[QUOTE=Banhfunbags;48189738]I wonder who will take his place. At least he lived to see Smash 4[/QUOTE] It seems like Fire Emblem Fates will be the last game where Iwata worked on. I still can't really believe that he passed away so suddenly. RIP Iwata.
Fuck cancer.
I saw this on facebook and thought it was just a hoax. Had to come here to check... Such sad news.

I remember when I was very young, Mr. Iwata inspired me to became a programmer. I think he died way too early....

Very sudden, I wonder how Miyamoto is taking this.

I thought this was some sick joke, then I saw the official document and my Twitter feed exploding... Rest in peace. :(

Probably everyone working at Nintendo is devastated. Reggie, Genyo Takeda, Miyamoto, everyone. It's a real shame.

[QUOTE=Flyingman356;48189508]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.[/QUOTE] I heard he even rewrote the entire Mother 2 code from scratch by himself so it would work properly later in development

RIP[/quote] [quote]I first met Satoru Iwata at TGS in 2005 when I interviewed him for G4. He spoke in Japanese and showed off the Nintendo Wii controller.[/quote] [quote]So at the end of the interview, after the cameras were off, he turned to me and started speaking in English.[/quote] [quote]"Geoff, I really liked out interview. I can tell you are a gamer so I wanted to show you something." He turned the controller sideways.[/quote] [quote]He held it like an NES controller with D-pad and the A B buttons. He smiled, I think to hint at Virtual Console. I'll always remember that.[/quote] [quote]I felt a great connection with him then, he wanted gamers to know that Nintendo would always think of us. He was such an honorable man.[/quote] [quote]His smile said so much. He was and is one of us. He loved game, and wanted to make the world a better place with them. And he did.[/quote]

He had the tumor removed last year, probably spread to his pancreas, thats a horrible way to go... RIP Mr Iwata
