If people have unfulfilled avatar edits, PM me and I'll get right on it for you.
I'm so sad he didn't get to reach Mario's 30th.

Holy crap, that's tragic. It's such a shame to lose one of the biggest pillars in the gaming industry, who led Nintendo to such huge success in the last console generation, and this current handheld generation. He helped give gamers such wonderful systems as the DS, the 3DS, the Wii, and the WiiU, and helped get great first-party titles on those systems, so that gamers would enjoy them.
RIP, Mr. Iwata. It's such a tragedy to see you go.

RIP this is totally shocking to me.
this is totally shocking to me.
I was holding my tears but after hearing this I'm just simply crying. I've never been this sad for someone I didn't know in person...
Sad day.

Oh my. Our condolences. The industry will not be the same without him. He will be missed.

Amazed that he's only 55 given how long he's been in gaming. He was a legendary figure in the industry and he'll be sorely missed. Mario Maker is a fine game to go out on, and I look forward to being able to play that ASAP.

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.
I really need this on my avatar too, if someone would be so inclined to help me with this. Thanks.

Iwata is...gone?
I knew he had health issues, but to pass away? I just can't believe.

Yeah, Kriken beat you to the punch. Thanks for going through the trouble tho :]
This saddens me to a very deep degree.
He held such a genuine enthusiasm for his work and the company's games. And he had such a sharp sense of wit and humour. I recall that as Nintendo began to perform poorly, there were many calls to replace him, but I opposed it simply by the virtue that I couldn't imagine watching Nintendo Directs without him.
But now we have to. He will no longer present news directly to us. And, because of that, we are so much poorer. I'm glad he was immortalised as a Muppet. I'm glad he was given that chance.
Now, I'm going to sit quietly in sadness for a little while, as the news washes over me.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Terrible, terrible news.
That guy led Nintendo into the Wii and DS era - what an amazing legacy.

Can anyone add that to my avatar as well. Be contributed too much to the industry for me not to honor him in some way.
No I didnt.... this is what I meant
Was really nice having one console that was mostly innocent and aimed for the next generation of kids. With games lacking any cynicism when the best selling games on other consoles are primarily about murder.

Mods, is it possible to edit the title to include the years like (1959-2015)?
I apologize if it's not appropriate.
