GN Version 5.0

Satoru Iwata was well known for a lot of things, but one of his most famous moments came from his "Directly to you" motion with came from the Nintendo Direct series. This gesture reached far and wide, including Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga.

When Oga was asked to update a flower design from the first Gravity Rush, he decided to implement Iwata's famous gesture. The flower is used as a way to guide the player, so the pointing motion makes perfect sense. You can see an image of the gesture below, or watch the video at the 21:39 mark to see it in motion.
