THE UNTIMELY END OF A GENIUS
If you haven't seen the trending topic world wide, Satoru Iwata--CEO of Nintendo, and Gamer Extraordinaire, has passed away at the YOUNG age of 55.
Cause of death was growth on his bile duct, which he'd had surgery on earlier, but it returned unexpectedly.
His legacy will go down as one of the BEST and BIGGEST in Gaming as he touched so many games and franchises including Earthbound and Kirby--and had become the face of not just Nintendo BUT gaming in general over the last several decades. Iwata was the FOURTH president, only the fourth in their 126 year history--a position he'd held since 2002--and was probably the most recognized personality.
R.I.P Mr. Iwata...you're playing games on a WHOLE new Level now.

First to Apple, and now to Nintendo...
When the driving force of a company is forcibly removed, the company makes negative progress.
All we can do is hope that somebody equally influential takes his place...
Now, Nintendo resorts to making Minecraft and Candy Crush Clones. Who knows what can come next...

NOoooo, Nintendo will hopefully follow Iwata's principles.
"On my business card, I am a corporate businessman.
In my mind, I am a game developer.
But in my heart, I am a gamer."
He always asked himself - How does THIS reflect Nintendo.
that's why most (Most...) Nintendo titles are quality that defies time it's self.
SMB, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Kart, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Kirby etc etc. All theses games are "old", yet they still retained the fun we once had back then. I'm sure Nintendo will respectfully try to follow his business motto.
Also, Miyamoto. Not all is lost... yet.

I remember when I found out from a team member. It feels different without him. He will be missed. :/
