Respect for Iwata. Truly a great man. The gaming industry just lost a giant.

i think its also sad for the fact that i really think nintendo is on a huge resurgence, these mobile games are about to take off and i think the nx is gonna have a great announcement, and he wont be able to see any of it...:/
