>Yfw the last thing Iwata did for Nintendo was apologize to the fans about Nintendo's E3 presentation and he only wanted to make it better for next time
Meanwhile, your latest console has been plagued with problems, embarrassingly so after the sales euphoria of the Wii, but you're hoping your new project can turn things around.
Can you imagine your last thought being, "next time. I can fix this." And then that's it?

fucking rip my hardest niggy

too young,

rip

Heard about this, what's really soul crushing is what Shigesato Itoi said (He's dude who made Earthbound, which Iwata is responsible for making playable basically).

"No matter the farewell, I think the most appropriate thing to say is, 'We'll meet again.' We are friends so we'll see each other again. There is nothing strange about saying it. Yeah, we'll meet again. Even if you didn't have the chance to put into words how sudden it was going to be, how far you'd be traveling, or how you went much earlier than expected, I know you went wearing your best. You always put yourself second to others no matter what, helping anyone who needed it whenever they needed it. You were that kind of friend. Although you may have been a little selfish for the first time ever by taking this journey.

The truth is, though, that I still don't believe any of it. I feel like I am going to receive a message from you inviting me out to eat at any moment. I wouldn't mind if you were to ask me like always if I had some free time. If you did, I'd ask you as well. Still, "we'll meet again." It would be great to hear from you whenever and wherever; I'll being calling to you too. I'll call if I have something to discuss or I want to tell you a great new idea I've had. We'll meet again. Then again, you're here with me now."

they will meet again in gods kingdom
