Iwata was Wisdom, it should be the left Triforce.

 

[DrZeus]

I'm at a lost for words...


RIP Mr. Iwata


And thanks...for the gaming😥

 

[p_xavier]

Ok my eyes were getting watery before but now there are legit tears coming out of them. The man exhibited a passion unlike nobody else and just wanted to share his passion with the world.

While I didn't adhere with his vision, that post still gave me watery eyes too. RIP Iwata.

 

[oni_saru]

Wow. I'm in shock. Feels so sudden :'(

RIP Satoru Iwata

 

[FiddyShadeJ]

Add me to that ribbon list. Eyes are super glossy right now.

 

[GamerSoul]

Oh my Lord....just wow. RIP Iwata. You will be missed.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I'm so sad, and also because the poor man suffered the backlash from the E3 one month ago.

Thank you for all your passion Mr. Iwata!

He's in Dreamland now with all of his creations smiling us.

 

[The_Kid]

R.I.P. Iwata, you will be missed so much. :c

(If someone could put the banner in my icon Id appreciate it)

 

[orthodoxy1095]

GAF logo should change in honor of Iwata.

100% needs to happen.

 

[Exotoro]

I still can't believe it.

 

[Atizumi]

Is there a Red version of the ribbon?

Red ribbons are usually associated with HIV/AIDS.

 

[Fancy Clown]

RIP. Man, that's really sad and unexpected

[Firemind]

This sucks. And I found out yesterday that my grandmother has cancer. Fuck cancer.

 

[Mariolee]

What, just....no words. We've lost a great man today. I...still can't believe this happened.

 

[xaszatm]

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.

Someone please apply this to my avatar as well.

I'm...I'm gonna cry now.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Oh wow, . This is really sad. I knew he was sick, but this seems so sudden. He seemed like someone who really cared about what he did, and participated in things that most execs never do. He was part of what made Nintendo, Nintendo.

Rest in peace.

 

[Shiokazu]

[Hero of Legend]

If any one sees this post, please add the ribbon to my avatar as well please!

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Again, can anyone add the ribbon to my avatar?

 

[frankMX]

RIP.
oh my god...

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

There's really no need for troll posts from other boards.

 

[eRonin]

Rest in peace, Mr Iwata.

I can't believe it. I'm trying hard to push back tears. I don't want it to be real.

 

[AkuMifune]

Damn. Sad.

Rest in peace

 

[x3sphere]

Nintendo Direct won't be the same without him RIP

 

[Femmeworth]

Fuck.

 

[W.S.]

Wow that sucks, sad to hear this news.

Oh my god. You will be missed Iwata-san.

 

[VICI0US]

holy cow.. I know he missed some events due to his health and he never looked quite as well as he did before after he resurfaced in the recent nintendo directs and such, but I would've never imagined it was this serious

RIP Mr Iwata, the DS/Wii era re-ignited my love of gaming, and a lot of that is on your shoulders.

 

[Jims]

A very sad day.

RIP Iwata.

Oh that's not even fair to my tear ducts.

 

[Lingitiz]

Some will say he was a wonderful programmer, who did coding sorcery to get games like Pokemon Gold and Silver onto cartridges that had no business fitting.

Some will say he was a jovial personable man who humanized the often fitful, draconian realm of the video game boardroom.

But I will remember him as the man who ate big pay cuts to keep his staff employed and occupied where other CEOs would throw their people under buses or flee and have someone else desperate to appease shareholders do it instead.

And for that, he will be missed deeply.

Can't quote this enough. Whatever you might think about some of his decisions, he was genuinely a man of great character.

 

[D-Man]

Thank you. I really appreciate this.

 

[Tansut]

You had a legitimately warm and charming presence that shined through in every direct and interview I came across. But most importantly, you leave behind such a massive and important body of work that everyone in the video game industry has to have felt your contribution on some level.

Thank you and goodbye, Iwata.

 

[mohsinkhan]

Holy smokes RIP.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

GAF logo should change in honor of Iwata.

i second this. Can we get a mod in here?

 

[NamikazeBurst]

Here you go:

L95 already did one for me, but thanks!

 

[Arondight]

RIP Mr. Iwata. Loss of a great contributor to this industry. Only 55 as well.

 

[Mysterious]

Bungie.

 

[Jachaos]

What!?

Nooooo.

Rest in peace Iwata-san

I'll play Balloon Trip in your honour.
