Woah. What? I can't believe it.

RIP will never forget what you done.

Wow. That was unexpected. I thought it was not really that reason. RIP.

The end of an era. RIP.

WHAAAAAAAAAAT?

I need a moment...

 

[Verder]

Holy shit.

This hurts

Ah fuck


Oh shit


No

 

[Credo]

Thank you for the memories, Iwata. Rest in peace.

 

[IAmtheFMan]

Holy crap.

 

[ANuclearError]

RIP

Iwata was an inspiration, from a programmer to president of Nintendo. Feel crap about this.

 

[RoboPlato]

Wow, I thought his health was improving too. RIP.

 

[DonMigs85]

What the hell, I feel really bad. All that stress over the Wii U certainly didn't help

If you haven't seen this, you should watch it.

This made me feel better, thanks

 

[pablito]

...fuck

RIP Mr Iwata

 

[TDLink]

Absolutely shocked.

Very saddening. I honestly can't believe it.

 

[StoveOven]

Video games are so new as a medium that we've experienced very few deaths. Most of the greats are still alive. However, over the past few year's, some of those early designers have started to pass. It will be interesting to see how the industry reacts and honors some of these men in the upcoming decade.

 

[BLCKATK]

Wow, I am truly shocked. A true hero in the industry. Rest in peace.

 

[Sandfox]

This is so crazy.

 

[FlyingSaucer]

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

Bile duct cancer seems to be tricky, alas

 

[Burning Justice]

Oh my God.

RIP

 

[HIUHAU]

Shocked. RIP.

 

[moltonasty]

Omg. This news hit me hard. I seriously cannot believe this. I had no idea he was unwell. RIP

 

[Liquid_015]

This came out of left field. Im in shock. I thought this was troll thread. RIP Iwata.

 

[Majine]

Omfg, I can't believe this. Outta nowhere.

Rest in peace.

Man.

 

[Gigamear]

With the industry as young as it is, seeing important figures like Iwata pass away is unfortunately a trend that we'll all be forced to accept with the coming years.

Ryan Davis is a another poignant example of a death coming way too soon.

 

[rikichi]

FUCK ME! OMG I AM SO SAD

RIP

 

[zephyrsquall]

Rest in peace. You brought joy to your loved ones and many fans around the world. My condolences to the Iwata family

 

[LostAnkh]

This caught me completely off guard. I didn't really know a lot of what he's done for Nintendo before I got a Wii, but this thread is bringing that out into the light (thanks by the way). He's done a lot that I haven't respected until now, so I offer my condolences to his family.

 

[Darksora250]

RIP Mr. Iwata :/

 

[beanman25]

Could someone add this to my avatar also?

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Can't say I had that much of a connection to him and still feel emotional and how his loss impacts the community and industry.

As others have mentioned uncanny how those views/replies are neck in neck. This is some shit right here.

 

[googly]

Wow, I'm pretty shocked, RIP.

 

[Elfforkusu]

RIP.

 

[Brew124]

Absolute worst news to see. I'm so upset..

RIP

 

[Miburou]

Wow, such sad news. RIP Iwata-san.

 

[Naminator]

I've never been a Nintendo fan and never a fan of Iwata, but it's sad to see someone like him go at such a young age.

Take care Mr. Iwata, your contributions to gaming shall not be forgotten.

 

[jb1234]

RIP.

 

[Elman]

Wow R.I.P. Seemed like he spent the last years of his life doing something he loved.

Indeed...It's comforting to know that he followed his passion to the very end. He will be missed.

 

[Khrysler Jerikho]

Damn.

Rest in Peace Iwata-san
