Just woke up today to find this news on Nintendo's twitter account. He was far too young to die. Bloody cancer... Words escape me at this time but he was the men under which Nintendo finally won me over as a fan (me and my younger sister). RIP Iwata-san :-(

I think it speaks volumes of a person's character when even corporate rivals express their condolences over Mr. Iwata's passing...
I feel that Mr. Iwata had certain qualities as CEO that I can only hope other gaming company executives, hell, company executives in general, look to as an example. It was only recently I had discovered that before his time at the helm of Nintendo, he was also a programming wizard and helped bring many of my childhood games to life, Pokémon Gold and Silver being chief among them. Thank you for everything, Iwata-san. In related news: Shigeru Miyamoto, Satoru Shibata & Reggie Fils-Aime speak on Iwata’s passing Hip Tanaka remixes Balloon Fight theme for Iwata Tribute

It is sad to see such a leader to pass at relative young age. Despite of the struggles of Nintendo, he will be missed as a person who live with the spirit of creativity and the passion in his own work.
May he rest in peace. |
