[Captain Rage Quit 69]

My condolences to all of his friends and family. It's really difficult to imagine a Nintendo without him but I suppose the signs were there.

Shoot, now I feel awful about all those times everyone was ripping on him for whatever. Rest in piece Mr. Iwata, you will be dearly missed.

Thanks for fixing Pokemon Gold and Silver version btw, we still love you for that one.

 

[ExMachina]

Oh no.

Rest in peace.

[Aarglefarg]

Yeesh, I did a double take when I saw the thread title. I was racking my brains to remember another Satoru Iwata because I felt sure it couldn't be him.

RIP

I first thought it said Satoru Shibata for three seconds.

 

[TONX]

WHAT! I thought he was doing better?

RIP.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

RIP! IWATA.. Mannnn

 

[Smellycat]

I don't know how I am going to react to the next Nintendo Direct

He has been such a big part of our gaming lives

 

[Anteo]

I was listening to this when I got the news. It hit me hard....

 

[Drago]

Oh my god. I can't beleive this... it's gonna be a while before reality sets in that he actually passed. I'm completely shocked.

Rest in peace. He will be sorely missed.

 

[MaverickHunterX]

Iwata-sensei, I might not have always agreed with your politics, but I wished you better than this. May you find peace in the next world and godbless.

 

[Dryk]

I dread to think about the next Nintendo Direct, I don't know if anyone will be able to do it with the warmth and charm of Iwata

Between Iwata Asks, Directs and all the other things we're going to be feeling this loss hard for a long time

 

[backflip10019]

Oh man, what a loss. RIP. Just awful.
