Iwata has passed away
Re: Iwata has passed away
Horrible. Hits hard. RIP living Legend. Dude was as genuine as you could get in such a position.
Re: Iwata has passed away
Same here, and the condition he was suffering from I don't think I've ever heard of until this point...I really hope they put out something other than that statement later though...Hazerd wrote:RIP, didnt even know he had health problems, very saddening.

Re: Iwata has passed away
Definitely passed away way too soon. Guy was only 55. My condolences, we've lost a great one.
I think I'll remember him most from his past E3 press conferences and his saying "at Nintendo, we believe".

Re: Iwata has passed away
Rest in Peace.
Can't think of much else to say, really. I remember initially thinking the reports were a hoax. It's just hard to believe, seeing him not even one month ago on stage.

Re: Iwata has passed away
I agree. I'm really feeling this one pretty hard. This was a person that had great influences on my life.
And, beyond the notification, I don't have any doubt that it is the case now. This was Nintendo's world headquarters today:

Re: Iwata has passed away
I don't know if he was behind it, but it seriously impressed me that Nintendo decided instead of competing with PS/Xbox to bring new customers to the console market "The casuals" . It took a serious decision-maker to release a console that is much weaker in specs and then beat the competitors in sales.
Let us not forget they were the first to release a new controlling method since probably the Atari 2600.

I'm glad he was able to get in one more E3, and had fun with the muppet rendition of himself.

Re: Iwata has passed away
There were several Miiverse posts last night alluding to his passing. I just can't believe it. You will be sorely missed, kind sir.
@ Xero. I love that quote. That's what it's all about. Period.
