Amazing. Makes me want to fly out there just for this. He will be missed.

While others are doing ribbons and other various things, I think it is best to put the spotlight on Iwatas integrity when it came to gaming. From the business side to developer side, he wasnt shaped by events but shaped them.
Honestly, Im so shocked by the news that I cannot summon up words to say things. Anything I imagine I could say would seem so inadequate. Its all such a damn shame.
When I think of Iwata, I think of class. I have read nearly every word Iwata has said to the public for almost a decade. Never did he say anything disparaging of another, never did he sound pessimistic, and never did he crap on anyone. As gamers, Iwata represented the best things we loved about Nintendo. But as a businessman, he represented the best things about business.
Why does it feel that we lost a friend today?

Well, although I doubt it WOULD have happened with Yamauchi, you do have to admit that these channels didn't exist at all back when Yamauchi was president. Social media wasn't even a thing back then.
That's really nice, sadly Amazon UK is the only Amazon that did that.
We made it, GAF
I'm gonna stop by later to sign. It's going to be tough walking up to that...
This got me as well.Alright, this one got me.

One last time for today I want to give my deepest condolences to his family and friends. My wife and me lit this candle together with all his childs in memory and honor of Satoru.
R.I.P.
I really wish I was in New York right now.sorry if this was posted already, Nintendo World Store has a memorial set up:

I don't remember all these fan comics/art for Yamauchi.
Oh, absolutely - Nintendo and their competitors were largely beholden to print media and the occasional early website to get the word out back then. I can think of some plausible mechanisms toward the very end of his tenure (CDs with video, etc.) but for the most part the infrastructure just wasn't there.
I think that an Iwata Asks-esque feature could have plausibly run in Nintendo Power or similar, but from what I know of him Yamauchi himself would not have run the interviews himself. My recollection is that he didn't play or enjoy games much himself, though I'm having a hard time finding an explicit citation for that.
I really wish I was in New York right now.

I wish he could stick around a bit longer, to see the NX launch.
