I don't actually have any idea since I'm not an insider with access to any secret knowledge, but I do notice these things: * Satoru Iwata really liked the name Satoshi * His work at Nintendo showed talent in the same programming languages used to create Bitcoin * Nintendo oddly had some cypherpunk stuff going on under his time at the top - see the item codes in Animal Crossing for example * His position and experience also suggest deep understanding of currency, system architectures, cybersecurity, network scaling, etc * No more Satoshi after him - coincidence? I have no idea, it's just fun to speculate

The original thing that made me think of him was I found out the Nintendo 64 can run Linux, which made me think maybe Nintendo was secretly doing a Japanese military project to convince the American military industrial complex to let them make powerful desktop computers without spyware by posing them as toys. "Mom, can I make my special computer hardware a little more powerful?" "What for?" "For kids worldwide to play more advanced games" *secretly uses it to make Japan's government more independent like a boss* After thinking about that, I realized if anyone in the world could have made it as long as Satoshi did before the deep state found out & stopped him, maybe it would be Satoru Iwata.
