He......he was just at E3. He seemed fine. I...............I don't know what to say. Um..............

 

</3

He wasn't at E3 for business reasons. Could have been for bile reasons since that was the reason he missed last year and they didn't want to say it again.

 

In any case, the next Nintendo Direct should be... interesting, to say the least.

I thought he was. Must have been because of the direct. Where he seemed in perfectly good spirits.... :/

 

Yea, they will likely have a tribute to him at the start or end.

Don't know how to put this Flamey, but that was actually puppet made to look like Iwata.

It was a very well-made puppet.

You can tell my mind is not on right when I remembered the transformation sequence and thought it was the actual people becoming puppets and not the puppets becoming Star Fox characters.

 

^ Agro posted that 20 minutes before you Flame.

 

But yeah, he was an amazing man, a programming great. My heart goes out to his family and all at Nintendo.

I saw when scrolling back through the page. This is what I get for going through the feels trip that is tweeter atm. Still bears repeating. As does this fact that Iwata cut his pay in half when his company fell short of fiscal projections to keep people from losing their jobs. Man was a gift to the industry.

But dude, 55 is pretty young. Also, as someone who has never known of his bile duct problems, this was just completely unexpected.

 

I'm hoping Nintendo will continue to thrive in his absence. RIP

R.I.P Satoru Iwata.

It was too soon... only 55.

You've been the inspiration and motivation for many people, you've been a hard worker, a good president of Nintendo, and had a sense of humor.

You took good care of the company that formed my childhood...

 

 

Goddammit, it's like Robin Williams all over again!

I want to open up saying: Agro, if you're going to choose a Legend of Zelda song for feels, this is a superior candidate. 

Twilight Princess credits fits the tone much better. Song of Healing is more haunting than uplifting.

So I was at a church function all day, and this is what I came back too...

 

I think the hardest part about this for me is that he was only 55. I mean just thinking about is too sad. I mean by today's stands he still had about 25 - 30 more years, and that's just been torn away from him.
