Posted by: Svea Rike 13 Jul 2015, 12:07

President of Nintendo Saturo Iwata has passed away just several hours ago. He died of cancer he had been fighting for over a year. Saturo Iwata is responsible for some of the greatest games in history like Kirby, EarthBound, Star Fox and more, and made Nintendo extremely successful with the Nintendo DS and Wii. A legend will be missed. Rest in peace.

This was so sudden...I feel bad that his last E3 didn't exactly get the best reception ><

I just read about this too. One of my friends has relatives working for Nintendo, he'll be quite affected personally :/ Still, cancer of all things, that's an awful way to die... we will miss him.
