Sadly, I just read that Sir Christopher Lee has passed away.  An incredible talent with a rich history of achievements, a sad day indeed.

RIP Mr. Iwata

[L___E___T]

I have just read that our Dear friend Satoru Iwata has sadly passed away, at what is a relatively young age too...

Not everyone agreed with his initiatives, but he did a lot of good for Nintendo, how on Earth will they replace him.

So sad. Iwata always seemed like a pretty great guy. I'll be playing some Balloon Fight in his honor.

[jorygriffis]

  Very very sad, even sadder than when Yamauchi died since Iwata was so terribly young.

It would be nice to get a few details together of the games he worked on during the Famicom age.

He seemed a really really nice chap too.  I wasn't aware he was battling cancer either.

Indeed sad.. R.I.P

Rest in peace.
