				This makes me very sad.  I will have more verbose thoughts in the morning.

				I was shocked to see this when I logged onto the internet. 
 RIP Mr. Iwata, you were a true giant and visionary in the gaming world, you were always such a gracious person whenever you greeted fans. You will be missed.
 
 My condolences to his friends and family

				I was truly saddened by the news of his death. A man of his talent, and he leaves us all too soon. 
 And what also concerns me is wondering who will take the reins at Nintendo.

				Way to young to die, he was only 55. Stomach cancer is really painful and shitty as well.
 
 He was only the 4th president of Nintendo since the company was founded in 1889. This will have a huge impact on the future of Nintendo.
 
 RIP  Satoru  Iwata, I will play Baloon Fight and Earthbound in memory of your contributions to the gaming world.

				Now that I know he was born in December, I feel even sorrier he didn't make it to his birthday this year.
 Incidentally, Roy Orbison died the day he turned 29.

				Well of course Sony isn't going to celebrate in public. It's all for show and you took the bait, sheep.

				Pretty sure that if not for Iwata, there wouldn't be a PlayStation.  They finally won.

				Not only is Mr. Iwata the only Nintendo employee that I can name that has died while still in employment, he is the third Nintendo employee I know of to have died in the company's modern era.
 
Gunpei Yokoi: 1941-1997
 
Hiroshi Yamauchi: 1927-2013
 
Satoru Iwata: 1959-2015
 
May they all rest in peace.    |

				Yamauchi was Nintendo's largest shareholder until his death, so technically he never left Nintendo.
