Rest in peace, and thank you for all the fun.

Rest in Peace! Gone far too soon.

Didn't expect to be in tears today, holy cow.

[Vinc]

Devastating. Deepest condolences to his family, friends, coworkers, and everyone who knew him.

What a loss for the industry. He can never be replaced.

 

[L95]

What the fuck

Fuck

 

[Saikyo]

Rest in Peace.

 

[Enk]

Wow, such an early, tragic, and great loss. He always came across as a caring guy who put his all into what he did. Sad to see him go so soon. He will always be remembered.

[Chamber]

Whoa...

Out of nowhere, I guess that's how it happens some times. RIP Mr. Iwata.

 

[DrForester]

E3 puppets is a great final performance by the man.

 

[LordCanti]

[Resilient]

...
Devastating news...we all believed he was getting better??

[GuardianE]

[Error]

wtf, no way!! what happened?

rip

 

[Croash]

Terrible news Rest in peace.

 

[morukutsu]

I'm legit shocked, almost cried. Rest in peace Iwata-san.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I'm so saddened by this news. Legit tears here. Iwata always appeared so gentle and kind on camera. Even when times were tough and the hard questions came, he seemed so sincere in his beliefs about the industry and Nintendo's role in it. No matter what you thought of their strategy, this is a tremendous loss for Nintendo and gaming.

Rest in peace, Iwata.

 

[Noobcraft]

Thank you for everything Iwata. RIP.

 

[zigg]

RIP, Mr. Iwata.

 

[Ricerocket]

What the fuck? Knew that he was sick but thought he was fine now and then this...

RIP.

 

[KevinG]

A sad sad day for gamers and the world alike. Will be praying for his family.

 

[Pankratous]

What the hell? Didn't even know he was unwell!

 

[Joe Prodigy]

Holy moly. Terrible news. :-(

 

[Auctopus]

Would someone mind adding that ribbon to my avatar? I'm terrible at photoshop, sorry.

 

[Bass260]

What....oh my god. Iwata, thanks for carrying the Nintendo torch. You will be missed.

Rest in Peace.

 

[Halabane]

Just shocked. Sad beyond belief. I have tears in my eyes. Sympathy to his family who probably have been going through a tough year with his sickness.

Thank you Satoru Iwata. You have done well while on this planet.

Namaste

It was even detected early and it still wasnt enough.

 

[darkjedi187]

Just saw this and did a WTF! So sad.

 

[Supermanisdead]

rip

 

[Sai-kun]

Holy shit

I'm at a loss

RIP bro. <3 <3 <3

This is kinda legit upsetting

 

[rjinaz]

Appreciate that.

 

[Stencil]

... Holy shit

 

[Geg]

Man that's awful. I thought he was supposedly getting better too.

I can't even download the pdf in the first post, lots of people must be trying to get that

 

[Candeldandel]

Oh my god. I can't... believe it I'm heartbroken...

 

[Lothars]

RIP, He will be missed.

 

[Dennis]

 

[Interface23]

RIP you beautiful man. I am scared for Nintendo now, he was one of the only ones that fought to keep its soul.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

This is horrible, especially since it seemed like his surgery went off without a hitch.

RIP, you'll be missed.

 

[kunonabi]

RIP Mr. Iwata. I'm not sure what else to say. Iwata always seemed like a genuine guy who really "got" games and what they represent. Hopefully his passion will live on with all of us.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Yeah... I forget how death just sweeps in out of nowhere sometimes


RIP

 

[fwpx]
