Satoru Iwata...
President and CEO of Nintendo.. an honest hero, if I do say so myself.. Today, we've lost a valuable friend... And honestly, I feel like this is all a nightmare, even writing this. Just thinking of how many smiling faces were made possible thanks to this man... thinking of all the fantastic memories... thinking of the inspiration that I, along with thousands of others, have been blessed with... A lot of that was thanks to Iwata. Even through rough moments, there was never a time where Iwata disappointed me.. I always had a spurge of joy fill my heart when I saw Iwata in a Nintendo Direct, or when he made any announcement via blogging. Seeing this man perform such miracles and make so many people happy has made me really inspired. I honestly can't imagine what life would be like in this world (not even just for gamers) without Satoru Iwata.
Rest in peace, dear friend to many. Regardless of your beliefs, you have my deepest prayers.
