#RIP Satoru Iwata

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has passed away at 55.


The man was a legend. Only under his supervision and guidance did someone like Miyamoto get to develop all these countless original creation.

I kinda fear for Nintendo's future now, depending who they put in charge next. (Sorry, I'm just seeing a pattern repeat here, the same way Sega went when they lost their own Japanese CEO back around the Dreamcast days).


Here's the official statement:
Nintendo Co., Ltd. deeply regrets to announce that President Satoru Iwata passed away on July 11, 2015 due to a bile duct growth.
The man will be missed : (
