Hello everyone.

I just learned about this on Twitter a few minutes ago, but I regret to inform you all that Nintendos Director and NOA CEO Satoru Iwata passed away yesterday at the age of 55 due to a "bile duct growth" according to the official response by Nintendo. According to other reports I've read this same problem is what caused him to miss E3 last year as he had to undergo surgery to get it out. Unfortunately it seems that it came back and that he wasn't so lucky this time around sadly. He will be missed.
