Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has been named the year’s most important individual in Next-Gen.biz’s Top 25 People of 2007 list.

Iwata beat out the likes of Activision president Robert Kotick, Bioshock mastermind Ken Levine and Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopoulos to the top spot.
“The story of 2007 was for all intents and purposes the story of Nintendo,” say our writing cousins at Next-Gen. “It was the story of Satoru Iwata, a man Barron’s listed as one of the world’s best CEOs, and how he led his company back to market leadership. He is the obvious choice for Next-Gen’s person of the year.”
