I am devastated by this. I am a lifelong Star Trek fan, and didn't even feel this bad after Nimoy died. I don't think I even knew who Iwata was until SSB4 was announced, and here I am crying. What an amazing legacy he leaves! The world has lost a great man.

This news is a tragic one for just about any person who has picked up a video games controller in their life. But lets never forget the man who he was nor what he always strive for in his day to day to day work.


Here is an Iwata ribbon.


Let me know if you'd like one on your avatar.
I'd very much like one

Instead of us mourning him why don't we celebrate his life, his achievements and his legacy? We should be celebrating that he is off to do bigger and better things instead of crying that he's gone. He is on to the next level and a man is never truly dead unless he's forgotten and through us, Iwata is immortalized.

Satoru Iwata has not truly died, for he lives on in all of our hearts and memories. He will not be forgotten. He gave us some truly amazing games and was a fantastic person. I would have loved to meet him in real life.

May he rest in peace.
