Very sad.

Shocked me to read this.

I liked him a lot.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Give this man a fucking statue when Nintendo Land opens at Universal Studios. Immense legacy, and he will be missed. RIP.

This reminds me when Walt died before seeing the orlando resort built. Is so sad this men didn see some of their dreams become true
His family and the whole company must be devastated. As someone who thought he was great and also a magnificent person, I am roght now.
And I was just going to sleep, I think I cant now

R.I.P Satoru Iwata

 

[twothunder]

I just can't believe it. Even now. How horribly sad..
So sudden too. I knew he had health problems but this..

Rest in peace Satoru Iwata

 

[Shadowninja100]

Holy shit.

[JayEH]

Sad news, RIP. Had no idea he was doing so bad.

 

[Linkark07]

No. No. I can't believe it. This came out of the blue.

RIP Iwata san.

 

[drtomoe123]

Very disappointed to hear this. The man was very influential and he had a great sense of tone, both -- Iwata Asks is so great to read.

Condolences to his family. RIP.

 

[Sawneeks]

Had to do a double take at the title to make sure I was reading it correctly and I still don't believe it.

Holy shit. I thought he was getting better.

May he rest in peace.

 

[kewlmyc]

Fuck whoever is currently messing with his Wikipedia page. Show some respect.

 

[lukeskymac]

I knew he was ill but damn if this wasn't sudden anyway...

 

[Kastrioti]

Wow. Shocked. RIP to a video game industry legend.

 

[Gwyn]

Rest in peace

 

[El-Pistolero]

I did not know he had been fighting cancer...What an ugly disease...RIP...

 

[Nzyme32]

Fuck.

Best wishes to his family and friends.

 

[The12thGripper]

[Enforced]

I can't believe this. The news hurts me. I'll miss you Iwata.

 

[PunjabiPlaya]

Wow, this is so unexpected and he was still young. Iwata will definitely live on in Nintnendo history. RIP

 

[Coinspinner]

Rest in Peace....

 

[tycoonheart]

What the WHAT?!?!?!

 

[Cody_D165]

This has to be some sort of thread record, nearly one reply for every view.

Respect for Iwata outpouring.

RIP. I'm so fucking depressed right now.

 

[THEAnderson21]

Really bummed out. Iwata forever.

 

[Godslay]

How I like to remember him:

This is great, shows that no matter what position you are in, you shouldn't lose touch with your passions. Thanks for sharing.

 

[randomhugs]

This is so sad. Rest in peace, Iwata.

 

[Jacksinthe]

Whoa whoa whoa. Holy shit. This sucks.

Rest in Peace Iwata. You will be missed.

I'm seriously in shock right now.

 

[LordDash]

Damn, I thought he was getting better.

RIP Iwata

 

[secretanchitman]

Holy shit that was unexpected. RIP Satoru Iwata.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Polygon just titling their story "Iwata is Dead"

http://www.polygon.com/2015/7/12/8940053/nintendo-president-satoru-iwata-is-dead

that's some disrespectful stuff right there.


EDIT:
They just changed it, but the link still has the original title headline.

 

[Lilo_D]

RIP TAT

 

[Neff]

Irreplaceable, and I don't care what anybody says.

 

[jbttwin]

Oh my god, no

 

[Totakeke]

There will never be a man like him again. RIP.

 

[shaowebb]

Oh man this is...just...I have no words. This is so sad...

 

[Kebiinu]

I...can't believe it.

 

[momshotdad]

Hell of a game designer and one of the most ambitious CEOs of any company in the world. Thank you Mr. Iwata. T-T

 

[flaxknuckles]

In 2014 Nintendo announced that Iwata would be missing E3 because of medical related reasons.[7] It was later revealed that he was undergoing surgery for a tumor in the bile duct. [8] He was later found dead, beaten to death by a swarm of Sony fans and redditors.

Dang, no class to whoever did this to his wiki.


EDIT: And it's gone.

 

[g__g]

Rest in piece Iwata.

 

[ULTROS!]

Rest In Peace

 

[zeopower6]

Interesting to note that last year, he had a growth removed from his bile duct around E3 but I guess this time they didn't catch it?

This has to be some sort of thread record, nearly one reply for every view.

Respect for Iwata outpouring.

RIP. I'm so fucking depressed right now.

That is generally what happens with fast threads. I believe it was similar for Bloodborne and others.

 

[BasilZero]

Rest in Peace

 

[TimorousPanda]

Oh my goodness.

Thanks for so many great years!

 

[Harmen]

Wow, did not see this coming at all. Didn't even know he was ill.

R.I.P

 

[Spieler Eins]

what the fuck?

 

[SirUltimos]

Holy shit. I'm legitimately upset about this.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Holy shit.

Rest in piece.

Would you mind posting the PNG for the ribbon?

Here is a scaled down version for avatars, with a white glow to detach it from the background. And the original. It's quick and dirty.

 

[Misuta]

Holy shit, I can't believe it. Rest in peace Iwata-san.
