Wow what the fuck?
May he rest in peace.

Honestly, I don't think you can ever really prepare yourself for something like this. No matter how much you know it's coming, a part of you will always hope for even 1 more day. It's not an entirely rational thing, so you can't ever be completely prepared
Fantastic work.I drew a memorial picture.
I honestly think his cancer was terminal and he didn't want the world to know. He never really got cured and just went about his business. The same thing happened to Steve Job, his cancer was terminal, but he told the world it was "hormonal imbalances" that caused his weight loss. When you have a sudden weight loss due to cancer thats it, no chemo will save you. It makes sense about having puppets in thr Nintendo E3 and Iwata not shown anywhere. The man was extremely ill and wanted to be with his family in his last moments.
Edit: can I also get a ribbon memorial for my avatar. Much appreciated, GAF.
He seemed like the kind of person that didn't take himself too seriously. Someone that knew when to lighten up.
Rest in peace, Satoru Iwata.
It's really sad to see a man with such a strong legacy go and I hate to think the failure of the Wii U and the shareholder pressure may have contributed to his ailing health.
What makes it even more sad is that he made some surprising and bold moves in the last years with the new PR approach (Nintedo Direct/Treehouse Live) and partnership with DeNa.
In addition, regarding the possibility of making all titles available on Virtual Console, I can say that it is possible for Nintendo titles with a few exceptions, since we generally have the intellectual property rights for such titles. However, as to third-party software publishers titles, if they are producing the software based on a license from another copyright holder, for example, we may not be able to easily use the same title for the system that exists now because we do not have a license from the copyright holder at the time. This often becomes a problem with reruns of TV shows or Internet broadcasting. Therefore, since we can only release Virtual Console titles of third-party software publishers if they come to an agreement with the copyrights holders upon negotiating terms and conditions that were not included in their original contract, please understand that there are some titles that we cannot easily release despite many requests. We will make our best efforts to satisfy our consumers with our Virtual Console title lineup.
Relax. evilore said not derail the thread with logo talk. They'll do something. But we all just got the news.GAF logo hasn't changed yet?
Reminds me of when Nintendo gave relief support after the 2011 earthquake but didn't make an announcement or a big deal about it.As someone who has lost someone incredibly important to me to Cancer, I'll conur that it's a cruel, unpredictable beast. You can learn the hard way that 'remission' just means 'We don't see it anymore' and not 'We beat it forever!'. Iwata may have known he'd be unable to beat it and that his days were numbered, and opted to make what time he had left about what he loved rather than casting a light on his own plight.
Sometimes people just want to live out their time without being defined by their illness.
I'm glad to see such an outpouring of love and compassion not only in remembrance of Satoru Iwata and his legacy, but also among the community for all of those whose lives were deeply affected by Nintendo's games, past or present. It goes to show that for all the bickering and fighting we normally engage in, we are still a community that can be brought together, not only in mourning, but through the celebration of a great man who gave us all so much happiness over the years.
He definitely knew he was loved. The community made sure of that when they heard he was ill last year
