Rest in peace, Iwata.

Here's the official announcement document.

 

[Revin]

Rest in Peace, Mr. Iwata.

 

[Ray Trace]

Holy s--- I didn't expect him to die. He's too young to be dead.

 

[Stargazing]

In case anyone is looking for a more official source, this was covered both on Nintendo of Japan's website (e: ninja'd) and Sakurai's twitter.


Still though, this is incredibly tragic. R.I.P.

This is the saddest thing I've heard in a while, and it hurts.

 

[Lumastar]

I am shocked. We have lost a great man who played a big part in my childhood and stayed with the company I loved until the very end. RIP Iwata. You will not be forgotten.

God... God damn... Hearing about one of your idols dying, someone who made it possible for you to spend hours enjoying yourself with games, it's just... God. Rest in peace, Iwata.

 

[Weasel]

I... uh... wow. I'm honestly speechless right now.

Rest in peace, Iwata. Thank you so much for all you've done in helping shape my childhood.

 

[Mintiously]

I thought this day would never come

Rest in peace. May you find yourself a happy place in the Mushroom Kingdom in the sky.

 

[Zae]

found out about this a few seconds ago.

Like damn this sucks, i didnt agree with some stuff nintendo has been doing, but i feel that he did well with his career.

Rest in piece, iwata. I'll respect you into eternity regardless.

 

[Walkazo]

Very sad news.

 

[Glitchy Bowser Jr.]

Adding to my previous post, hearing that the man who was responsible for so many good games died is really sad. I knew his health was quite bad, but I was still shocked to hear he died.

 

[Nabber]

I saw an article saying he died and thought it was a joke. I'm truly shocked. My condolences go out to his family and coworkers.

 

[EctoBiologist]

WHAT?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Ai Hoshino]

As they say, all good things must come to an end. Rest in peace Iwata. You will be greatly missed.

 

[Baby Mario Bloops]

I was not expecting that whatsoever. I saw it on facebook and was like "No...no...."

I knew if there was a thread on this site, then it was true. I just...wow. It's so unreal right now. It's probably going to hit me like in a week of him passing.

 

[Mintiously]

It's just adding to my depression...

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

No

Nooooooooo!

This is so shocking and unreal. I can't believe it. He's too young to die. ;-;

 

[HeftyWario]

Wow... I saw a thread somewhere else with no replies and I thought it was some sick joke.




Rest in peace, Iwata.

 

[Mintiously]

This isn't the end of nintendo, right?

That's the second guy on the team to die.

 

[GBA]

i'm so heartbroken atm and have no idea what else to say except that my thoughts certainly go out to his family and everyone at nintendo. this is just devastating
