Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Is Dead
![]() Here's his Iwata Asks interview series. If you ever wonder why I'm so dogmatic about gameplay systems and admittingly biased toward Japanese game design, it's because of stuff that gets covered in this series that I have enjoyed over the years. He was a pretty cool cat and big loss for the industry. A president and representative who actually coded things worth a damn. RIP |

When he skipped out on this year's E3 over because of illness a lot of people dismissed it as an excuse. I didn't think much of it, myself. Didn't know it was that serious.

RIP.
Now the question becomes: Is Nintendo fucked, and if so, to what degree? |

Woke up 2 minutes ago, saw the Mario FB had posted this news. Shocked.
RIP Mr Iwata. Thanks for the games, the laughs and the fun. |

According to Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto and Genyo Takeda are taking over as the interim bosses of the company until a successor is named.
Wall Street Journal thinks Miyamoto has a good chance at being Iwata's successor. http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2...ndo-successor/ http://www.destructoid.com/miyamoto-...a-295885.phtml |
