Wow!

Horrible news. RIP.

 

[infiniteheteroskdasticity]

This came out of nowhere. RIP Mr Iwata.

 

[B-Dubs]

RIP

I wonder what happened. I thought he was in decent health. Man, 2015 is such a shitty year.

He was sick for a while last year, but it seemed like he was improving.


Iwata brought me a lot of joy and laughs, this shit is unreal...

 

[shadow2810]

Wow wtf. I thought he already got the treatment or was it for different illness?

RIP

 

[El Odio]

I can't believe how much this is affecting my mood. First death of someone I never knew that's truly hit me. I'll have a laugh just for you Iwata when I can ;w;

 

[Battle Born]

May he rest in peace. He was a remarkable person with incredible ideas. I've always enjoyed reading his insightful Iwata Asks interviews and watching him host the Nintendo Directs. I'll miss him so much.

 

[Ingeniero]

Very sad news.
RIP.

 

[El Sabroso]

I am truly shocked by this, really FUCK CANCER man

 

[Pinky]

I love this quote.

T_T

 

[plainr_]

Very sad news. Rest in peace Mr. Iwata.

 

[Aizu_Itsuko]

Such a lovable and gentle man. He always brought a smile to my face.

His poor family must be devastated.

RIP, Mr. Iwata.

 

[clay_ghost]

Wtf rip

 

[Sakura]

I know he was having health issues recently, but I didn't really think it was something he could pass away from. I hope his family can pull through, and may he rest in peace.

 

[Cronee]

God damnit, that was not something I wanted to read about today. Rest in peace.

 

[XenodudeX]

A legend. Nintendo will never be the same without him. Legitimately scared for the company now.

 

[Crimson_Justice]

What?

Ugh...this is so sad. How skinny he had been looking lately makes it sadder. I hope he wasn't suffering.

 

[SuperSah]

Wow.

Just saw this, wow.

RIP Iwata, a sad time indeed.

If only T_T[/QUOTE]

What is wrong with you?

Take that shit down man.

I am still in shock.

 

[zeioIIDX]

Good night Iwata.

Alright, this made my eyes fucking well up with tears.......

 

[hamchan]

This is really sudden! How crazy. RIP.

 

[Verder]

I didn't expect this....

What's gonna happen to nintendo :/

FUCK

 

[Interceptor]

No wonder he didn't attend E3, the man gave his life for the company and these rough times couldn't have been good for his health.

The man was true visionary, extremely smart and sensible. Nintendo just lost not only a great leader, but an exceptional individual. It's gonna be extremely hard to replace him and this will send shock waves to the entire foundation, especially in this tough transition period where they needed him the most.

RIP and my condolences to the family.

[Raguel]

[aly]

RIP Mr. Iwata. I feel so sad about knowing that he's gone, but I do take comfort in the fact that he gave a lot of joy and fun at Nintendo, my childhood and the industry in general.

 

[Flakster99]

What the fuck, no way. Extremely sad news to come home to, rest in peace. /Salute

Still cannot believe it.

 

[MajorMane]

Oh wow... this seems sudden. He leaves a great legacy and will be really truly missed.

RIP.

 

[SeroTyler]

Man fuck.

RIP.

 

[Lunar15]

That's a gigantic blow to the gaming industry. He was really a legend. Can't believe this happened.

[Timmy00]

Wow this was a huge punch in the gut, was not expecting this. Rest in peace Iwata :/

 

[thesaucetastic]

Why is this real.

Why couldn't this be a headline for 20 years from now.

 

[Jawbreaker]

I'm stunned... simply stunned. Shit.

 

[Chakan]

Fucking cancer.

RIP.

 

[wild wild rice]

RIP Iwata-san. I will be playing Balloon Fight all day to remember you

I was thinking of doing the same. The music popped into my head shortly after digesting the news.

 

[Takamura-San]

RIP

 

[Lebon14]

I did it on my side out of respect and of being a Nintendo gamer.

May he rest in peace. A huge loss to the video game industry.

 

[graywolf323]

[ps3ud0]

RIP Iwata - loved the stories Ive read about how much of a coding genius he was

Sheesh Polygon

ps3ud0 8)

 

[freshVeggie]

I remember watching GameCenter CX - NC017 - Balloon Fight last year.

Really was surprised how down-to-earth and genuine Iwata was. All other videos I saw of him were the same. A really likable person.

This is really sad. Condolences to his family.

[El-Suave]

Browsing GAF before I go to bed, on my Wii U of all devices, and this is the news I have to read. So incredibly sad.
