[chrominance]

RIP. Death of a legend. Condolences to his family and co-workers.

I kind of can't believe this is happening.

 

[antitrop]

Unbelievable. A terrible loss.

Rest in peace

 

[Willy Wanka]

Very sad news. R.I.P.

 

[Son Of D]

Wow. He seemed to be quite young.

55 at the time of death.

 

[Zophar]

This is unbelievable...

 

[BlackJet]

Holy shit. We knew he was sick, but I never thought it was this bad...

RIP

 

[Ocelott]

Wow...So out of the blue...RIP

 

[Syf]

Wow, totally unexpected. RIP.

 

[Ventara]

What?!!! Holy crap! I am really finding this hard to believe. I knew the guy had some health problems, but not this bad. Dude was only 55. Man, seriously, what?

Rest in peace, Mr. Iwata.

 

[Zombie James]

RIP..

Anyone know what a "bile duct growth" is? I had my gallbladder removed because I had some stones that were causing problems, and I recall being told sometimes stones can become stuck in the bile ducts. Is it something like that?

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

 

[Seanlole]

MOTHER OF GOD D:

Rest In Peace.

 

[Trace]

What???

 

[Magwik]

Noooooooooo :'(

 

[Jashobeam]

very sad news, your passion for videogames and Nintendo will be missed, RIP.

 

[Straight Edge]

Who will most likely replace him?

 

[Apdiddy]

Wow.

Iwata just took time off for health reasons and he came back, now this.

 

[Kiriku]

Wow, sad. RIP.

 

[Hattori]

I had no idea it was this serious...

 

[JAYinHD]

Such sad news. RIP Mr. Iwata and my prayers go out to your family as well.

 

[Calvero]

wait what
what
waht
oh my god

RIP

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I'm actually still sort of in disbelief.

That's...I don't know. He looked so young.

I was worried that maybe, maybe health complications were going to force him into early retirement, but this?

Fuck. Just fuck.

 

[And_Gignac]

:////

I supossed he was ill after his no show during e3 but I didn't thought it was that serious.

This is horrible. May he rest.

 

[devious.one]

Fuck.

Rest in Peace..

 

[TheSeks]

Wow. Cancer wasn't it?

 

[josecitoxnyo]

May he rest in peace.

 

[Mato]

Damn it.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Iwata is the reason you people got a second region in Pokémon GS. Iwata is the reason Sakurai still develops Smash games.

This is a huge loss, not just for Nintendo, but for the whole industry.

 

[kai3345]

Holy shit RIP

 

[Ryaaan14]

Whoa

 

[Mikey Jr.]

No fucking way.

I don't believe it.

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

RIP

 

[Pastry]

I didn't realize how young he was until this thread.

 

[Jindrael]

That is really sudden, I only heard that things were looking up for him and now this.

My condolences goes to his family and relatives.

 

[hongcha]

So sorry to hear this...may he rest in peace.

 

[dddooozzz9]

RIP

 

[ZeroAKA]

Wow, definitely didn't see this coming. RIP Iwata.

 

[Plinko]

I'm absolutely stunned right now. Speechless.

I mean...no. It can't be true.

R.I.P., Mr. Iwata. Prayers for his family.

 

[Lokbob]

Uhh, wtf. Thats pretty sad. RIP.

 

[Tomat]

Awful news.

RIP

 

[RoKKeR]

Wow. Terrible news, RIP and thank you.

 

[Sponge]

What?? No!!

 

[CaviarMeths]

Shocking, and makes my heart feel heavy. Despite ups and downs, you could never doubt that he was passionate about what he did and carried strongly the core values of Nintendo as a brand. This is a loss for the whole industry.

RIP, Iwata-san.

 

[Aarglefarg]

Two days ago...

 

[Dinjooh]

That is not what I expected to see when I loaded NeoGAF this evening.

Legit shocked.

 

[tomtom94]

Damn, RIP. Only 56 too. Such a shock.

 

[Tuck]

I... what?

I... can't believe it. Jesus christ. RIP.

 

[Riesenfass]

Wow. I knew he had health issues but I thought he was getting better.

RIP.

 

[Jonnax]

 

[Agent X]

This is very sad news. RIP.

 

[Betty]

I didn't realize he was that ill, I thought he was just stressed or something.

Sad to see him go, far too soon.
