Post Satoru Iwata RIP
very sad to learn of this just a short time ago.......

http://kotaku.com/nintendos-president-h ... 1717386412

I still have the email from his personal assistant inquiring about a Kusogon-
it is almost odd that someome so affluent would have such a genuine polite
way of expression and gratitude to one so meaningless as myself.

My mind was blown by that inquiry.

Arigatou Gozaimashita- Satoru Iwata RIP


Inhale, exhale
Forward, back
Living, dying

Arrows, let flown
each to each
Meet midway
and slice

The void in aimless flight
thus I return to the
source

Gesshu Soko

There are very few people in the games industry who's passing would move me, but Iwata-san was one of those few. Such a loss for games, Nintendo and his family.

That is sad news to hear about his passing, especially at such a relatively young age. Many condolences to all his family and friends. I know he will be missed among the company and the fans for his legacy on the video gaming industry.

Not much to add except RIP.
He was involved in many games:

One game (of the many) that deserves to be played:
