To think that everything that has been a huge part of our childhood was made possible up till now by this one man. Now, I feel that part of our childhood has died along with him. I never felt this emotional since Robin William's death. No matter what sort of times Nintendo went through, both good or bad, Iwata was always a good man at heart, through and through. Given to how last month's Nintendo E3 turned out, the reception is made even more painful considering it was Iwata's final one. Let us always keep him alive within our memories.

(Just listening to this makes want to continue from where I left off with Super Paper Mario)

Thank you so much!

Even PlayStation paid their respects on Twittter.

Wow... That's just incredible... I don't know what to say...

 

[N3ON]

I'd also like one too. It's very nice of you to do this for everyone.

Thank you. ^_^

N3ON, if you could, that'd be amazing.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Even the first one, as he help Sakurai with the original prototypes and the programming

Well, 64 was going to come out regardless. But Iwata was the one that brought Melee out of the depths of development hell and prevented Smash from being a single-entry series.

A tournament the size of Apex would be the perfect thank you for that.

I am honestly mindblown by this

 

[GaroMaster]

It would be amazing if Sakurai actually made Iwata Smash DLC to honor him. And no, I mean a real, fleshed out fighter. Not a Mii Fighter.
Actually, I can get behind this. Who's with me?

I'm sorry for asking this, but we want to give respect to this wonderful man who made all of this possible. I want a ribbon too.

RIP Satoru Iwata, I hope you go directly to heaven.

Thanks again, N3ON. It really is nice of you to do all of this.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Well, 64 was going to come out regardless. But Iwata was the one that brought Melee out of the depths of development hell and prevented Smash from being a single-entry series.

If Iwata didn't give a helping hand to Sakurai for 64, Smash 64 also wouldn't exist. After all, the earliest stages of development only had the both of them working on it during breaks, iirc.

A tournament the size of Apex would be the perfect thank you for that.

You think too small... especially since EVO 2015 was comfirmed to have more Smashers

I'd like one please. Just PM me the result so you don't have to clutter this thread.

He worked on Pokemon Stadium?

Oh my god the tears.

Yes, but for the sake of honoring his lost friend, he should make him free DLC.

Thanks for everything, Mr. Iwata. May you rest in piece and live on the heavens.

I can't believe this happened.

Oh my god the tears.

That was one of the games that made me want to get into 3D modeling...damn it.

Okay i'm gonna stop reading what he worked on, the tears keep coming. Animal Crossing? All those hours trying to get bugs and bells was in part because of him? Oh my god.

 

[N3ON]

I would like one please.

If you can, then yes.

@ N3ON
If you wouldn't mind. A ribbon for me, as well.

If it's no trouble, I'd like to help you out. (If you want me to)

If you'd like to do the ones I won't be able to get to for a while (I'm going in order) so we don't accidentally end up doubling our efforts it'd be much appreciated.

 

[Ivander]

Rest in Peace, Satoru Iwata.

And may we wish him well in the afterlife.

Thank you, N3ON. So much.

 

[Champ Gold]

Don't be. Playstation and Nintendo have a lot of crossover users and they generally respect each other.

While the fanboys fight, the companies come together as brothers in arms.

Also Major Neelson from Xbox posted as well.

Dat Xbox/Nintendo/Sony love.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

It's so touching to see so much support for this man going around.

I'm sure Nintendo is beaming with joy that a man they personally respected and loved has brought together many generations of gamers.

It was always his and their own motto as a company and a man.

 

[Pakky]

I am honestly mindblown by this

Damn straight they did. You give your respect to a fallen opponent.

 

[GaroMaster]

Fond memories, indeed.

 

[BravadoMan_13]

Wow this is truly shocking news. You gave a lot to the Nintendo community and fanbase plus gaming in general. And only 55 years old too. R.I.P. Mr. Satoru Iwata. Thank you for everything.

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

Goodbye to Satoru Iwata, CEO of Nintendo. You truly were a legend of the industry. Without you, I would've never played some of my favorite childhood games. Thank you. May your soul be sent Directly to heaven. Rest in peace, Mr. Iwata.

Alrighty. And thanks.

I'll take one.

@ N3ON I need one ribbon please!

He was a great man who was involved in many amazing games. He was involved in Mario, Zelda, and Animal Crossing.
Working with Hal, he was basically a mentor for Sakurai and helped produce the first Kirby game. He even helped Sakurai create the idea of Nintendo characters fighting against each other, in the wonderful franchise we know as Super Smash Bros. Hell, he even helped compress Gold and Silver for Game Freak so that Kanto could be added.
As President, he helped push many, many sales for Nintendo and made many great achievements; the DS and Wii helped Nintendo reach a monumental amount of sales for them and many feats for them.
His involvement and influence is everywhere for Nintendo. In fact, he helped give the name for Monolith's Xenoblade Chronicles series.
He was just a joy to see in Directs. He kept them fun, interesting, and informative. You can't help but smile every time he says that he will bring Nintendo news "Directly to you."
Now that he's gone, it's a massive shame. It's more troubling that Nintendo is in the middle of a transition phase without a leader...
Iwata, you are gone, but you will never be forgotten. You helped etch many things in Nintendo's history and helped create many great moments for us. Your legacy will live on forever.
May you rest in peace and my thoughts go to your friends and family and everyone at Nintendo. It won't be the same without you. Thank you for everything that you've done.
