It's so fucking sad, this guy had nothing but pure passion for everything Nintendo and would have rather had happy people playing his games and using his technology than fame and money any day. He had what few people in this industry have anymore and that's respect for his products, his employees, his business, and most importantly his customers. I am not ashamed to say this video made me cry and I am not that much of a Nintendo fan. Goodbye Iwata, you shall be greatly missed, the world is a darker place without you. Rest in piece my friend.

***** you are a idiot. Please go somewhere else to spout off how big you keyboard is or whatever childish nonsense. If you don't see what what Iwata-san did for Nintendo then you have the same IQ rating as mayonase.
I was just reminiscing about the old days, remembering Iwata and and many other people who defined who I am today; you're comment is beautiful man, I couldn't agree more...
Cookie Monster Yamauchi was not like iwata at all. Most people didnt even knew Yamauchi, but Iwata was a more present president with the nintendo directs and E3 conferences.
when does a man truly die? when he is hit by a bullet? no. when he dies of an incurable desease? no. a man dies when he is forgotten. and i will not forget you, mister satoru iwata :)
I'll never forget you Iwata...ya know I never had a chance to thank you... So thank you for giving me a life of excitement with your small creations they had a big impact on my small life and brought me an immense amount of Happiness. See you in heaven Iwata can't wait to play some Legend of Zelda with you and Robin Williams 😭👊🏼🎉
Marcus Snall Hey man, people have priorities! While I was in college I think I only played a little bit of Brawl, almost every ounce of my effort had to go towards graduation. Now I can play again, wee!
There needs to be a special amiibo released in his honor... we need at least something to always have of him. i want a statue of him on my shelf and when my son asks"who is that dad?" You know what i will tell him? i will say "son, that was once a great man who had a huge positive influance within my life. That man was someone you can appreciate to always see, hear and love. He was the man to know one way or another. He was Satoru Iwata.
Same here. But don't be ashamed. In my case, I can say that some of the best moments in my life exist thanks to him. And he also made sad times more bearable. I'm looking at you, Mario 64
I'm scared to see that day come. It hurts me to hear someone die like that. Myamoto was my biggest inspiration for video games. And I really want to meet the man before he goes. I've always wanted to see mr iwata and I never got the opportunity to meet him. I was devastated 😰 just truly devastated 😢😢
A man who oversaw his company through some of its greatest moments, and some of its biggest failures, but he always seemed to stay strong. Rest In Peace Mr.Iwata
Never been a huge fan of Nintendo, but always a huge fan of gaming and this man was integral to this industry and to the hobby we all love and enjoy. It's always sad to see someone huge, inspiring and prolific leave this world, even worse when they are one of our own. So long Satoru, put in a good word for the rest of us - you'll forever be missed! #ThankYouIwata
otaku_dreamz No I shouldn't, and you shouldn't either. You're clearly just going out of your way to find something offensive about the video despite the fact there was no intent made to make anybody feel offended. Just look back at the video and you'll clearly see the majority of people who commented/rated the news video don't care about the music.
If there is an after-life I can see Iwata and Yokoi walking next to each other laughing and enjoying the memories of the legacies they left behind. First Yokoi dies of a car accident and now Iwata dies of cancer. Why must the nicest and most humble people die unnecessary deaths? They will never be forgotten and I hope future developers learn from their accomplishments. Thank you for everything you did for us Iwata, say hi to Gunpei for me.
This man was a pioneer in the gaming industry. He made sacrifices throughout his career & shaped Nintendo for what it is today. This is a sad loss. My condolences to his family & for the entire Nintendo community.
This man has inspired many people around the world, and has given many people things to make them laugh, be entertained, but most of all, happy. Nintendo has never seen a CEO so full of joy and have such a good sense of humor. Iwata was a living legend and while i personally never knew him, i do know he has inspired me, and a lot of other people, to be who we are today. Rest in Peace my friend and leave luck directly to heaven :(
This a part of life people, he created wonderful and enjoyable things for all of us to use and to "play with". No one can escape death, no one can stop the cycle of life, no one can be immortal..... We all are sad to hear this news, but just think maybe this is a sign for new things to come and for innovation, but we will all miss you former CEO/President Satoru Iwata. R.I.P
This man was literally my childhood and it's hard to believe it's been a year since he left this Earth..... I'll join you in the future and then we can settle it in smash. #thankyouiwata
And thank you IGN for this video. Mr Iwata was so important for my childhood, my girlfriend childhood and many other of my friends childhood. Thank you. Rest in peace Mr Iwata :(
This man was so full of life. It was so obvious for everyone how much this man enjoyed his job, and how happy he was to share this with others. Iwata was a true visionary, and I miss him already.
My childhood is gone. I played Nintendo all day when I was ages 5-10. Big loss to the gaming community, he got me into deeper gaming, like GTA V etc. on my Xbox One. Not ashamed to cry in this video.
Mr Iwata, I will always remember you as an inspiration. Someone who believed everyone should be able to have fun and play games. He brought happiness and a lot of silly laughs to our living room during the Nintendo Directs. Thank you for everything you've done.
Iwata, thank you for all that you have given to the gaming community. It will never be the same without you. "On my business card, I'm a corporate owner, in my head, I'm a game designer, in my heart, I'm a gamer"- Iwata Thank you, Rest In Piece.
Decided to come back to watch this after all these years, and even though most things that make people tear up have no effect on me at all, this still makes my face a small waterfall...
Beautiful video Ign, Iwata helped me follow the bright light I kept running towards as a child..from Mario world,legend of zelda to 007 and Super smash brothers I thank you for not just sheering the darkness life brings,but also showing the world that video games can heal the heart,the importance of it all and helping me grow and prosper as an adult to have and give respect,always live happy and enjoy the little things that we notice too late..
Iwata occupies a lot of memories of my childhood...but the one thing I will always remember him for is when he and Reggie went out in a full Superman punch out.
I like how, no matter what the hell happened to him or Nintendo, he kept at it and never seemed downhearted. He was strong for basically everybody's benefit because it made him happy to see that people were enjoying games.
I am not ashamed to admit that this made me cry. I didn't know him personally, but from seeing him on Nintendo Direct's, Iwata Ask's, and anything game related, you begin to understand him and truly realize that he has made a huge impact on our lives. He's practically the family member that we never had. He cared for his fans and employees more than any other CEO and has always had a smile on his face. It's going to be hard to find someone as extraordinary as Mr. Iwata to fill in his shoes. Thank you Mr. Iwata for everything. Rest in Peace Satoru Iwata.
Anybody who's disliking this has absolutely no soul and I personally hope you burn in hell. Iwata's recent business decisions have been less than successful, but the impact he has had on the industry from being a developer himself all the way to the top will be felt for ages to come in the industry. There's very few more deserving of universal respect than Iwata.
He was responsible for my entire childhood experience with video games. What he made took me on adventures I'll never forget and made lifelong friends along the way. #ThankyouIwata Your time has come but your legacy is timeless.
From my age of 4 to my age of 24, rest in peace. You have brought me much joy through video games. Rest in peace, Satoru Iwata. ♡ my heart breaks for you and your family.
This is the first tribute to him I have seen that made me cry. Thank you, IGN, for this. Mr. Iwata, I thank you for all you did. I almost feel as though things will never be the same.
Satoru Iwata has done so much for the great company of Nintendo. He programmed Earth Bound, created Kirby, Programed the battle mechanics of Pokemon Stadium, Made it possible to get Kanto in Pokemon Gold and Silver, even cut his pay check in half when Nintendo was going through a rough time instead of firing employees. Satoru Iwata was a great man that is well to be remembered. R.I.P. Mr. President.
A true hero to the gaming world has died at a young age and we will never forget him we will always remember him through all the Nintendo games he has created. Some for example Pokemon, Legend of Zelda, Mario Bros, and Animal Crossing. Thank u Satoru Iwata for all u have done in the gaming world we will never forget u and u will never be forgotten and may your memories live in our hearts forever and the video games and systems u made and the spirit of entertaining us and never giving up 12/6/1959-7/11/15
a great man taken from us to soon. he wasn't a company executive first and foremost he was a man who loved games. rest in peace and thank you for all the good times.
i am deeply sadden by the loss of such a Great man Mr. Iwata. what a loss the gaming community has suffered. a man of Greatness that helped Nintendo to Greatness. he will forever be missed he was my hero and i am truly thankful for all his contributions to Nintendo and the gaming community and for all the smiles he put on faces of different ages. i wish i was able to meet him and say this face to face #ThankYouIwata
Corrupted isn't the word, more so....become hollow. It lost it's heart and soul. The source of that Nintendo magic. Sure Miyamoto still has it, but he can't carry the entire company like Iwata did.
After watching this, I had felt sadness, but at the same time I knew Iwata would not have wanted us to mourn over his death, instead let's celebrate his life and all the times he has made us laugh and smile and continue to be happy while gaming, because that's what he would've wanted in his final moment. Goodbye, Iwata-san and thank you. For everything. RIP
i still can't get over the fact that Mr. Satoru iwata is really gone. you really created something very unique, atleast for me, Mr. Iwata. You created games that will always be in my heart, that changed my view on life. is it really about being successful? or is it about having fun, doing something with a burning passion, doing something because you WANT to do it? everything in my life is fueled by a passion, a passion to create something unique. i will never forget you, Mr. Satoru Iwata. Gaming Legend!
i'm really left heartbroken to hear that satoru iwata is no longer with us. just thinking about all the small things in my life that are influenced by his work makes me really sad. i never knew him personally, and neither did he know me. but our lives still crossed in some kind of way, through technology, through the creations he did - and i played them, with my friends, with my parents, and even with my son. thank you, mr. satoru iwata. thank you for being one of us, for being a gamer. thank you nintendo for showing me the world of gaming, which is now a very big and important part of my life.
Man this is one of the saddest videos I've ever seen. I can't help but begin to cry. And the violin and piano music doesn't help. Does anyone know the song's name?
I feel so heart sick. We criticize him so much for not being successful with the Wii U that we forgot how unique he was and what crucial part he played in bringing us such special games and experiences. I feel like such a fool. I'm sorry, Mr.Iwata. You deserved more respect than I could ever give you.
It's so fucking sad, this guy had nothing but pure passion for everything Nintendo and would have rather had happy people playing his games and using his technology than fame and money any day. He had what few people in this industry have anymore and that's respect for his products, his employees, his business, and most importantly his customers.
I am not ashamed to say this video made me cry and I am not that much of a Nintendo fan.
Goodbye Iwata, you shall be greatly missed, the world is a darker place without you. Rest in piece my friend.

There goes some of my childhood. Rest easy old friend.
I wish he could respawn
That was just in bad taste ^
Aloha Iwata-san. Until next time.
***** you are a idiot.
Please go somewhere else to spout off how big you keyboard is or whatever childish nonsense.
If you don't see what what Iwata-san did for Nintendo then you have the same IQ rating as mayonase.
parallax I think the mule might be a better conversationalist.
He's not dead, he's just in a higher level than we are
Zelda Master2000 nice one.
Yeah....:')
Zelda Master2000 that comment alone was beautiful.........all of this just put me in tears and i been in tears since i heard :'(
True, his body is just dead thats all.
I was just reminiscing about the old days, remembering Iwata and and many other people who defined who I am today; you're comment is beautiful man, I couldn't agree more...
Directly to heaven
May he rest in peace
Gatorjoey64 true dat, he's incredibly deserving of it
***** why? Making millions upon millions of people happy seems like good enough clearance to me
Nick Fernandez
Amen. I think God is that merciful.
I'm not saying this because I hate him. I love that guy. I'm saying this because it is truth... And I'm saying it with sadness
Like I said, he might be, he also might not be. Honestly “religion” was thrown into the moment as soon as Heaven was mentioned
The moment you realize they used puppets at this last E3 because they didn't wanted to show Iwata dying of cancer...
Oh.. Just.. R.I.P
Holy shit that actually makes sense!! Now that just makes me even more sad.
+Xerperius didn't he had a tumor around the belly? Idk I read it somewhere but am not sure. :/
Oh god. ;-;
No, why? The puppet skits, puppet Reggie doing push ups and saying “My puppet body is ready”, why’d you have to ruin it?
"On my business card I'm CEO,

Couldnt have said it better myself
Yeah....
when does a man truly die? when he is hit by a bullet? no. when he dies of an incurable desease? no. a man dies when he is forgotten. and i will not forget you, mister satoru iwata :)
yeah, its from one piece manga ^^ but it fits this very well
Yes.
Almost in tears right now
I'm already crying
Devon Glow me too :'(
I feel you
damcs dude someone died seriously go play cod with your mountain dew and doritos
moyga i seen that one before, my cousin just saw that. He'll never get over that picture😥😣.
Watched the Nintendo direct today. Nintendo really isn’t the same without you, you did so much for everyone. Thank you again
Even after all these years. It still hurts inside. Nintendo is definitely not the same without him.
Things were the same when he was still in charge. Even they were DMCA strikes when he was in charge as well.
I'll never forget you Iwata...ya know I never had a chance to thank you... So thank you for giving me a life of excitement with your small creations they had a big impact on my small life and brought me an immense amount of Happiness. See you in heaven Iwata can't wait to play some Legend of Zelda with you and Robin Williams 😭👊🏼🎉
***** me too
damn..the feels
same
same but ocarina of time
And what if he is in Hell , you don't know no one knows. You can either end up in Hell or Heaven
R.I.P Iwata.
Although I haven't played any video games in nearly 2 years now, I still have to pay my respects.
DeOriginalDavid No video games in 2 years? i have nothing to say.
Marcus Snall Hey man, people have priorities! While I was in college I think I only played a little bit of Brawl, almost every ounce of my effort had to go towards graduation. Now I can play again, wee!
Ivan Mattos wee!
Ivan Mattos Wii!
DeOriginalDavid Please play something, and smile...
the man also learned english to better communicate with his fans... what a legend
He had better english that most english native's Japanese
Rewatching in 2024
Thank you Iwata
The years aren't the same anymore. Iwata was there at E3 when he announced the Wii. He brought us the yar of luigi.
May Mr. Iwata rest in peace.
There needs to be a special amiibo released in his honor... we need at least something to always have of him. i want a statue of him on my shelf and when my son asks"who is that dad?" You know what i will tell him? i will say "son, that was once a great man who had a huge positive influance within my life. That man was someone you can appreciate to always see, hear and love. He was the man to know one way or another. He was Satoru Iwata.
Rest in peace Iwata. us Nintendo fans and gamers alike will never forget you and your legacy will forever live on in our hearts.
My eyes...are iwataing..
I see what you did there.
I am crying and laughing at the same time :'D
SonicYoshi9000 i see iwata you did there
Lol
I'm sad I didnt expected this, but the day Miyamoto dies...I'll be crying like a little girl and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I wouldn't be the person I am without nintendo
I wouldnt be into gaming without nintendo. My first game was Wind Waker on the gamecube :(
Same here.
But don't be ashamed. In my case, I can say that some of the best moments in my life exist thanks to him. And he also made sad times more bearable.
I'm looking at you, Mario 64
I'm scared to see that day come. It hurts me to hear someone die like that. Myamoto was my biggest inspiration for video games. And I really want to meet the man before he goes. I've always wanted to see mr iwata and I never got the opportunity to meet him. I was devastated 😰 just truly devastated 😢😢
+Defualt Your not alone
He was so amazing, he made my childhood great and obviously cared deeply for the gaming community, both as a gamer and a creator.
A man who oversaw his company through some of its greatest moments, and some of its biggest failures, but he always seemed to stay strong. Rest In Peace Mr.Iwata
Dammit I'm crying again...
Never been a huge fan of Nintendo, but always a huge fan of gaming and this man was integral to this industry and to the hobby we all love and enjoy. It's always sad to see someone huge, inspiring and prolific leave this world, even worse when they are one of our own.
