Fils-A-Mech punched him in the face upon hearing that X will not be releasing in 2014 in NA.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Come on Reggie, step up!

 

[luca_aros]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO00000000000000000oooooooooooooooooo

Spoiler

bet its a lie...and he comes out as link

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

*Iwata Coughs*

I made myself feel sad.

 

[Currygan]

all the stress has finally taken a toll on him

get well soon, Iwata-san. There's at least one fan here who would miss you

 

[RiggyRob]

Damn, he doesn't look particularly well in that picture. What's Miyamoto holding?

 

[Lambtron]

That's too bad. I find him very charming and like him a lot. I hope he gets better soon.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm gonna not respond like he's dying. But yeah that sucks. Iwata is the bomb.

 

[MagiusNecros]

His body isn't ready for the gigatons that Nintendo will drop this E3.

Clearly. More powerful then megatons.

 

[Revven]

Iwata

Get well soon, pleaseee.

 

[AdanVC]

Noooo! :'( Health above ANYTHING, no matter if you are the CEO of a big company, health is first. Hope he get's better soon. All the best, Mr. Iwata.

So that's why we probably haven't seen it on Nintendo Directs and Iwata Asks lately... damn

 

[Tripon]

His body is failing me.

We will rebuild him, Make him stronger, faster.

He will be the $6 million dollar Satoru.

 

[SephiZack]

Hope it isn't anything serious

 

[Castcoder]

Damn, he doesn't look particularly well in that picture. What's Miyamoto holding?

A PS4.

 

[thekonamicode]

Damn, he doesn't look particularly well in that picture. What's Miyamoto holding?

A bag filled with E3 2013 secrets.

 

[Ishan]

hope he's alright.

 

[random25]

Get well soon Mr. Iwata.

 

[fredrancour]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO00000000000000000oooooooooooooooooo

Yup, their designated corporate GAF-lurker fell in love with the coffin gif and encouraged some theatrics.

Legend of Zelda: something something undead link.

 

[RE_Player]

Oh no

 

[Ludist210]

I hope he recovers from whatever is ailing him.

This sucks ass. So who will replace his speech?

I hope this doesn't sound too rude, but just about anyone on NoA's staff would be better than Iwata. He's just not a good presenter to non-Japanese speaking audiences.

 

[donkey show]

This sucks ass. So who will replace his speech?

Luigi

 

[Mung]

Get well soon Iwata San

 

[jmdajr]

In other words, I suspect stress, lots of it

yup

 

[Dr. Buni]

I hope he gets better. Thankfully the Digital Event is pre-recorded, it would feel weird without him otherwise.

He's just not a good presenter to non-Japanese speaking audiences.

I like his presentations.

 

[Carl]

QoL isn't that far ahead it seems then

LOL wow

 

[Village]

Reggie in full force this year.

 

[Castcoder]

I hope he recovers from whatever is ailing him.
I hope this doesn't sound too rude, but just abotu anyone on NoA's staff would be better than Iwata. He's just not a good presenter to non-Japanese speaking audiences.

Reggie isn't much better. He's a very awkward public speaker.

 

[MisterHero]

Get well soon Mr. Iwata! Despite Nintendo's tribulations, I think he'd still be excited for E3.

 

[kiguel182]

Hopefully he recorded something for the digital event, if not he will be missed.

Health comes first of course.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Feel better Iwata

 

[TheDarkLink]

Best Wishes, Mr. Iwata!!!

 

[Nintentoast]

Noooooooo! Who's going to help me understand?

 

[Kane1345]

Best wishes Mr Iwata

 

[Arkanius]

yup

Trying to shift a giant juggernaut into a new age must be stressful.
Is Nintendo still hemorrhaging money?

Reminds me of my Football club. The President when trying to restructure the debt of the club and make the club grow again, was prohibited to view the games due stress reasons.

Hopeful it's just that

 

[maquiladora]

Hope it's not serious.

It's not like he is really needed at E3 though, there is no press conference and the digital event is pre-recorded. No need to risk travel if there are health issues.

 

[Exterminieren]

Hope he's alright, and it's nothing too serious.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Feel better Mr. Iwata san

 

[Sectorseven]

He technically has two jobs right now, doesn't he?

 

[Asbear]

In other words, I suspect stress, lots of it

Yeah, this last.. well, not even half a year, must have been really tough on him. It would be stressful for anybody to have made so much and then be the one to bear the burden when you see it all crumble.

 

[Hoagmaster]

That's a huge shame. We're pulling for you, Iwata!

 

[Nerokis]

Eesh. I hope it's nothing serious.

 

[Enforced]

Get well soon, Iwata.

 

[Castcoder]

Noooooooo! Who's going to help me understand?

He has taught you well. Now go onward and please your understanding from here on forth.

 

[Condemned]

I hope he gets better soon.

 

[DieH@rd]

This sucks ass. So who will replace his speech?

What speech? Nintendo Digital Event is a pre-taped show that is filmed in Japan [Iwata's parts], most probably with already fully finished production.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Get well asap, Iwata-san.

Do you realize what you've done?

Trying to get the "lol so funny we are done here" first post just like any other neogaf member? I mean it wasn't funny, but c'mon, a lot of users do this shit.

 

[Katsuragi]

Get well soon, Iwata.

 

[Caramello]

Not going to be the same without him.. Hope he's better soon!

 

[MadAboutEwe]

He got in the way of one too many death stares from Mario Kart Luigi.

 

[Exterminieren]

With my considerations and well-wishing out of the way...

...Please god tell me this doesn't mean we're getting sick Iwata stumbling through his stilted English lines. D:
