I bought two, one of each color.Just a quick glance, I didn't see this posted yet, so...
ArtsyOmni (of the Smashified series) and Etika (of Etika World Network) have launched a TeeSpring campaign for a shirt based on the artwork Omni created shortly after Iwata's passing. 50% of their proceeds are going to the Child's Play and the other 50% to cancer research (undecided which charity at this time; they're asking for suggestions in the comments of their Youtube video detailing the campaign.) The campaign is active for 9 days and as of right now, there are no plans to continue it beyond this, so you'll be unable to order a shirt after this time period.
T-shirt comes in a black or blue variety and looks like this:

That eulogy... wow. It left me speechless. I don't think I've seen someone say it so well. It's amazing to see these things. To show us that in all parts of his life he was this patient man. That it wasn't some facade. That's what makes this all the more difficult I think. One of a kind. It tears me up and I didn't even know the man. I can't imagine what it was like for his friends and family. He was just a beautiful soul inside and out. He won't be forgotten.

How did I not get that joke before?Satoru (さとる, サトル ?) is a Japanese verb meaning "to know" or "understand".

I can't believe I'm seeing these images. It's so surreal. Wish I could have gone and paid my respects. Maybe some day.Rösti;172171934 said:Some more photos (and the one already posted, here in slightly higher quality):

I can't find him in my Plaza.For those with a Wii U, you can follow the official Iwata account which will add him to your WaraWara Plaza. This allows you to add him to your Mii Maker.

I can't find him in my Plaza.
Can you perhaps generate and post his Mii's QR code?

Thanks for all the great times Mr. Iwata. You're the CEO that every game company should strive to have.

Love the bananas in the middle, I think Iwata himself would've loved that and it would've brought a big smile to him, and the process a smile to all of us, definitely going miss seeing him in the directs, RIP Iwata

I got really emotional after watching this video, especially during the end of the video. My fiancee's brother died a month a half ago, so in this short period of time I've got enough these bad news, but life goes on. Still, it's surprising to see how a man I didn't even personally know, can affect me so much. Iwata really left a permanent mark in many of our lives.This is really wonderful stuff from GameSpot.

I can't help but to think how hard this must be for Miyamoto and Takeda. They lost a great friend and colleague yet instead of mourning they must carry on the business as usual. Everything they do at work must remind them of Iwata since they're filling his role.That eulogy... wow. It left me speechless. I don't think I've seen someone say it so well. It's amazing to see these things. To show us that in all parts of his life he was this patient man. That it wasn't some facade. That's what makes this all the more difficult I think. One of a kind.

Does anybody found a copy of the eulogy in Japanese?

So far I couldn't find the full eulogy as well. WSJ journalist Takashi Mochizuki tweeted some excerpts. I have no idea how to quote tweets so I just copy and paste them below.
There are so many moving stories and bits and pieces shared on Twitter by Iwata's old colleagues. My English and my Japanese are equally bad, but I'll try to see if I can translate some in my next post...
