RIP

This is really sad.

 

[John Harker]

This is incredibly sad news . And very unexpected. I had the pleasure of meeting him directly once and have been in the same room(s) with him several times over the years and I've always been impressed and excited by him. RIP.

 

[El-Pistolero]

I thought it was a morbid joke at first...

Sad news! My condolences to his family and friends...

 

[rjinaz]

RIP legend.

 

[Gradon]

...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WHAT.

 

[Calvero]

Yeesh, I did a double take when I saw the thread title. I was racking my brains to remember another Satoru Iwata because I felt sure it couldn't be him.

RIP

I did the exact same thing

 

[Kade]

Rest in peace, Iwata-san.

 

[Squishy3]

No other news site has picked this up. Are we sure this is legit? Shame if so.

There's an official press release from Nintendo.

 

[tali'zorah84]

RIP, thanks for all the memories :,(

 

[Neoxon]

This was out of nowhere... I had to take multiple takes when I saw the title...

Rest in Peace, Iwata... You always graced the Nintendo Directs with your charm. Condolences to his family.

Oh god, Nintendo Directs aren't gonna be the same without him. ;_;

Shit. Poor guy was sick for a while.

That is very disheartening to hear about this news. I do wish my condolences to those knew and are dear to Satoru Iwata. Will he always be missed, rest well.

Now what?

 

[Blackage]

Dude....

 

[Zambayoshi]

I'll always remember him as Bananaman. RIP Mr Iwata.

 

[Spaced33]

Wow, this is really unexpected. I know his health had taken a tumble recently but I thought he was on the mend.

So sad : (

 

[a very cute dog]

Wow. Rest in peace.

 

[Jiguryo]

Terrible news. I've always liked Iwata's trajectory - from software developer to president - and it's a shame he couldn't recover from his health issues.

#RIP
