Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passed Away

I can be a bit of an angry contrarian gamer, but I really loved and respected Iwata.  He really seemed to understand what gaming was about, and he even gave attention to the little games, not just the big releases.  We lost a good one.

Far too young. RIP

This makes me really really sad. Iwata was a genuinely good guy, in a world where many company presidents are all about making money he really stood out as somebody who genuinely wanted to make good games.

RIP.

Wow, I'm really shocked at this news. Sad.

It is super sad that he has passed. Nintendo was what really got me into gaming.

Its been really nice to see that some of the other companies are paying their respects to him. He was a true gamer and he will be greatly missed.

RIP Satoru Iwata.
