I knew he was ill but I suppose I convinced myself that he was on the recovery so I was shocked to find out about his departure. Definitely not the kind of news I want to wake up to.
Iwata always felt like someone who understood, respected and valued the craftmanship behind game creation and I really appreciated his efforts to create a more personal bond between Nintendo and its fans.

Rest in peace Iwata-san.
