Man, the longer I sit here thinking about this, the harder it hits me. Such a huge loss for his family, friends, and the gaming world at large.

 

[Salbug]

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.

May someone apply this to my avatar please?

 

[The Mad Draklor]

RIP Iwata. My condolences to his friends and family

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I'm so sorry to hear that I genuinely think he's been good in his role, and had a legitimate vision for the company, regardless of how the Wii U sold. He'll be genuinely missed.

 

[Hitokiri03]

RIP

 

[Leon Raycloud]

The industry has lost a great man, that will never be replaced.

Rest in peace Iwata-san, nintendo won´t be the same without you.

Can someone help me with this? I would truly appreciate it.

 

[Wasp]

RIP Iwata.

 

[TomShoe]

That's a shot off guard.

First my sister's deadbeat husband, now this

 

[SuperOrez]

I'm so sad right now.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

I remember meeting him at the first E3 I got to go to, which was also my first year in the game industry. RIP, Iwata. Let's not forget how awesome you have been for Nintendo overall.

Can someone edit this onto my avatar, please?

 

[br3wnor]

Ok, that one got me a little misty, cancer takes another legend, RIP

 

[Celine]

Does Reggie Fils-aime take is place

I hope not!

 

[Chibits12]

He'll surely be missed, doesn't matter what console you play. RIP, Mr. Iwata.

 

[woopWOOP]

Is there a better place or is this okay?

Nah, this incredibly awesome, thank you for doing this :]

 

[jamesinclair]

I cant believe this

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I'm shocked. Holy shit I'm really sad

Rest in peace.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

I don't think that card was ever actually acknowledged.

I'm pretty sure I remember *someone* at NoA last year mentioning /v/'s, GAF's and any other site's 'Get Well' cards (I'm assuming at least a couple sub-Reddits made one) getting received and they were going to try and forward them to Iwata.

 

[princemarth23]

This is really sad ):

Rest in peace Mr. Iwata.

 

[Lionel Richie]

This got me real good. Rest in peace man, thank you so much for the Directs.

 

[Lamiafusion]

RIP Iwata. May you have all the time to play games in the afterlife.

 

[Insane Metal]

Holy shit this is so sad

Good bye, Iwata. You will be missed, legend.


Google trans. :

What does that say?

I have just been informed that died Satoru Iwata, one of the most vicious proponents of various nintendos.

 

[rugioh]

Jeeeeeeeesus... RIP. Can't believe it.

 

[Linkhero1]

Wow...I don't know what to say. Just woke up from a nap to this and feel gutted.

 

[Vena]

RIP.

Does Reggie Fils-aime take is place

Miyamoto most likely will step up in the interim.

They must have been ready for this, though, at the top.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Do they even have someone remotely close to fill his shoes? Miyamoto would not be a good choice.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Shit, now I kinda wish I hadn't sold my Ness amiibo

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Always loved this image.

 

[Somnia]

Polygon can stick it

I haven't given them a click in years. now I'm gonna make sure I never will

?????

 

[PushDustIn]

Not sure if anyone from the SmashGaf chat reposted it, but we translated Sakurai's tweet:

“The president of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata has passed away. He was my former employer, but even when my situation and location changed, he was always the most understanding [of me and my work]. A hard worker and a virtuous man, he always supplied me with quick, fair guidance. I believe that he was the greatest leader I could have imagined. May you rest in peace.”

I'm really sad right now.

 

[kuhnbeast91]

This is so sad,I actually don't know what to think. This is a huge loss for the video game industry. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

 

[Gattsu25]

Oh my God

RIP

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Wow, can't really believe it. Didn't believe it when I read it...really wasn't expecting it. I knew he was having health problems but thought he was getting better.

I don't really know what to say, very sudden.

RIP Mr. Iwata, you will be missed in this industry. Another great person leaving this life too soon.

 

[jony_m]

rip Iwata, what a sad day

 

[koutoru]

I really liked his 2011 GDC keynote. Will be missed.

 

[wild wild rice]

Now if only Iwata could be a guest on Ryan Davis' Giant Heavencast ;_;

Ryan and Satoru are the two "celebrity" deaths that have hit me hardest, ever.

I don't even know what to do right now. Play Earthbound for the first time? Didn't he have a significant role in that game's development?

You should probably get on this.

 

[Mr.Fusion]

RIP

 

[Gasian]

May you RIP Iwata.

 

[V-Faction]

 

[callhitman]

RIP

 

[tryagainlater]

That is awful. RIP.

 

[Semblance]

Damn.

 

[Tablo]

I feel weak wow, can't believe it
RIP Iwata

 

[Azelover]

He took on too many challenges, and would hardly write something off completely. That I believe has contributed to a lot of stress.

RIP Iwata.

 

[patientx]

Rest In Peace Mr. Iwata.

Today gaming world lost one of its pillars.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Jesus.

I suppose we should've seen this coming; he had been sitting out a few E3s and there were all the doctor visits we'd heard about, but... I didn't realize it was that bad.

I mean, I was worried about Miyamoto's health, so Iwata dying's kinda blindsided me. Damn.

 

[Giever]

Wow, this really surprised me. I thought he was getting better. Holy shit, no more Iwata Asks, no more Iwata. Crap.

 

[Radian8]

Utterly shocked by this

RIP

 

[orrible]

Wow...stunned. RIP Iwata-san.
