It was about 1 AM when I heard the news, and it really struck me. He seemed like a very relaxed, kind-hearted person. RIP, he will be sorely missed.

"On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer." - Satoru Iwata

I truly hope this doesn't do to Nintendo, what losing Steve has done to Apple

That is very sad, though why was he still President if so ill? The pressure couldn't have helped.

I truly hope this doesn't do to Nintendo, what losing Steve has done to Apple

It won't.
