>it's almost been a year since he left this world
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwHZwvTdnPIseriously did anyone see his death coming at all
>>343019978
Yeah, I'm sure he did
He had been sick for a while with throat cancer or something of the like..
Honestly loved the guy was a allegedly the programming genius behind Pokemon.
Nintendo will be shit without him no doubt.
>>343019978
I had been hoping for it for about 10 years, so yeah. In a way, I did.
>>343019978
We did know he had an operation on his bile duct, so while I didn't expect him to die so soon I wasn't exactly surprised. Also you could die of a stroke at any moment.
>>343019978
I knew he had something serious when he missed E3 two years in a row and didn't even appear in the Nintendo Direct.
>>343020764
Edgy
>>343019978
He died too early.
However, that doesn't excuse the fanboys and shitposters for acting the way they did.
>>343019978
Yes, I knew he'd die eventually.
>>343019978
>seriously did anyone see his death coming at all
Not so soon, the information leaked about his health issues was deemed fake by nintendo, but when we was missing for 1 week before E3 people started taking the rumour more seriously
>>343020969
Sorry that I love Nintendo and hate the man who sapped all the life from it.
>that feel when all the people that were responsible for the games you loved growing up will be dead long before you are
>>343020771
>Also you could die of a stroke at any moment.
No way, only fat people run that risk
did he ever appear in public again after having that "bile duct obstruction" removed? He was looking haggard as shit even before that too
>>343021185
There is a non-zero probability that a stroke will kill you no matter how young and healthy you are. You could have a hitherto undetected brain abnormality.

>Nintendo will be shit without him no doubt.
>He went for the blue ocean strategy
>he was responsible for the Wii
>he was responsible for the lack of games for the Wii
>he was responsible for giving 0 fucks about the people that have them almost 20 years of loyalty
>he was responsible for releasing teh 3DS only to fuck early adopters a couple of months after release with a price drop
>he was responsible for releasing the WiiU and treating 3rd parties like niggers in the 60s
>he was responsible for having the worst selling nintendo console in the history of the company
I wonder if nintendo would have suffered as much as it did without him
>disliked Iwata for years
>now can't hate him without appearing edgy
I didnt want him dead though, just gone. And now that he died in office everything he set in motion is supported 100% because muh honor so we really wont see a new Nintendo until 2025 most likely.
Do you guys think they'll release a streetpass Mii of Iwata at the anniversary of his death?

>>343021185
Eh, my uncle had what i would call normal weight and he died thanks to a stroke
>>343020597
He was a programming god, so I feel like his genius was squandered on the business side of things. I hate to say it, giving how much I loved Iwata, but Nintendo is in much more qualified hands with Kimishima.
>>343019978
who gives a fuck
Am I the only one who knew he was dying? Iwata-san had lost a scary amount of weight, and it wasn't the good kind of weight loss. He was extremely gaunt and it really shocked me. No one every mentions that though, for some reason.
>>343021501
This is funny. How much did MK8 and SSB4 even do for the WiiU?
You nintendo guys are creepy bastards. I bet you aren't going to cry for your parents as much as you did for Iwata.
>>343021762
Nah, Kimmy will probably gain full control at the end of this year. The NX is likely the end of Iwata's say.
>>343022025
Oh yeah because Nintendo is doing so fucking well right now and Hiroshima did so many amazing things to save it like... huh... let NoA free reigns on censorship? Not talk about the NX at all at E3? Double down on mobile synergies? Literally letting the Wii U die harder than Sony dropped the Vita? And... remind me again, why do people like this guy?
>>343022370
>Mario Kart 8: As of March 31, 2016, the game has sold 7.50 million copies worldwide
>SSB4: By the end of March 2016, the 3DS version had sold 8.12 million copies worldwide, while the Wii U version sold 4.80 million copies worldwide
>>343022495
Breath of the Wild alone has far, far more creativity and soul than anything created by Nintendo under Iwata's.
>>343022408
He played a pretty significant part in creating some of the things I love most in the world. I didn't cry but it was sad as fuck.
And fuck off I love my parents, go shitpost somewhere else bruh
>>343022495
>guy hasn't even been president for ten months
>"WOW WHY HASN'T HE CREATED GLOBAL PEACE AND SOLVED WORLD HUNGER YET!? REALLY MAKES YOU THINK!"
>>343022753
Nah, BotW doesn't have even half the soul or creativity of games like Mario Galaxy or Xenoblade.
I hope he's burning in some deep corners of hell for his involvement the Wii.
He is the Pontius Pilate of casual gaming.
>>343022892
>DUDE KIMISHIMA WILL SAVE NINTENDO
>What? How do you know, he's literally done and said nothing yet?
>DUDE KIMISHIMA LMAO
>>343019978
Fuck that nigger
>>343022657
I wouldn't laugh but that collage of resolute anons with fingers in their ears just makes it hilarious.
>>343019978
I know he asked nicely
But i still don't understand
>>343022495
>And... remind me again, why do people like this guy?
he saved Earthbound
>>343022978
All I said is that Iwata was a programmer and not a businessman so I think Nintendo is in better hands with Kimishima. I never claimed he'd solve all their problems over night, you fucking autist.
Besides, Kimishima made the Gamecube a success in NA when it flopped everywhere else. There is reason to believe in his abilities.
>>343019978
What's even sadder is that he publicly shared his slimmer, updated Mii on Twitter only a month before he passed: http://nintendonews.com/news/general/satoru-iwata-mii-healthier-slimmer/
Definitely seems like he didn't expect to pass so soon.
>>343020764
Pfft you call that edge
>>343023226
Iwata saved Earthbound you massive fucking retard. Kimishima didn't save shit yet.
>>343021131
Janitor to hero
lol who cares about this literally who chink.
>>343024396
I only half read his post
Im fucking tired you fucking syrup sucker
>>343019978
ITS ALREADY BEEN A YEAR?! WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I BEEN DOING?!!!111!!!111
>>343024675
Certainly not playing video games I hope.
>>343019978
>browsing /v/ the day of his death
>see an IWATA DEAD thread
>dismiss it as shitposting
>more threads pop up
>Smiles and Tears starts playing everywhere on /v/
>realize its true
Man. I remembered it like it was yesterday.
I just came back home from six flags opened up /v/ and heard gay music and saw the sticky.
Laughed and went to bed and proceeded to shitpost for the week while watching Nintentoddlers on youtube cry
Shit was hilarious.
>>343024897
>six flags
>>343021501
But I like the wii...
