"No matter the farewell, I think the most appropriate thing to say is, 'We'll meet again.' We are friends so we'll see each other again. There is nothing strange about saying it. Yeah, we'll meet again. Even if you didn't have the chance to put into words how sudden it was going to be, how far you'd be traveling, or how you went much earlier than expected, I know you went wearing your best. You always put yourself second to others no matter what, helping anyone who needed it whenever they needed it. You were that kind of friend. Although you may have been a little selfish for the first time ever by taking this journey.

The truth is, though, that I still don't believe any of it. I feel like I am going to receive a message from you inviting me out to eat at any moment. I wouldn't mind if you were to ask me like always if I had some free time. If you did, I'd ask you as well. Still, "we'll meet again." It would be great to hear from you whenever and wherever; I'll being calling to you too. I'll call if I have something to discuss or I want to tell you a great new idea I've had. We'll meet again. Then again, you're here with me now." — Shigesato Itoi

A Tumblr user called peachbunny made this.
 
I couldnt believe this when i first read it this morning. Then i read the tweets, and the posts on miiverse, the tributes for him everywhere. The art. Oh my god. I just started crying at that point.

Part of what kills me too, is that well never see pleasant face addressing us during the directs ever again.
 
What a wonderful amazing man Iwata was. This is a very sad time in gaming history he will be greatly missed... Just goes to show how dangerous Cancer really is. It can target anyone and there's not a whole lot that can be done to help.

I thank you so much Iwata for giving me wonderful friends via gaming as I was a lonely child growing up. May you rest in peace knowing you have done many great things.

i started crying as i was going through town with my mom today in her car because a lot of technology-esque businesses have their american flags down too
although that might be for a different reason altogether it just made me really sad
 
I snapped this up on Smash 4 a little while ago.
It took a while, but I'm glad with how it came out.
:''')

Who's the new president...? Anyways...I can't believe it's a already 3 days since he died ;-;. I can hear his voice saying: Hello everyone! I'm Satoru Iwata. President and CEO of Nintendo. Today on this Nintendo Direct....*sniff* Who's gonna replace him now?
 
These videos are all so heavy. I think it's going to take a little more time to fully come terms with how much I'm going to miss his face and humour in the nintendo world. Already it's all feeling pretty bleak.

We've definitely lost someone special far too early in Mr. Iwata, but what a legacy it is that he's helped to build. His games and charm will enrich our gaming spaces for many more years to come, even if he isn't still with us.
 
I am glad I bought Balloon Fight on my 3ds its such a great game and all. Watching Nintendo direct now just won't be the same no more I know I still have faith in Nintendo though.
 
Thank you Mr. Iwata. Nintendo has had a huge impact on my life, especially Pokemon which has been with me since I was very young;; R.I.P.