So long Satoru, put in a good word for the rest of us - you'll forever be missed!
#ThankYouIwata
its rare to see a c.e.o that cared so much about what his company made he was a wonderful man and he is happy where ever he may be.
Farewell Satoru Iwata you will always be remember.
an amazing creative man, a massive loss to the gaming community
Ethan Wong what did his reply say im intrigued
Sume
A visionary
IGN finally putting up non-disrespectful music in a video that involves Iwata.
phoenix-force411 Get over it. It's not a big deal.
otaku_dreamz
No I shouldn't, and you shouldn't either. You're clearly just going out of your way to find something offensive about the video despite the fact there was no intent made to make anybody feel offended.
Just look back at the video and you'll clearly see the majority of people who commented/rated the news video don't care about the music.
+otaku_dreamz iwata spent his life being happy. He wouldn't want you to remember him in a sad tone.
Do you know what song it is?
Nathan Thomas any luck?
Lots of childhoods where made because of him rest in peace
When he says "see you next time" my heart breaks, every time.
If there is an after-life I can see Iwata and Yokoi walking next to each other laughing and enjoying the memories of the legacies they left behind. First Yokoi dies of a car accident and now Iwata dies of cancer. Why must the nicest and most humble people die unnecessary deaths? They will never be forgotten and I hope future developers learn from their accomplishments. Thank you for everything you did for us Iwata, say hi to Gunpei for me.

I'm having a hard time believing that he's gone... He will be forever missed... #ThankYouIwata
This man was literally my childhood and it's hard to believe it's been a year since he left this Earth..... I'll join you in the future and then we can settle it in smash. #thankyouiwata
I'm devastated... He was always happy, with a smile on his face whenever i saw him and it inspired me...
No single man will ever be able to do anything like Iwata did for the gaming industry #ThankYouIwata
And thank you IGN for this video.
Mr Iwata was so important for my childhood, my girlfriend childhood and many other of my friends childhood.
Thank you.
Rest in peace Mr Iwata :(
5 years today and this video just made me tear up all over again. 😔
This man was so full of life. It was so obvious for everyone how much this man enjoyed his job, and how happy he was to share this with others. Iwata was a true visionary, and I miss him already.

He brought happiness and a lot of silly laughs to our living room during the Nintendo Directs.
Thank you for everything you've done.
This make me cry like this if u cry everytime
Every time
I'll never forget what the man did for Nintendo, he's always been there to brighten my mood.

No, I'm not cutting onions. Just genuinely teary eyed for this heavy loss. Bye Iwata.. See you next time
Beautiful video Ign, Iwata helped me follow the bright light I kept running towards as a child..from Mario world,legend of zelda to 007 and Super smash brothers I thank you for not just sheering the darkness life brings,but also showing the world that video games can heal the heart,the importance of it all and helping me grow and prosper as an adult to have and give respect,always live happy and enjoy the little things that we notice too late..

Mr.Iwata thank you for what you have done to shape the lives of anyone who played yours games, you truly were an amazing man. RIP
It has been 1 year scenes Satoru Iwata passed away 😭😪😇😢
He'll never know how many lives he touched. A programming genius, a marketing master, and a good Human.
why do i keep watching this?!?! it only makes me sad everytime haha.....Miss this guy
I like how, no matter what the hell happened to him or Nintendo, he kept at it and never seemed downhearted. He was strong for basically everybody's benefit because it made him happy to see that people were enjoying games.
MY GOD! THE FEELS!!! CAN'T KEEP THEM INSIDE!
This was so nostalgic! 😫😫😫
You walked me through my teenage years, making me love more and more what is my most precious passion. Thank you, Iwata :'(
That was very beautiful IGN, great job
Thank you Satoru Iwata for all the great games. You changed my life with your amazing company. Nintendo will forever be in my heart.
"Thanks for watching and see you next time"
Yeah... in the next life, I hope.

Rest easy friend. You were a huge part of my childhood and you made so many people around the world happy. R.I.P
"Thanks for watching and see you next time"
When he fade away i cried alot
He was responsible for my entire childhood experience with video games. What he made took me on adventures I'll never forget and made lifelong friends along the way. #ThankyouIwata Your time has come but your legacy is timeless.
