MacLovin Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Christopher Lee, Leonard Nimoy, Terry Pratchett, and now Satoru Iwata. Lots of nerd culture legends have passed on this year. I think the fondest childhood memories will consist of one and a buddy sitting around playing on a gameboy with a crowd of other kids watching over your shoulders. fuck graphics and gore and all that shit: Iwata and co. just wanted fun. and then they turn around and make Bayonetta 2 a wii u exclusive to the ire of many other people.

Jotari Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Regarding that rainbow, how much confirmation is there for it? Call me a cynic for thinking so but photo shopping a rainbow into an image of Nintendo HQ and posting it on the net isn't that hard a task. Plus, you know, the whole thing just seems too perfect.

Bayonetta 2 is still a fun game. Nintendo wouldn't have invested in it otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapbar Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Man, the more I think about this the more depressing it gets. He ain't gonna see the Nintendo Amusement park rides, the launch of the NX or any of that. And I don't particularly envy the poor guy who has to fill his shoes.

Jedi Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Bayonetta 2 is still a fun game. Nintendo wouldn't have invested in it otherwise. Nintendo was the only company willing to even invest in it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading his Iwata asks for Xenoblade Chronicles X earlier today. He seemed excited and eager to play it, as he always does. Yet he'll probably never had a chance to play through the final version even though its finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Maybe, guys, Iwata will get to see this stuff from another place. From above, where he might be watching over Nintendo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effect is too powerful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIZVQxcFW7A What a powerful effect indeed...I was reading his Iwata asks for Xenoblade Chronicles X earlier today. He seemed excited and eager to play it, as he always does. Yet he'll probably never had a chance to play through the final version even though its finished.But think about it. He'll be able to enjoy Xenoblade X in the afterlife at the same time we all will, right?It's the thought that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze The Great Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm severely late to this thread, but RIP to Mr. Iwata and condolences to his family and friends. The world lost a great man, and a legend among people like us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Angry Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 This guy pretty much helped making a part of my childhood enjoyable, and, honestly, i cried a little when i read the news this morning. These 13 years in Nintendo should have been 26 or more, it was such a short time... But it's been a good time, nonetheless. I'll remember his irreverence and fun-loving personality fondly, and i don't mean to be presumptuous when i say this, but i think i speak for a lot of people when i wish a long life for his legacy.

NoirCore Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Rest in wonderful peace, Mr. Iwata... We indeed understand. We understand all but one thing. Why did you have to leave the living so soon...? Why did this stupid illness... Sigh... The best I can do is keep enjoying video games, and I don't need to be asked to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughx Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I don't particularly envy the poor guy who has to fill his shoes. I really hope the next guy will try to resist the inverstors' pressure as much as Iwata did. (Nintendo's stocks increased after the announcement of Mr. Iwata's death) He really didn't want Nintendo to make crappy mobile games that has most of their features behind a paywall.

Rxmonste Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Life wouldn't have been this good for me if it weren't for him. Despite the fact that I myself disagreed with a lot of the business choices he made for Nintendo, I still appreciate all of the incredible effort that he put in. He was a legend that will be forever missed. Edited July 14, 2015 by Rxmonste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rxmonste Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Uhhh? Oops, that was a typo. Sorry, I corrected it. "He was a legend that will be forever missed." I think I originally meant to write that he will never be forgotton. Edited July 14, 2015 by Rxmonste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
