DS and Wii's monumental success will be his incredibly huge legacy. And so much more.
I will miss him. He was so likeable.

Wow.
RIP.
RIP.
Jesus, what a shocker. He was a great programmer in his time, and it's hard to imagine the landscape of gaming as we know it today without the bold moves he made out of necessity with both the DS and the Wii. Whatever missteps he may have made along the way, he was a deeply great influence on gaming as a whole.

...I don't believe it.
I knew that he had been skipping events lately as he had been in the hospital over the past few years, but I didn't think it was anything serious.
RIP. I send my condolences to his family, friends, and close co-workers. I can't bear to even know how Reggie and Miyamoto feel about this, especially with last month's E3 Digital Event (Muppet!Iwata or not) will now be one of his final public collaborations with the two...

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

This is quite shocking; though there were the reports that he was dealing with health problems, it never seemed like it would lead to this.
RIP Iwata.

Wow, I was really hoping this was a cruel joke. RIP
I wonder if they'll still use the Iwata puppet. Who's going to take charge? What will become of the Iwata Asks?

Same here. I am a little surprised by my reaction, to be honest.

Goddamnit, he looked fine last month. RIP Iwata.
End of a fucking era.

Holy shit, this came out of nowhere. I wonder if his condition lately had actually been worse than we knew, since he didn't make the trip to E3. The future of the company is about to get extremely interesting.
Rest in peace, Mr. Iwata, and condolences to his family and all of Nintendo.
