I wasn't ready for this one. Opening with the documentary on Satoru Iwata really set the stage for the rest of this video. It's one thing to have facts about the games themselves, but this is the greatest compilation yet, because it details the accomplishments of many of the amazing and talented people who made them possible. In my heart, I will always be a gamer. Good night, gamers.

[@tanzolo4487]

Currently at 30 min in. Can’t fall asleep because this is just too interesting.

[@Kango234]

The one downside to these videos.

[@Rpodnee]

Watch it at half speed.

[@beyondthreshold815]

😅😮

[@gengar8118]

Love how Iwata describes troubleshooting code as being “in the trenches”

[@elllieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

that's what it feels like I imagine, especially so close to a deadline

[@tens.13]

That thumbnail scared the shit out of me 😂

[@RootVegetabIe]

Whoever makes these thumbnails should be locked up.

[@braxtonstewart1655]

You gave him a blanket!!

[@Doggidigital]

Finally, our thumbnails are warm and toasty :3

[@manny3765]

Thinking about Iwata still makes me tear up, what a legend

[@Treppy_Gecky]

Man Kondo has great music tastes. Not surprised he loves Deep Purple they really like having cool organ solos in their music. Wonder if he likes the Doors as well or Steely Dan.

[@journeyburney]

I have a new appreciation for the late Satoru Iwata because of this "fall asleep to" series. RIP :(

[@scottpilgrim2]

Good old Satoru still making people money today :_:

[@jacksonlovesnintendo]

He was such a good man 😭😭

[@Apophis324]

Nooo, starting with Furst's retelling of the life of Mr. Iwata is not a great way to fall asleep, it's a great way to get emotional!

[@nicodemos4829]

yay a blanket, he's not cold!

[@jamessmyth3952]

Iwata San…. You put too much stress on yourself If he could only believe he was perfect the way he was

[@sawyer02dk]

Found this channel recently and I love listening to facts and rambling as I go to sleep and I LOVE games and Nintendo. Thank you for the help with my insomnia!

[@chadtucker4267]

I have mixed feelings about this video. On the one hand, it’s probably my favorite of your videos thus far. It’s inspiring to hear about the artist behind the work instead of always focusing on the art like so much gaming KZbin seems to do. HOWEVER, and this is the kicker…. Y’all slipped in Todd Howard over my boy Eiji?!

[@asymmetricfuzion970]

Iwata is the true definition of a great leader. He is one of the best ever in the game design industry. A true legend

[@EpicLPer]

Can't sleep and then this is uploaded, nice.

[@scaryhatguy4214]

I am working on a small indie game and these videos gives you an idea of what to look at and what perspective to look at them for what results. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@WTG84]

Oh my god, this video hit me in the feels too many times 😭❤ So many amazing developers that had such a huge impact on my life. Thank you for this DYKG

[@elysian179]

Honestly these videos are really nice, I try to pay attention to them before falling asleep but they help A LOT it's not that they are boring so I fall asleep but having it in the background just relaxes me

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

Thanks!

[@g.r.4372]

Iwata is the ideal exec - the world and the industry would be a better place with more people like him. Rest in peace, legend. My respects.

[@tomato48]

KZbin knows me so well. They always suggest these videos at night when I can’t fall asleep

[@RenegadeX28]

I always laughed that you make these videos with these titles, but they truly do help me sleep while learning game facts. I fell asleep soundly last night.

[@killuazoldyck2053]

You made me think Miyamoto passed away and I somehow never heard for a second there! I shot up while trying to fall asleep to look it up! Whew. Thank goodness.

[@Tzukaikari]

Rest in peace, Mr Iwata ❤

[@Alex.furry.cool..]

I listened to this once and now I can't fall asleep without it these videos are my life.

[@eazy2klean]

Forever respect these Nintendo employees💯 these were/are living legends right here

[@cj_skywalker]

I had no idea that the father of Mario had a hand in the first Pokemon games. I thank him for that backup memory which brought one of my favorite game series to the heights it did reach. ^_^

[@jakel7319]

just what i needed thanks dykg

[@CoffeeCoffinCake]

I have never been so visibly emotional in public than I have listening to this in my painting class. Thank you so much for this! It’s an incredible short documentary meshed with all of these artistic masters.

[@xKarenWalkerx]

Love that Earthbound OST!!

[@leojeo]

You cant start this with iwata mannnnnnnnnnnnn. I miss him

[@itswhodesharn]

Another DYKG Clips video, another peaceful sleep.

[@djgoku7774]

Love the Iwata tribute 😢. But yo who made that Miyamoto thumbnail 😅?

[@Jagzin909]

The amount of talent and creativity displayed by the staff of Nintendo never ceases to amaze me.

[@whatsupmason6514]

I like to think Mr.Satoru Iwata is smiling on us all knowing we will always be so thankful and grateful for what he did for us and that he can read the things we say online. With that i say this. Thank you Satoru Iwata for everything, it really hurt to hear you passed but from the bottom of my heart you deserve to rest and we thank you for allowing us to experience the amazing things you have done. 😞

[@AvarusTheFabulous]

Well i am used to crying myself to sleep so this video atleast gives it a somewhat bitter-sweet twist.

[@PrinceSamTV]

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING MR IWATA !!!!

[@heyitstheblackguy]

Just bite the bullet and gove us an 8hr vid lol you know what we use these for 😂

[@ELTT1]

Mr iwata passing still hurts the last great Nintendo CEO

[@DonutSwordsman]

Awesome blanket!

[@tcg2717]

Man, why did you have to make me sad right from the get go :(

[@LDSYG7]

a hero in the making

[@alderoth01]

I wish I could work for a video game company. Not even as a developer. I'd love to just be the janitor to keep the place tidy so they can keep being productive lol. Working at a video game company is my childhood dream lol.

