A gaming historian may have found the first code Iwata ever wrote for Nintendo

What's the big deal about these old Famicom boards? Turns out Nintendo was working on a deal with Atari back in the day to bring out some games on Famicom, but that deal fell through when timing of the Famicom release was delayed. Still, there were multiple Atari-related projects worked on. That includes the arcade classic Joust, which just so happens to be the first game that Iwata ever coded. Believe it or not, it seems like the boards above could be the remnants of that Atari deal. If they're legit, they could indeed be the very first thing Mr. Iwata coded for Nintendo. A pretty amazing find, if you ask me!
