This really makes me sad. It's a great loss, 55 is way too young to pass away.
Our sympathy should go directly to you and your family, Mr. Iwata.

I'm truly saddened by his passing because he embodied the spirit of the company I grew up with and love. There is and unlikely to ever be another CEO like him. Video games might seem trivial to some outside observers but he was a man who genuinely enriched the lives of many both through his work and personality. Nintendo Directs will never be the same.
RIP.
RIP.

I heard this yesterday at 9pm my time. my brother came running with the news. At first I didn't even catch it. Like dumbfounded but later I felt so heavy today at morning I was crying. I could not hold it any longer. Mr. Iwata took Nintendo's helm and also did his own share with many games. Not only he steered some games but the boat that carried them. My sincerest best wishes for his family, work colleagues and friends as well to all Nintendo fans like me.

These past few days have just been sad in general, but this really puts the icing on the cake. RIP in peace Iwata, I hope you floated directly into heaven.

I remember when during every Nintendo Directs Iwata said "Please, take a look" and then the trailers of the games leave me speechless, amazed. I'll never forget his kindness, his gestures and his greetings in each Direct, i will not forget the "Iwata ask" (a recent example is made by the Splatoon one, rabbits / tofu).
It was a great president, especially in the wii / ds era, a great success made by him with those consoles. i'm sorry that after the last e3 are rained criticism on him and on Nintendo, I hope he died peacefully, happy of the great things he accomplished in his life.
I offer my condolences to his family, friends and employees. i wish that his family can overcome this bad time as well as possible.

This is a sad day. I feel like I'm losing a relative. What an amazing man who has done so much for not only his own life and passions, but the lives and passions of many around him. His body may have perished, but his spirit and love will live on forever. Rest in peace, Mr. Iwata.
I still have no words. This I do not understand.
Mr. Iwata was a great corporate president, game developer, and gamer. While we know not what went on behind the scenes at Nintendo HQ, I am sure Mr. Iwata was involved in every way possible. To think we have lost one of the great people at this company is so sad...........
Rest in peace Satoru Iwata. May you live forever in our minds.

Woke up to a text messages this morning telling me about the passing of Iwata. He was the CEO of Nintendo but he also always came across as a real nice and likable guy.
Almost made me cry when i saw this picture earlier today

I'm unbelievably sad. I couldn't stop crying yesterday, it took all my willpower just to go to sleep.
The only thing left for us to do is to continue honoring Satoru Iwata, and the legacy he's left behind. Without him, we wouldn't have so many amazing games, and who knows what Nintendo would have been recently without Iwata there to ease us. No matter what happens, we'll never forget Iwata, never. This is an opportunity to pray for Iwata's soul and his family and friends, and to be thankful for everyone and everything we cherish in this life. If we continue to remember Iwata, it'll be like he never left us, right?

I heard about this yesterday and I am so sad. It really is a sad day for the gaming community in general. This is exactly the way I felt when my brother in-law died in 2009 (don't ask how he died it was sudden and a shock, just like mr. Iwata.) shaken and shocked. We will always understand you, mr. Iwata. You were a great man. A fun man. You will live on in all of our hearts and minds. You live in all of us. I know you are watching over all of us gamers. Wether it be Nintendo gamers or other gamers in general. You are watching over us all. RIP mr. iwata. Have fun in your own Nintendo land.
