Nu_13 84 Posted July 18, 2015 Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has sadly passed away. Nintendo has issued a statement which you can read here. Mr Iwata passed away on July 11, 2015 due to a bile duct growth. Satoru Iwata wasn’t just a successful president of Nintendo, he was one of the most popular public figures in video games. “On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer.” Thank you for everything, Iwata-san 4 Forest, Kypari, Goblin and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forest 309 Posted July 18, 2015 Hopefully whomever takes the reins won't let his short lived legacy die; that not every company should put all of their focus into making money but should instead focus on listening intently to their playerbase and fans. He truly was an inspiration :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
