[Nintendotard]

i'm more worried about who will take his place. :/

that is seriously nothing to be concerned about right now...

 

[Aurane]

Rest in peace Iwata. You were a good man.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

One of the great men who brought Nintendo to where it is today....Hiroshi Yamauchi himself even believed that he left Nintendo in goods hands upon stepping down with Iwata taking his place. He was correct.

Godspeed....

 

[Space Stranger]

The next president may not have the same magic Iwata puts into his way of working at Nintendo but I'm sure the next president has a similar touch with both fans and developers, alike.

 

[Mythra]

I don't want to understand, I just want to think this is just a nightmre or something

 

[Arcanir]

Rest in Peace Mr. Iwata, thank you for all of the years you've given to Nintendo and the fans that loved you.

 

[Deleted member]

Whoever it is, they shall take his legacy.

 

[Blossom ✿]

Wait wha--
Iwata died...? Rest in peace Iwata, rest in peace... you will be missed...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Wow its almost like my friend died again. Hurts just as bad too

 

[The-Power-Within]

I legitimately haven't been this sad since Robin Williams died...god damn it.

Rest in Peace, Satoru Iwata.

 

[Trick or Treat]

I just don't know what to say...

This is just very surreal.

 

[Jaedrik]

Well, people die every day, but...

He gave so many good games to this world.

Requiescat in pace
I'll sing a miserere for him.

 

[Still~Wolf]

my depression is real right now.
don't even like posting my very appropriate Killua gif for this.
damn.

 

[Exaggeratedhonesty]

Reggie will probably have to step up as the face of Nintendo, but I wonder how they would decide who to fill Iwata's position. It will probably be a while til they decide, and it will probably be someone we barely know. I can only hope they choose the right man.

in the arms of an angel...

...

I'm having the same reaction as with Robin William's death. And he was only 55.

There's been too many big names dying ever since 2014.

Yeah... but he killed himself. :/

 

[Soul.]

Who's going to keep talking about NX? Who will tell if something is right and wrong at Nintendo? What kind of direction will they face? ...

 

[Digital Hazard]

I'll go hear some Midna's Lament right now... It's fitting for the occasion

R.I.P. Satoru Iwata, may your legacy prevail, and you're still alive in the hearts of Nintendo fans.

 

[Tangamanga]

Well, people die every day, but...

He gave so many good games to this world.

Requiescat in pace
I'll sing a miserere for him.

It's just always so sad when it's due to a sickness /accident

 

[TJ-Works]

Who's going to keep talking about NX? Who will tell if something is right and wrong at Nintendo? What kind of direction will they face? ...

That's not for us to decide, nor should it be what to think about right now.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Who's going to keep talking about NX?

Is that literally the first thing you think of

 

[Luggy]

Life is like a hurricane. It goes out in an instant and causes lots of damage.
Rest in peace Satoru Iwata, may your name be remembered by every Nintendo fan.

Satoru Iwata, December 6th 1959 - July 13th 2015
"Please understand."​

 

[Soul.]

Yes.....
Him being gone is a million times more important than hardware.

 

[RamOne]

Wow, that was unexpected... Thank you, Mr. Iwata, for everything and may you rest in peace.

R.I.P.

 

[Silvera]

Of all people, why Mr. Iwata?

RIP Mr. President...

Correction: He actually died yesterday. But that just makes it even worse .

 

[Exaggeratedhonesty]

wait, we can use the hardware to bring him back! THEN HE'LL NEVER BREAK AGAIN!

...

and now i feel bad...

 

[Mythra]

I went to the kitchen to get some water and I saw a pile of bananas I bought some days ago.... I literally broke in tears

This HURTS A LOT

 

[Frostwraith]

I was about to go to sleep when my brother told me the news. This is really sad.

RIP Iwata.

 

[TJ-Works]

Man, people who are asleep right now won't be happy to wake up to this news, (Falkoopa).

 

[Deleted member]

I was playing NSMBU at the time of the announcement.
This is bad...

 

[aldelaro5]

So, Sakurai has already said his condolence....

http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/12/mr-satoru-iwata-has-passed-away/

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.

.....guys, i am crying now.....

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

wait, we can use the hardware to bring him back! THEN HE'LL NEVER BREAK AGAIN!

...

and now i feel bad...

God damn it

 

[Still~Wolf]

Man, people who are asleep right now won't be happy to wake up to this news, (Falkoopa).

yeah.
shoot.

 

[Soul.]

...

and now i feel bad...

tbh i only mentioned NX because that's something they were developing. whoever thinks "that's the first thing I was thinking of" is a fool (in a meh way). yes.
i don't care what they think.

 

[Space Stranger]

Of course GameFAQs is being cancerous as usual regarding his death by making stupid jokes. It's one thing to taunt him when he was alive but a whole new level of low to taunt him after his passing.

These people are what we call the scum of the earth.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

Oh gosh....
The internet is exploding with the news. This just makes me more depressed...

 

[kylexv]

Thank Iwata for Earthbound. Without him, it would probably not be the classic that it came to be.
No crying until the end

 

[Digital Hazard]

Man, people who are asleep right now won't be happy to wake up to this news, (Falkoopa).

@FalKoopa http://www.polygon.com/2015/7/12/8940053/nintendo-president-satoru-iwata-is-dead
Just to inform you already, man.

 

[-crump-]

A great man with great ideas has passed away tonight.

Who's endless dedication to the industry has brought us countless joy, even in our darkest days.

We didn't just lose a businessman today.
We lost a hero.
We lost an icon.

Thanks, Iwata.
Thank you for everything.

 

[Pyra]

The man always seemed so spry and happy.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Oh gosh....
The internet is exploding with the news. This just makes me more depressed...

All we can do if remember him, and I'll do that by playing a **** ton of mario kart

behind these tears
