    Wow, there are actually idiots who say things like "LOL Iwata's dead now, who will lead you now you Nintendo fanboys!". Fucking pathetic.

    I've been away from the internet for a few days and I just skimmed through the statuses on favslist today and I see this? At first I thought it was a bad joke, a new meme or something, but it really is true. Iwata has actually passed away... Damn... I really thought he beat the disease a few months back. He was still too young... A damn shame...

    Even though I think he made a fair deal of strange, to say the least, decisions while running Nintendo (even when those decisions payed off in a big way for the company), he was a brave man to go through with his decisions and he was and will remain a legend of the gaming industry. He has my respect.

    My condolences go out to his family, friends and fans alike.

    May you rest in peace Iwata-san and may your creativity continue to run wild up there!

    "Mr. Iwata is gone, but it will be years before his impact on both Nintendo and the full video game industry will be fully appreciated. He was a strong leader for our company, and his attributes were clear to most everyone: Intelligence, creativity, curiosity and sense of humor. But for those of us fortunate enough to work closely with him, what will be remembered most were his mentorship and, especially, his friendship. He was a wonderful man. He always challenged us to push forward…to try the new…to upset paradigms—and most of all, to engage, excite and endear our fans. That work will continue uninterrupted." - #Reggie Fils-Aime

    :'( I'm sorry guys, this is just too much...

      Editing … Hopefully the one Iwata would have wanted. "The entire development team at Nintendo will remain committed to our development policy which Mr. Iwata and we have been constructing together and to yield the development results which Mr. Iwata would appreciate." - Miyamoto; "Just as Mr Iwata challenged us to always push forward, we will ensure his legacy lives on through our ongoing work to always surprise and delight our fans." - Shibata, NoE president

    "Satoru Iwata will also be remembered for his humour and humility when fulfilling his role as Nintendo President. Iwata-san pioneered a new attitude for the company in which it communicated with fans, with the series of Nintendo Direct videos being a prime example. Iwata-san repeatedly demonstrated his love for Nintendo's heritage, gaming and its fans through broadcasts such as these, imbuing the company with an enhanced sense of humanity to accompany its unique software output.

    Throughout his leadership of Nintendo Iwata-san placed accessibility, fun, innovation and inclusivity at the core of the company's mission statement. While this mainstream approach proved lucrative in the DS and Wii era, it still remained a key goal even in more challenging times. During Iwata-san's tenure Nintendo portrayed a light-hearted approach to an increasingly noisy and cut-throat business, defying projections and criticisms to continue on its own course and to deliver products that it believes in." - Thomas Whitehead, #Nintendolife

    I've been so fucking devastated since the news broke... This is so unfair. Such a bright, ambitious, talented man who brought joy to video game fans for decades. He's gone far too soon. Rest in peace, sweet prince.
