Woah! Did not see this coming at all. He looked so healthy last time we saw him.

Thanks for all you did Iwata. I know your job was very stressful over the past few years, but I knew you were up to the challenge.

I didn't even know he was ill, what...? I do remember him having to sit out an E3 or something, but he recovered. This is just...completely out of the left field, just like Robin Williams. Speaking of which, I've lost three people that helped define my childhood within a year now. Just...why...?

Also, this thread should be in General Gaming. It's Nintendo-related.

Unless he did another interview for Happy Home Designer, probably.

RIP Mr. Iwata, you will be extremely missed.

Very sudden and sad indeed. Just goes to show you how fragile life is. 55 is a younger age to die at now in days. Its hard to believe that my own parents are just 5 years younger. I know alot of people disagreed with him and the way Nintendo was running but regardless its still a sad and terrible thing for any family to go through. Regards and god bless to his family and friends.
