That's sad! My thoughts are with his family and friends. Thanks for everything, Iwata-san. Rest in Peace!

Really sad day.

R.I.P. Satoru Iwata

RIP Iwata-san. The good die too young. You and Nintendo have played a massive role in my relationship with videogames, teaching me how to enjoy and appreciate this unique form of art. I will forever treasure your work as a developer, a gamer, a CEO and entertainer.

I cant catch my breath, RIP Iwata-san, Nintendo will never be the same with you gone, especially the directs which we've become used to seeing your glowing face and cool, quirky way about you that made every Nintendo fan smile. We have lost a great man and heaven has gained a great spirit! Will greatly be missed but never forgotten, the legacy of the joy you've gave us will live on.

what a way just woke up and read this very choked

Satoru Iwata protected the soul and essence of Nintendo. For that, I will always respect him and look up to him. Thank you Iwata-san, RIP.
