I thought people were fucking with me. This is awful news, I'm devastated.
Somone changed the wikipedia description.

His name on that was changed to 'RIP SEXY GOD"
Wow

Was not prepared for this
My Twitter feed is putting tears in my eyes. God damnit man.

And the page got locked down, it seems. Guess it was gonna happen.
Please understand...
[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;48189328]Japanese are very big on personal privacy in the public sphere. Iwata's personal life and health was/is private, except for info that would be financially-impacting to Nintendo's stockholders, such as CEOs being replaced with little warning (for any reason, including passing on).
I don't expect we'll see a Nintendo.co.jp front-page takeover tribute for Iwata the way Apple.com replaced its front page with a tribute to Steve Jobs after he died. It's a different culture.[/QUOTE]
I guess that explains why this feels so out of nowhere. It may have been a long time coming but we would have never known.
Honestly i don't know what to say other than I am sad, RIP.
[QUOTE=Mr. Zombie;48189407]Please understand...[/QUOTE]
I can't, man...
Rest in peace, Iwata. Thanks for everything.
Damn, that was out of the blue
RIP and thanks for the games
This just ruined my day. Rest in peace Iwata. You've done your job pretty well.
Fuck, I won't be able to sleep tonight.
55? wow. terrible
That's pretty sadding, to be honest.
Heard it through Vinny during his charity stream. The impact was real, man.
Oh damn, he seemed fine... I've only recently gotten into Nintendo and their games, but this is still pretty shocking. RIP.
Wow, kinda weird to think some of the founders of video games and things thought impossible at one time will die in your lifetime....
Really sucks to see him go
Not the kind of news I want to come home to after a fun day. That is depressing to hear, and 55 is way too young.

Holy shit...This happened?

So long Mr. Iwata. You helped enrich many years of gaming.
Holy Shit was not expecting this like at all ..R.i.p
I hadn't heard any news recently of him being in any danger or anything, so this comes as a complete surprise to me.
I'm in tears now..

I was thinking of exactly the same thing. He even worked on Earthbound as a programmer. Thank you so much Satoru, your contribution to the medium will never fade.
Wikipedia updated the page again, apparently the cause was bile duct growth.
Damnit talk about a nice guy.
And at 55 too.
Im concerned what his could mean for Nintendo, too. He seemed to be keeping Nintendo on a relatively stable track. I'm concerned whoever's the new CEO would make the same decisions as him

ah damn I didn't notice, argh this sucks