[@inky1930]

DON'T GIVE UP! You are capable of that, you can do anything ❤

[@OfficialErnestCriterion]

If you work hard enough you can be a janitor

[@chosenone3137]

I can't believe we had a gamer, a game developer as president of Nintendo. Iwata was such a kind and a really cool guy. A far cry from all these business men now and back in the 90s and before.

[@greenlavaproductions]

I only played the Saturn a few times at a cousins house on a very early Sharp Aquos. This was by the time the PS2 was out but the whole experience was cool.

[@jamessmyth3952]

You found a very lucrative niche, haven’t you? Well done

[@kevinmadcock8999]

Iwata. A gamer from the begining to the end.

[@snad3612]

This really is one of the 2+ hours of video game history to fall asleep to of all time

[@JonathanHolt1988]

One of the best you mean?

[@KoldAsHell]

​@JonathanHolt1988 it's supposed to be a joke. People say 'it's one of the of all time' trying to be funny

[@simsim1631]

That quote is powerful

[@ReoAard]

Thanks

[@waddlebottle]

they finally put a blanket on the thumbnail!

[@Videmacio]

the uncanny game developer thumbnail; a mimir.

[@metalgearskeletor]

I once lost 1-27 in Guilty Gear Strive and that feels historic to me

[@-cyndaquil]

Oh hell yeah, haven’t slept in month 😢

[@emeritusI]

man these facts are pretty co

[@JiaNaDaRen15]

I had to do a google image search. I kept hearing "2 action rpgs in the Black Tie Series" lol

[@thecosmicbro5429]

Well Good night 🌠

[@ItsReallyGeo]

rip Mr. Iwata

[@plebempire]

i love scott the woz can you do 2+ hours of scott the woz facts please i wanna all asleep to that

[@enorma29]

[@plebempire]

@@enorma29 your opinion dosent matter youre not the guy who makes these videos

[@alyssa2x]

goodnight guys

[@justthatguy5655]

[@wadedewell]

what is the name of the zelda soing at 11:40 ?

[@bimboliciousame]

YESSS THEY GET BLANKETS NOW

[@diggitheins8334]

Omg stop guys I can only sleep so much 😅

[@coniyat]

Oh god time to cry again

[@TheCartoonGamer8000]

Commenting for the algorithm

[@TaliesinMyrddin]

If Nintendo thinks Mario is cool more than cute that explains a lot lol

[@rabou5022]

goodnight all

[@Sven2andahalf]

@Grimbeard hearing 'gamer' being said as a passive thing

[@krymz1]

How the hell you expect me to sleep with that up beat beat?!?

[@NarcolepticProphet]

Now if I looked liked that they’d be calling me Miyamota metal mouth.

[@beeetl3]

sweet dreams c:

[@MIDNITE69]

❤

[@Daytek90210]

0:37 didn't he NOTICE someone else playing with a calculator bored on a train? Or was that another creator

[@hfrox1]

I believe that was Gunpei Yokoi who created the game and watch

[@Daytek90210]

@@hfrox1 ohh right right, my bad, thanks man! I hope you have a great day 😊

[@Shinyslaking64]

Everytime I get to the part where they talk about Mr. Iwata passing I always get that lump in my throat and need to immediately find a happy thing to watch.

[@Tripp-wr5yu]

Please make vr games

[@shycrystal6714]

Can we get cabbage as an actual release?

[@minakohiashi8882]

I really want to play the map but i dont know how to find it Osu shorts. i like to watch and download what i think is cool. but honesty i dont think shorts are fun. there hard and short most are 12 seconds survival. i rather have a full song at a fair difficulty. of course they exist for TikTok I like Aspire maps like the horror map and Guitar Hero . As far as I know there is no one else doing maps like that and I'm guessing its just very hard it be nice to see more

[@Rickles]

Music makes this a no go for sleeping 😢

[@ParaplegicKeanuReeves]

I guess that's why that cringe ASMR shit exists.....lol

[@FireFight.Lullabies]

megaman legends actually had z targeting before zelda did?

[@Rpodnee]

I like video games.

[@kimzee59]

This is not a good video to fall asleep to. Its currently 3am and im crying over Iwata

[@SamP0rterBridges]

Pokemon Red and Green?

[@PrinceSamTV]

A Japanese man paying several thousand dollars for a calculator 😅

[@thomasdight1267]

Every night

[@PaulaTwo1]

Do you think Miyamoto sleeps like that?

[@bashy241]

Iwata sensei was so ahead of his time, realizing that pursuing the latest hardware doesn’t make a good game. He genuinely cared about games and you could tell

[@strailz4302]

First

[@Oliviermamet]

horrible…suppose to bore me to sleep and ended up watching the whole thing 😢

[@ARDIZsq]

Man, Nintendo has REALLY gone downhill as a company since Iwata passed. Every team needs a good leader. Iwata wasn't just good, he was exceptional. There's a reason why he's considered a legend in the history of gaming.

[@kennymcintyre9186]

it’s hard to sleep when there is 2 ads every 5-10 mins that i have to skip lol. i love your guys’s videos but considering these are just compilations of your other videos and they’re made for people to sleep to, do you need to have THIS many? it’s kind of ridiculous.

[@brettrace]

The ai generated thumbnail for this video is creepy af

[@barryoconnor9589]

You stole the Miyamoto story from 'The Gaming Historian', literally word for word and the same images.

[@noaht2005]

dodgy

[@jamessmyth3952]

Interesting if I care later I’ll look into it

[@antoniotorres1674]

Most of these videos are made in a batch, which makes them full of plagiarism and lack of creativity, sad but true.

[@RacingHeartMedia]

Wow going against your parents wishes led to no communication from them for 6 months smh
