Sad day for Nintendo fans. Yesterday, it was confirmed that president Satoru Iwata passed away of bile duct growth. He was only 55. He inspired many memes and looked like he was ageless.
He began work at Hal Laboratory in 1980's and became the 4th president of Nintendo in 2002.
Without him, HAL Laboratory wouldn't be so highly regarded. From creating Earthbound from scratch to adding Kanto to Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal, he kicked some serious programming butt. Without him, he'll no longer help with all the phenomenal Nintendo franchises. I send huge condolences to the Iwata family and Nintendo.
Rest in peace, Satoru Iwata. You were a great man.
