Even when Iwata made mistakes, my admiration of him was unshakable. He led Nintendo through one of the most difficult times in their whole history, and in that time he gave himself a pay cut because of the financial problems they were facing. There are CEOs who would gouge out their own eyes before they'd do that. The guy was really passionate about games, and his #1 goal was to bring joy to Nintendo's customers. I truly believe that's the best legacy anyone could ask for.
RIP Iwata, and thanks for all the memories.
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline.

Indeed. Since this happened, all platform wars seem to have just disappeared. Even though I fully expect them to eventually reappear, it really reinforces the fact that at the end of the day, we're just people doing what we love.StreetLights wrote:No console fans, no PC fans.

Yeah, let's keep off-topic discussion to their respective threads, Okay? I know you can't really predict if by making an off-topic comment, what others will reply with and how the progress of a thread will happen, but please do keep in mind that if you think an off-topic comment will derail or diverge discussions.. reconsider your phrasing.
Carry on!
Actually regarding the original topic. Does anyone know if Mr. Iwata has any public memorial or grave or if that has been kept private? I would be curious if fans have left any flowers or anything at Nintendo HQ in Japan or anything along those lines.

I think there's one at Nintendo's HQ too, but I don't know for certain.
