[quote]Nintendo Co., Ltd. deeply regrets to announce that President Satoru Iwata passed away on July 11, 2015 due to a bile duct growth.
Iwata was forced to skip last year’s E3 due to his poor health, and shortly afterwards underwent surgery to remove the bile duct growth.[/quote]

I looked it up and this guy has been with the company since 2002. I remember when I first got my DS Lite and Pokémon Pearl and New Super Mario Bros were the only things I played. I played NSMB often with my cousins. We would have so much fun. My childhood included my DS Lite. As the years progressed I stopped playing my DS and got into Xbox. I didn't care about Nintendo as much anymore. Every now and then I got nostalgia. Learning about Iwata's passing is extremely sad. My childhood would have been dull without him and Nintendo. Rest in Peace, Satoru Iwata. May you find peace in the next chapter. Thank you for all those moments in my childhood. I wish I could travel back in time to revisit them.
