At the age of 55, Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, passed away due to a bile duct growth.

I can't say anything right now about this besides this being just downright soul crushing.

I'm more shocked than depressed right now. I know he had health issues the last few years but it kind of came out of nowhere. I thought people were trolling me when I first read about it.

I ultimately wonder what happens now with Nintendo and all.

From what I heard, both Genyo Takeda and Shigeru Miyamoto are going to be managing the company for the time being.

And also, yeah, even with his health problems it didn't seem like he was going to die anytime soon.

Rest in peace.

This struck me as I woke up yesterday. That was a punch to the stomach.

Those Nintendo Directs and Iwata Asks certainly made the man appealing. And then I watched his GDC 2005 keynote a few months ago. He certainly felt like he loved programming and games.

I nearly cried yesterday. And today after seeing so much fanart, that was the final blow for me.
And his last message for us was him apologizing for this year's Nintendo Digital Event, which felt lacking but certainly wasn't the worst.

Nintendo is my childhood, and having this kind of news over someone I respect feels really bad. I didn't feel this way for Yamauchi. I feel like I'm typing shit.

Rest in peace, Satoru Iwata.

As a programmer myself, I was very impressed by his accomplishments. Even my boss was talking about the stuff he's done. He will certainly be missed.

All of the lovely tributes to him made me cry.
