[Save 'N Quit]

This day just became significantly worse.

 

[BorkBork]

I was not prepared for this. Absolutely devastated right now.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Iwata.

 

[Afrocious]

Damn. Wow.

 

[Primethius]

Oh fuck!

RIP.

 

[defferoo]

RIP Mr. Iwata, we've lost a great one.

 

[Spainkiller]

Genuinely shocked. First celebrity death ever to genuinely impact me emotionally.

RIP, Iwata-san. You were one of the good guys.

 

[mokeyjoe]

Wtf I didn't know he was ill!! Rip to a legend

Me neither, I guess I'm out of the loop. Shocked.

 

[Malo]

Woah. RIP.

 

[bigjig]

Legend to the end. Had no idea he was that sick. RIP

 

[CureXIV]

unbelievable..

 

[gigantor21]

What the fuck.

 

[$h@d0w]

Rest in peace.

 

[Hung_real]

RIP

He had a good career but this is way too soon

 

[iceblade997]

Wow that's horrible news .

RIP

 

[Ultimate_Trainer]

RIP Iwata. This seems so sudden

 

[ramoisdead]

Holy shit.

RIP Iwata. Sometimes I questioned your methods but you were indeed a genius. Sad that this happened right after his recovery. =[

 

[James Scott]

He was only like 55 years old. That's like the age of my parents. He was a great leader even through to tough times, I always believed in him.
That's way too young.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

Just heard this via a friend on Skype. I'm in shock about this.

RIP Iwata.

 

[gargles]

I'm shocked. I can't believe this.

RIP Mr. Iwata.

 

[ezekial45]

Holy shit. Damn, he was a really great guy. RIP

 

[El Odio]

I still don't want to believe this. He was such a influence on the company I've held to dear for so long. God damn... I'm gonna miss him and everything he's done.

 

[j.rob]

No fucking way

 

[Pupo]

Whaaaaaat!? I can't believe it...

 

[Vyse24]

RIP Mr.Iwata =(

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

HOLY SHIT WHAT


RIP

I can't believe it.

 

[Hip Hop]

That's what I was thinking. Had the same thing happen to me.

"Growth" to me signifies some kind of Cancer. Very telling especially with all the weight loss he had recently.

 

[Frog-fu]

Holy...

Rest in Peace

 

[Salaadin]

Oh man. I thought this was a sick joke.

RIP, Iwata. You will be missed. My condolences to your family, friends, and co workers.

 

[sajj316]

Oh no! About to tear up ..

 

[x3r0123]

HOLY SHIT
JESUS CHRIST
I did not expect this at all
RIP iwata.

 

[Phant]

This is so sudden, don't know what to say.

 

[Skyzard]

Terrible to hear, RIP.

 

[RadioJoNES64]

He made gaming (and probably my life) what it is today.

 

[Visualante2]

Damn shame. That's all I can say.

 

[Lingitiz]

Jesus Christ. This came out of nowhere.

Was he sick?

He had a major surgery for the bile duct problem this time last year, but it looked like he was making a full recovery. Did not expect this at all.

 

[FullmetalPain]

Posting a random image of him being him, because this guy... This brilliant guy has been a blessing to the gaming community. I always respected his leadership and focus.

Nintendo is so dear to me, and Iwata san cared so much about Nintendo and gaming as as whole.

Wish we could of had one final direct.

 

[D-Man]

WHAT THE FUCK? Holy shit man not Iwata!

Rest in peace. I always liked seeing him during Nintendo Directs. So much respect for the man.

 

[Nerokis]

Such horrible news... I'm having to hold back tears over here.

RIP, Iwata. You'll never be forgotten.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Wow.

Can't believe it.

RIP. You'll be greatly missed.

 

[Occam]

RIP. How totally unexpected. I am shocked.

 

[Kriken]

It breaks my heart, im trying not to believe it.

The day Miyamoto dies will break my heart

He was only like 55 years old. That's like the age of my parents. He was a great leader even through to tough times, I always believed in him.
That's way too young.

My dad turns 60 next year and I've been trying to prepare myself for when I won't be seeing him, this really puts things into perspective for me for how young he was when he died, dammit

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

fuck. I'm so fucking sad right now

 

[TC McQueen]

Holy shit, that came out of nowhere.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

RIP

 

[Saturday]

Jesus, I didn't think I'd be so shocked at this, but my heart actually skipped a beat once I saw the title. That's.. damn.

 

[DanteRavenkin]

What the fuck? I thought my girlfriend was shitting me when she said so. I am sad to hear this. :'(

 

[Zomba13]

What? No!

I thought things were getting better for him.

RIP.

 

[Fj0823]

Never liked the way he managed Nintendo.

But he made a lot of people happy and seemed like a funny man. Hope he's in a better place. RIP

 

[Linius]

Can't believe this just happened :/

RIP

 

[Jaroof]

That seriously sucks.. RIP, Iwata.
