Austrian indie developer BPlus has said that all profits made by their 3DS eShop titles Bit Boy!! ARCADE and PUZZLEBOX setup between now and the end of August 2015 will be donated to a cancer foundation in honor of Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s recently deceased president and CEO.

In a PR letter, BPlus announced that the games are now on sale in America, and that a similar sale will start on July 30th, 2015 in Europe.

“Satoru Iwata influenced my life in a great way. His death is very, very sad. “To honor Satoru Iwata, I decided to put my games on sale from now to the end of August 2015 in America. I reduced their prices as much as possible so I wouldn’t make a profit from them. I actually wanted to give them away for free, but contracts and other legal barriers prevented me from doing so. Any remaining cents that come from these sales will be donated to a cancer foundation. Any cent from now goes to a cancer foundation. “In Europe a similar sale will start on July 30, BBA & PUZZLEBOX setup for €0.99 each but any cent from NOW goes to a cancer foundation. I won’t keep any cent. “Everyone has his own way to honor Mr. Iwata by writing, drawing, filming or playing and that is my way to honor this great man. “Rest in Peace Satoru Iwata” —
