Programmed EarthBound Created Kirby Programmed the battle mechanics of Pokemon Stadium Made it possible to get Kanto in Pokemon Gold and Silver Took a pay cut during Nintendo's rough patch rather than firing people And so much more Iwata was a freaking legend #ThankYouIwata
This man was one of the few people in the gaming industry that made video games fun. To die at 55 is a really sad tragedy… From games to were made for pure enjoyment, to others that told memorable stories, Iwata made games for a reason and one reason only:
Fun. Something that a majority of gamers seem to forget nowadays. Sometimes they think that a game has to have realistic visuals in order to be "fun." But there's more to a game than just the graphics, much more: it's the gameplay (and the story, depending on the genre.)
Admittingly, he made mistakes. Like how many people were disappointed at E3 2015. However, nobody in this world is perfect, we all make mistakes.
And what's even sadder, is that he left saying that he apologizef for what happened at E3. He wanted to listen to his fans after that day. And he left us with Super Mario Maker, so that we could make our own games, and dreams. Heck, even Sony acknowledged him! And they're business rivals!
I'm buying that game just so I can have a little mometo from him. And if you're like me, you would probably do the same.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have some Majora's Mask 3D to play.
This is terrible and sudden. And this makes me worry about Nintendo, since Iwata always worked so hard to keep the spirit of Nintendo alive and not give in to the demands of all the businessmen that knew nothing of games and wanted only smartphone games. So who will take over for Iwata? Will he be some no-name businessman who will do everything wrong and destroy the work Iwata made? Or will it be someone passionate and knowledgable in games?
Iwata and what he did at Nintendo will change my life forever. When I was a small child and my parents where going through a divorce all I had with me was my Wii. I hardly had any friends because I was a Nintendo gamer and I was often very sad. But, when I put in a disc whole new world opened up to me that I never imagined existed. Things got worse for me years later when I became depressed about being assaulted by my father and went to court rooms every week for my right to stay away from him. What made me last through those dark days was my Nintendo Ds and all the games that I played. Now being older and looking back on my life, if it was not for Nintendo and Iwata my life may have been much darker. I could have turned to drugs and drinks but instead Nintendo let me turn to them. Thank you Iwata for turning me into the person I am today, and thank you for inspiring millions of kids around the world.
There are quite a few Nintendo haters in the comments and with the dislikes that are seemingly appreciating Iwata's death. If you hate Nintendo, that doesn't mean you should have no concern at all for his death. Talk about heartless. I can't believe you kinds of people…
There's a few heartless idiot's in the comments… including the dislikes. why!?.

Hes only fucking 55 years old. Wtf. What was the cause of death …
……sigh….He's gone, guys…
If a Microsoft or Sony fanboy EVEN laughs about this…
#GeckoThought No.24:
It's needless to say, that not even the most heroic individuals last forever, so they have to create something that will.
TOMORROW I'M PLAYING 55 BRAWL MATCHES ON THE WII.

The Nintendo fanbase was such a dick during his last days of life.
I remember him from the "please understand" memes, that was the way i got to know him at first

Stay fresh and please understand.
May you inspire and play in peace.
Rest in piece Iwata……..
Who the fuck in their right mind would dare dislike this video
I can't help but wonder what will happen next, who will replace him?
There's a petition to Immortalize Iwata in the upcoming Zelda Wii U. Check it out.

why must the best people die so young
I'm not familiar with Nintendo employees. Was this Iwata person really that important?
