;_; Oof... with me being a Nintendo fan, this really hurts. This guy left a legacy for not just Nintendo, but also gaming as a whole. May his soul rest in peace. I miss him already. Nintendo just won't be the same without him anymore. Rest in Peace you great man. I hope you're in a better place, free of pain and suffering.

This really is a shame. I thought it was a joke at first, but wow. Died at 55 years old, it seems like it came out of no where. Really sad though that it had to be after the really bad reception this years Nintendo Direct conference received. Rest in peace, Iwata, you left behind a great legacy.

Fitting thread music, I've been listening to this for like the past half hour over in the /v/ thread:

Rest in Peace Satoru Iwata.

It's hard to accept that this happened, having this man pass away too soon. He has created so many games that we love so much and changed the way he play video games. Left one hell of a mark in gaming history.
Edit: I just wrote this up
