Nooooooooo :( Rest in Peace Mr. Iwata
Holy hell, that came out of nowhere.
What!? What the hell? I thought he was getting better.
That would explain why he wasn't at E3.
Oh shit, no fucking way...
[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;48189166]Holy hell, that came out of nowhere.[/QUOTE]
sort of, his health has been kinda bad recently but I don't think anyone knew it would lead to this
I thought he was doing pretty good recently, this fucking sucks.
Holy fuck.
What does this mean for nintendo?
Here's the letter in case it goes down from traffic

Rest in peace
That came out of nowhere
I thought my friend was just lying
Oh fuck he seemed to be well
He died on my birthday, too...
:(
Wow. That sucks terribly. I heard he had surgery for a tumor. Makes me wonder if that put stress on him or he had cancer or something. :(
this is fucking unreal
Whoa holy shit that came out of no where, really sad to see.
The link checks out. I guess we can only wait for a offical press release, but the evidence is too damning currently.
this is so unexpected to me, what the fuck
Wow, I wasn't expecting to hear this at all, didn't believe it at first honestly.
I expected the worst when I saw "Nintendo president S..." from the front page. Fuck, man. RIP
This is really sad. He was such a great guy, and a fantastic figure. It doesn't feel real.

I don't know how much more official you can get when it's posted on Nintendo's official site
Holy shit where did this come from
Wow this is a very odd way of announcing this.
Holy shit. What?!
I'm REALLY sad right now.
"Bile Duct Growth", as in a cancerous growth, correct?
Well, this has put an even bigger shit on an already bad day. RIP Iwata.
From the Nintendo World Report page
[quote]Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has passed away at the age of 55.
Nintendo Company Limited announced the passing in a release on their investor website (PDF link). The cause of death is a bile duct growth, which Iwata took an extended leave of absence from his duties in 2014 to attempt to resolve.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Iwata family and to the Nintendo family in this difficult time. More information will be provided as it becomes available.[/quote]
