Elieson Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Rainbow over Nintendo HQ today. Fitting, that Iwata finally hits Rainbow Road on his way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotari Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Rainbow over Nintendo HQ today. Fitting, that Iwata finally hits Rainbow Road on his way out Oh wow. That's like super worth commenting on. Did he have much involvement in the Mario Kart series? I know his Mii is one of the ones they throw around but that could just be beacue he was their CEO.

Elieson Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) He was involved in 9 of the 11 MK games (everything after MK64). We all know his crowning accomplishment though (well, before Pokémon of course) Edited July 13, 2015 by Elieson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryhard Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 To be honest, I was not a fan of many of his decisions but I could see that he was a compassionate and proactive man, and it's foolish to expect everything to go well in a job such as his. Rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I love fire emblem Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Satoru Iwata, thank you for all the games you help on and I wish I would've have known some of the things he work on, may you rest in peace you amazing man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical-Pigeon Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 When I first heard about this news I thought he actually left Nintendo, as in quitting. But about him passing like this it...it really tugs at you. There was so much he put into motion and so much he won't get to see...I'm just really shocked this happened. Rest well Iwata...May Naga bless you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasori Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This news came quite sudden and i'm saddened to see a man like Iwata go like that. A great programmer and in my opinion a good CEO as well, but I thought the best part about him was how involved he looked with his fans and his co-workers. Few CEO's commincated as much with their fans and I thought his way of doing the direct came across as very charming and genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Wow, that rainbow over Nintendo's HQ can't be a coincidence. God loves Nintendo and Iwata too. It must have pained him to have to make him leave this world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apox Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Dammit. First Christopher Lee, then my grandmother and now Iwata-san. 2015, may I kindly ask you to fuck off and kill good people no more? We had enough grief already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aegis Gray Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This is awful...I really can't believe this at all. He's just...gone. But...what he did and who he was isn't, and he'll always be remembered. Rest in peace, Mr. Iwata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Jeez... I knew this was going to happen eventually, as it does with everyone. I just didn't think it would happen so soon... :( Good-bye, Mr. Iwata-san. You will forever be missed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingddd Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Something to remember. During the Games Developer Conference 2005 (GDC) where they showed off Mario Kart DS.Iwata had a lot of fun during that time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIiXEbMf9jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandSteve Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 After my parents and my sisters, Nintendo probably had the greatest influence on my childhood. It really sucks that a secondary father figure of mine would die just seven months after my real father. As far as a tribute goes, I'm going to vote for Balloon Fighter on the Smash ballot. Balloon Fight was one of the first video games that Iwata was heavily involved in the development of. I'm sure Sakurai would be delighted to put some tribute to Iwata in Smash, considering how often they worked together even before Iwata became Nintendo's President.
