Add me to those that vote for Gaf to recognize a legend in the industry.

The more I think back on the impact his work has had on my life I get more upset. Just a sad night now.

 

[RiZ III]

This is so depressing

 

[Subaru]

Can someone please add Iwata ribbon to my avatar? Thanks!

I'm so sad right now...

 

[Cow Mengde]

From the Nintendo Wikia. Iwata's credits:

Executive Producer doesn't mean much, but of it's still a nice list of his achievements.

 

[fmpanda]

What is that 24 hour livestream people do for hospital charities over at twitch again called? Maybe something like that, except playing games that Iwata had a hand in, like Smash Bros, etc....

That would be Extra Life on Nov. 7th. Needless to say I'll be talking with our Dallas guild about the Nintendo end of things.....

 

[Jigorath]

Shade.

What is wrong with you?

 

[Floridian]

Jesus Christ.... RIP

 

[Majine]

We send our love directly to you.

 

[Griss]

Just saw the news. Shaking, feel like I'm going to cry...

The man was such a huge part of my life, year after year after year. I remember when my Grandmother passed during my law exams and my father was suffering from depression. The thing that got me through the two days of the funeral was looking forward to the E3 2005 conference, and all the joy, laughter and anticipation it would bring.

Nintendo is the only company I've ever had any emotional attachment to, and so much of that was down to the way Iwata ran things. I just... I just can't believe it. I'm just in complete denial.

Rest in peace Iwata, I can't imagine ever, ever seeing your like ever again.

Jesus I'm going to lie down, I can't handle this

 

[Peltz]

Respect.

 

[jercruz]

RIP

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

RIP.

 

[dolabla]

OMG, this is horrible news to come home to. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May he RIP.

 

[Spaceking]

I feel really sad. RIP Mr. Iwata.

 

[Bam]

Incredibly tragic
RIP Mr. Iwata

 

[Takashi]

Wow this is heartbreaking.. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who were close to him. May he always be remembered for the huge impact he's made to the industry.

Rest in peace, Satoru Iwata.

Can someone please add Iwata ribbon to my avatar? Thanks!

I'm so sad right now...

 

[Jachaos]

From the Nintendo Wikia. Iwata's credits:

And I don't see Balloon Fight/Trip in there but he did a lot on that. I think he was the main programmer?

I can only find a (Edit: Not Spanish after all) Portuguese version, sadly the English subbed version isn't on Youtube anymore.

 

[No_Style]

Legend.

 

[KAP151]

Nice to see such a response from the industry. You will be missed Iwata San. You brough joy to millions

Yep. Shows how much the man was respected.

 

[Ventara]

Indeed. Thank you.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

 

[ElTorro]

Can someone please add iwata ribbon to my avatar?

RIP iwata. The lord had taketh away too soon...

 

[KingT]

Respect. RIP Iwata...

 

[Loudninja]

The industry that we love is incredibly small. Seeing everyone come together to mourn a loss like this is a reminder that while we all have different preferences, people have dedicated their lives to providing people a source of enjoyment and happiness.

Agreed ;_;

 

[lt519]

Anyone putting together an industry reaction thread? Dualshockers had a good start.

 

[Wesker28]

Oh no!
Rest in peace, Mr. Iwata... and thanks for everything!

 

[ladyluthien]

Oh my God. I haven't been on all day and I just saw this.

 

[Altered Juice]

Shade.

no? wtf

 

[Anth0ny]

 

[Who]

Today will always be remembered as a weird, rainy, sad day for me :/

 

[Harl3]

Posting again. I'd really be grateful if someone did this for me.

could someone please make a ribbon version of my avatar please? I want to show my respect to this incredible man...

 

[brickarts295]

First time I saw the man was in a magazine about the Wii Reveal

 

[SnipeyMcGee]

RIP - I'll miss the guy

[Intel_89]

I can only find a Spanish version, sadly the English subbed version isn't on Youtube anymore.

That's actually Portuguese.

 

[Diggeh]

My heart.

Rest in peace, Iwata. I never met you, but we had some good times.

 

[Busaiku]

Holy crap...
Ugh...

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Oh dear.

RIP, thank you for the Wii and the NDS

 

[El Sabroso]

And I don't see Balloon Fight/Trip in there but he did a lot on that. I think he was the main programmer?

I can only find a Spanish version, sadly the English subbed version isn't on Youtube anymore.

[Dad]

If someone could add the ribbon to my avatar, I would very much appreciate it.

Horrible news. Feels like it came out of the blue even knowing he was having some health issues. Things aren't going to be the same going forward. RIP Mr. Iwata