You will be missed Iwata. Great video IGN.
Thank you Mr. Iwata, for the many years of Nintendo goodness, and for impacting many of our childhoods of gaming. You will be missed.
Seeing all the pictures of Super Nintendo World ready to open on February 4th...
And he isn't here to see it
:'(
From my age of 4 to my age of 24, rest in peace. You have brought me much joy through video games. Rest in peace, Satoru Iwata. ♡ my heart breaks for you and your family.
R.I.P Iwata. You will forever be missed.
This is the first tribute to him I have seen that made me cry. Thank you, IGN, for this. Mr. Iwata, I thank you for all you did. I almost feel as though things will never be the same.
Goodbye old friend...
Satoru Iwata has done so much for the great company of Nintendo. He programmed Earth Bound, created Kirby, Programed the battle mechanics of Pokemon Stadium, Made it possible to get Kanto in Pokemon Gold and Silver, even cut his pay check in half when Nintendo was going through a rough time instead of firing employees. Satoru Iwata was a great man that is well to be remembered. R.I.P. Mr. President.
A very nicely edited and thoughtful tribute to a truly wonderful person.
Thanks for ruining it with the hashtag at the end.
You're an idiot, dude that has been the hashtag since last night when everyone found out. Keep up buddy
Omg! This is so sad! For the first time in my life I gave an IGN video a like. R. I. P much respect! Dude gave me part of my childhood :)
Damn, I still miss him
His passing hit me hard today. Been close to tears all day and this video tipped me over the edge. RIP Iwata-San, you will be sorely missed
amar parvez can you help me if you know the name of the music
Te extrañaremos mucho Iwata R.I.P
Rest In Peace and thank you, Mr. Iwata. You are and always will be remembered for your work at Nintendo and your love for video games... : (
Press F to pay respects

。・°°・(＞_＜)・°°・。
Never knew an IGN video could make me cry. Props to whoever made this video. It made my day. Iwata was a great man. He will be dearly missed.
Ever since Iwata passed on, Nintendo's been corrupted at this point
Blaming his death won't make a difference
Corrupted isn't the word, more so....become hollow. It lost it's heart and soul. The source of that Nintendo magic. Sure Miyamoto still has it, but he can't carry the entire company like Iwata did.
After watching this, I had felt sadness, but at the same time I knew Iwata would not have wanted us to mourn over his death, instead let's celebrate his life and all the times he has made us laugh and smile and continue to be happy while gaming, because that's what he would've wanted in his final moment.

It feels like I lost a father, his creations have raised me and helped me in tough times r.i.p.
1:41 hits hard on the feels
i still can't get over the fact that Mr. Satoru iwata is really gone. you really created something very unique, atleast for me, Mr. Iwata. You created games that will always be in my heart, that changed my view on life. is it really about being successful? or is it about having fun, doing something with a burning passion, doing something because you WANT to do it? everything in my life is fueled by a passion, a passion to create something unique. i will never forget you, Mr. Satoru Iwata. Gaming Legend!
R.I.P.
i'm really left heartbroken to hear that satoru iwata is no longer with us. just thinking about all the small things in my life that are influenced by his work makes me really sad.
i never knew him personally, and neither did he know me. but our lives still crossed in some kind of way, through technology, through the creations he did - and i played them, with my friends, with my parents, and even with my son.
thank you, mr. satoru iwata. thank you for being one of us, for being a gamer. thank you nintendo for showing me the world of gaming, which is now a very big and important part of my life.
Man this is one of the saddest videos I've ever seen. I can't help but begin to cry.
And the violin and piano music doesn't help. Does anyone know the song's name?
Crystalwolf 953 any luck?
I feel so heart sick. We criticize him so much for not being successful with the Wii U that we forgot how unique he was and what crucial part he played in bringing us such special games and experiences. I feel like such a fool. I'm sorry, Mr.Iwata. You deserved more respect than I could ever give you.
