It is truly a sad that yesterday, Mr. Iwata passed away at 55 years old. He became the 4th president of Nintendo in 2002, but even before then he made huge contributions towards series like Earthbound and Kirby. While he was president, he pushed Nintendo forward as the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii systems were introduced to the world. These are only a small sample of the innovations he helped to make.

Rest in peace, Satoru Iwata. May you legacy live on in Nintendo and its success. You will be greatly missed.
