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.

Ah thanks Sir Digby, didnt realise it was cancerous, wondered why it struck so fatally I just assumed it was something more mundane
