Default Satoru Iwata: 1959-2015
Sad news Nintendo fans.
CEO and co-programmer of Earthbound Satoru Iwata has died at age 55 from gallbladder cancer.
His position is a very lofty one, in a term, he's left rather big shoes to fill.

There was a sighting of a rainbow arcing over the Nintendo Kyoto headquarters, much in common that PIXAR was also sighted with a rainbow upon Steve Jobs' death.
It appears that we as gamers are left to grieve.

Pardon my nerves, but the big shoes to fill terminology evoked a sight gag about fortitude as a person in a position.
My grief is not normal, so pardon my actions, I am broken when someone important in our lives dies.

Personal Quote: "I like my men like my sodas: tall boys." (Zevia has both 12 and 16 oz options)

(P.S. I'm about 5' (150cm) in height and easily scared)

R.I.P. Mr. Iwata. He will always be in our hearts. The Video Game Industry won't be the same without such a brilliant businessman/CEO/programmer. He will be missed. #ThankYouIwataSan

Damn, i'm still crying.
I grew up with Nintendo games. Zelda, Mario, Pokemon... it's so sad!
55 is much too young to die.
