Sad News
RIP Iwata
RIP Iwata
Well, this really shocked me of how sudden this happened (keep in mind i don't really game much this days and wasn't even aware of his health or related ilness).
RIP Mr. Iwata. Even if i weren't much a fan of the Wii and NDS/3DS there's no doubt they marked a new era and renaissance for Nintendo.

I've said it a million times but that site should be banned, disgusting how they treat someone as important as this.
Yoshida has uttered his respects, classy guy as always.

Like, even after that, it seemed like he was better off. So sudden. And so shocking. Truly a tragedy for the company and many others who knew him.

Yep. Both sides. Yoshida, Boyes, Major Nelson, E, Lobb, Charla.

Best wishes to his family. I always liked the guy.
Not from the official accounts to my knowledge, but Shu did send out a tweet about half an hour ago about his thoughts: https://twitter.com/yosp/status/620388345969971200
*EDIT: Whoops, see someone already posted it above.

I didn't know he had cancer. I remember he was in the hospital before, but I had no idea why.

Yoshida tweeeted condolences in Japanese. Fuck this day, seriously. I should be in bad. I have a job interview tomorrow but damn, I wanna stay up and play on my 3DS.

The industry lost a true titan who can never be replaced.
May he RIP and his legacy live on forever.

"I feel there's a depth, a wonder to the act of making games. Creating a single game involves constant trial and error, integrating and play while remaining true to your theme, your concept. You wade through the vast possibilities, converging on a product. I really don't think there's anything else like it".

Ugh... just what a pure loss of knowledge and understanding of Nintendo's history...
This is killing me.

What?! Damn, that's terrible. The gaming world won't be the same without him. May he rest in peace.
Mr. Iwata, thank you for the hand you had with the fun and entertainment Nintendo has given to me over the years; your Iwata Asks and Nintendo Directs provided many insights into what makes the company tick, and made it feel a bit more personal. The Iwata Asks especially, helped me to mold new values regarding the ways video games can provide entertainment, and an openness for how hardware and games can be like fun toys, and to value the feeling of fun that comes from the action of playing as the most worthy aspect of video games. RIP Mr. Iwata :-( I have many more I still need to read.

Can someone post a complete list of all the games Iwata worked on? Or is there already a list in here somewhere?
This image actually made me want to go out and buy a Wii U w/ Mario Maker.
Yoshida and Adam Boyes have both paid respects on their individual pages.

I can't believe this. I knew he was sick, but I didn't think it was this bad.
Rest in peace, Mr. Iwata.

I'm on the verge of tears right now. I'm so shocked.
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.
Can somebody add this to my avatar please? I need to have this since I respect the man so much.
I'm crying here. WHY?! WHY??!!!

Crazy news. Guess his health problems were more serious than anyone let on.
Really loved what he brought to the company and his composure during Nintendo Directs/etc.
Rest in piece.
