You will always be remembered in our hearts. Rest in Peace. ;(



*Cue sad trumpets*

Press F to pay respects.

I kinda feel like crying, he was such a great man and so young too. I've been a Nintendo fan since I could pick up a controller, and kirby has always been my favorite too. I'm gonna miss him and his wonderful creations, not to mention wonderful business decisions he will go down in gaming history as a legend!

[Lmpkio]

@Zaresto Amen.

@Cuccoruler And he really was. 55 is middle age, and this is due to cancer basically. Not because of old age. I also grew up with Nintendo, mostly with the Mario games.

He will always be remembered in our hearts. Once a legend, forever a legend!

It is sad to see a man who pretty much put Kanto into Gold and Silver, ported battle code to the N64 Pokemon game, worked on Earthbound and other stuff. This feeling makes me wonder how hard it will be when the others finally pass on, though hopefully not anytime soon.

Though he left his body, his spirit will remain with Nintendo, his friends and the fans who loved him. I am going to miss his "Please understand."

His company was good until the Wii.

A Power-up Mario always needed
An ability Kirby could never copy
A metriod the mother brain could never control
A legend bigger then Zelda

R.I.P Mr. Iwata... You will forever live on in Nintendo's fans' hearts.

"Directly to you."

@MistressCyanide No one can match the brilliance of Mr. Iwata. They may be close, but never able to surpass.

@Revans Exile Nah, even with the Wii and afterwards we got some good games.

@GodOfWar Amen.

@Darcs A gift from good ole' Donkey Kong (And Mario/Jumpman :P)

[Revans Exile]

@Revans Exile Nah, even with the Wii and afterwards we got some good games.

@Lmpkio

I don't care how good the games were, the console was mediocre, the "controller" was pure shit.

[Darcs]

@Revans Exile The man just died. This is literally not the thread to do this in.

Also that's just your pleb opinion.

@Revans Exile The man just died. This is literally not the thread to do this in.

@Darcs

Doesn't matter if he was alive, died three months ago, or six seconds ago.

[Darcs]

@Revans Exile Why not make a thread about how in your opinion the Wii was mediocre then?

[Lmpkio]

@Revans Exile This thread is to respect the hard work of the president of Nintendo and to appreciate what he has done. Please be respectful of his work. If not, then why bother posting here?

@Darcs

Nah.

[Mr_pink]

Revan there's a time and a place to be a dick and now is not it. If you want to whine about how your opinion is better than everyone elses then go make your own thread and cry about it to yourself. I didn't much like the WII either but you don't see me derailing threads just because I want to get my opinion through.

tl;dr:
fuck off.

R.I.P Iwata.
