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 :-(

Iwata, may you rest in peace... You changed Nintendo in a lot of great ways, and apart from that were a very great man!

This is pretty damn sudden

Now that I think about it, Iwata wasn't in the Nintendo E3 Event, was he?

Mah your soul rest in peace Iwata-san, your legacy will be remembered

Rest easy Mr. Iwata.
You will be missed.

I'm sure that was part of it, but it fit with the Starfox stuff too. He did voice his puppet, however.

There are no words to express my sadness.

I've posted a lot today about how much this news has upset me on other forums, but I want to add a message here too.

RIP to Iwata-san. One of the greatest minds to have ever graced the gaming industry. He will be sorely missed.

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.

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.

It's been too long since I've drawn something and the first time I tried writing Japanese, but since I cannot go to New York to pay my respects...
