Satoru Iwata dies

[Hurray Banana]

little bit sad. He should of stood down and spent the time he had on something other than Nintendo.

R.I.P. Iwata-san. Thoughts are with his family right now. It's a terribly sad day for the gaming world in general. 55 is too young to go.

Very very sad to read about his passing. He seemed like a genuinely lovely and humble guy, not often do you hear about a CEO halving their wage to avoid staff layoffs.

RIP Iwata-san, thanks for the memories!

Really sad news.

As much as I love Sega for their racing games, I was a Nintendo through and through in my youth.
At least we have good memories of him.
I always looked forward to the E3 specials, they were great!

R.I.P Mr Iwata
