I think this is going to be the celebrity death that hurts the most for a while. Nintendo has been a big part of my life since I was a little kid playing NES, and he's made so many wonderful games possible over the years. While his decisions weren't always the best, Iwata made sure everyone knew gaming didn't always have to be about the best graphics or dark stories, but could be just amazing with colorful graphics and silly gameplay. It really felt like he always had "gaming should be fun" at the forefront of his policies, something we don't always see these days. He ran the company well, and was a great man with a great personality and passion for gaming. Rest easy, Satoru Iwata.
