RIP Satoru Iwata

A sad day for video games as Nintendo president Satoru Iwata died at the too young age of 55

To see him talking and joking around E3 just a few weeks ago and his notorious puppets it has come more of a shock.

RIP

Hasn't he recently had surgery Simon?

I don't think he was very well. Not sure of what was wrong with him.
