R.I.P. Mr Iwata.

So that's why he didn't come to E3. They said he was busy but probably he was very sick.

He worked on some of my favourite games I'm sure. The mother series and possibly Eggerland (he worked for HAL before Nintendo). Some quick googling turned up this list http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/Satoru_Iwata but in most of it he is just the Executive Producer.

He died on Saturday peacefully with family from what I had read.

RIP, Iwata-san.   :'(

He was so uniquely qualified to head Nintendo.  It's such a shame he passed so young.

Very, very sad.

For the last 5 years or so for me he was this nice man who just happened to be the CEO of a huge corporation. It's so unbelievable when you think about it that he and Reggie, both CEOs,
starred together in a video where they fought like it was a movie. In that 3DS trailer. When Iwata held the bananas... He was anything but the typical "suit" we think of when we think of CEOs.
And even if I didn't love Nintendo since childhood, anyone's death is sad (with a few exceptions) and Iwata was only 55 which is no age at all to die at.

I hope his legacy lives on and that Nintendo will continue his tradition of being open, fun and approachable.

I've seen so many legitimately touching things in memory of him on the internet these past two days. For as much flack hardcore Nintendo fans get, it sure is nice to see that proven wrong. RIP.
I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat

But he just released a new album!  And two new, amazing music videos!  I was listening to him all weekend!

I can't parse a world without David Bowie right now :'(

Rip the goblin king. My favorite track by him was fascination.
