Not sure how many of you got into gaming, but I am sure a number of us went through Nintendo when we got our hands on the controller at some point in time, all of us, I did, my girl did, my friends, etc, it is rare for one to not know who Mario is, or who Mr. Iwata is.
It sucks things like this happens, but it is what it is and people mourn, people move on.
A majority of us Gamers didn't except this, even Nintendo's friends and competition felt it too.

I'm a fan of Nintendo, so this is news makes me sad.

Ooooh someone posted about it. Yeah, I got sad too, to the point of still getting emotive when I see homages.

Not saying that his death wasn't sad but it's even sadder that he died at only 55
