Hear is a song

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

I do hope Shiggy and mr. Takeda will manage the company well after him.

I do hope Shiggy and mr. Takeda will manage the company well after him.

They're only replacing him until they find a successor. Although I also hope the same thing.

But if Nintendo wants another Iwata, that may take forever

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I wonder why I never heard about the Therizinosaurus when I was young

It is a cool, weird looking dinosaur

They really should add it to the next Jurassic Park/ World

 

[Frostwraith]

Just booting up my Smash 3DS game. I'll be playing as my Iwata Mii Sword Fighter (modeled exactly after the one shown in the Reggie vs. Iwata trailer) to honor him.

 

[Strofirko]

Feels bad man,he struggled and died too young.

 

[Frostwraith]

Played on the Balloon Fighter stage as Iwata's Mii in a 4-way FFA with items against 3 Lv9 CPUs. :')

This is the best tribute I could give to him.

 

[FalKoopa]

I'm not. I get over celebrity deaths quickly. Doesn't take away it's still really sad.

To be honest, I'm not really sure why I cried. This is literally the first time I shed a tear over a celebrity's death, and especially odd since I haven't felt this sad even if a local or national celebrity passed away. I guess I liked his presentations and his Engrish just that much.

I loved to imitate his Engrish, to be honest. The first time I watched a Nintendo Direct, that often grabbed my attention even more than the games themselves. It had a certain charm, I guess. "Please Understand" - I would kill to hear that.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Iwata cared a lot about its audience.

That's more than anyone can say about most celebrities...

Probably because he had an impact on your life. He had an impact on a lot of gamers, even if we didn't know him, he was still an invaluable part of our lives.

 

[Kirbyfan391]

I'm a bit sad over Iwata's death. But am pretty much over it. I pretty much don't cry for deaths tbh. I'd cry for a family death before I do for any celebrity.

On the bright side, at least all the people wanting Iwata to resign will shut up now...

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Too soon, buddy.

Waaaay too soon.

 

[Frostwraith]

It makes so much sense, it hurts.

 

[Kirbyfan391]

Too soon, buddy.

Waaaay too soon.

Wasn't meant to be disrespectful.

 

[TJ-Works]

It makes so much sense, it hurts.

This really sucks... I wonder how everyone would've felt if we knew he was slowly dying beforehand...

 

[Frostwraith]

Iwata likely didn't want us to know, so we wouldn't be worried, but I'm pretty sure he knew at one point that he wouldn't survive the illness.

He was dedicated to the very end.

 

[FalKoopa]

I'm wondering if it was a bad idea for Nintendo to keep his poor health under wraps.

 

[_gold_]

Yup, that's the last straw. I'm going into mourning now after reading that.

 

[Trick or Treat]

It makes me sad thinking about how his last month was filled with backlash and hate from E3.

 

[TJ-Works]

I'm wondering if it was a bad idea for Nintendo to keep his poor health under wraps.

We knew he was ill and what the illness was, so they weren't keeping us in the dark completely. It's not a positive thought to think of with Nintendo, so it was probably for the best.

There is something we have to remember in Iwata's farewell though.

There was a photo taken today of a rainbow over Nintendo's HQ. He's kind of guy who wants us to be happy, even in his departure.

 

[RamOne]

I'm wondering if it was a bad idea for Nintendo to keep his poor health under wraps.

I'm sure it was requested by Iwata and his family himself. If you know you're gonna die, you want to die in peace with your family around you and not having weeping Nintendo-fans visit you every minute because they want to thank you in person before you die.

Looking back at it now, this tribute to Mario is much more special now. We become so greedy, only wanting more and more games. It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality of the games. Nintendo has only, and always made fun games. Iwata was at the helm of it. He was a great inspiration to the entire gaming community, and gamers around the globe.

Mr. Iwata is on Rainbow Road now. That's a great picture...

Maaaaaaaaaaan Im really soaking up here. So beautiful.

 

[Neo Zero]

It makes me sad thinking about how his last month was filled with backlash and hate from E3.

And knowing Iwata, even during all that and him feeling sick, he STILL worked hard for the fan base and Nintendo with a determined smile on his face. He's the living personification of true strength.

 

[PigglyJuff]

Da feels are killing me.

What about Genyo Takeda tho?

 

[Strofirko]

Iwataboards.

 

[Silvera]

Well, they haven't decided who yet so that's a heads up.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Iwataboards.

Too freaking good :')

 

[Tangamanga]

Idk, wasn't there talk about miyamoto wanting to retire?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Here's a pre-E3 2015 article

The last sentence tore me up

 

[smokebomb12]

Look at the smashboards logo.

 

[Deleted member]

We Iwata Boards now.

 

[Tangamanga]

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Look at the smashboards logo.

It's beautiful

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Yeah, same here.

This may be a sign saying he made it

Not gonna lie, I laughed. I might be a terrible person.
