In case anyone is looking for a more official source, this was covered both on Nintendo of Japan's website (e: ninja'd) and Sakurai's twitter.


Still though, this is incredibly tragic. R.I.P.

This is the saddest thing I've heard in a while, and it hurts.

I am shocked. We have lost a great man who played a big part in my childhood and stayed with the company I loved until the very end. RIP Iwata. You will not be forgotten.

God... God damn... Hearing about one of your idols dying, someone who made it possible for you to spend hours enjoying yourself with games, it's just... God. Rest in peace, Iwata.

 

[Weasel]

I... uh... wow. I'm honestly speechless right now.

Rest in peace, Iwata. Thank you so much for all you've done in helping shape my childhood.
