Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Dead at 55

Nintendo has confirmed, in a brief but to-the-point statement, that company president Satoru Iwata has died of bile duct growth at only 55. As of right now, very little else is know about the circumstances, but it goes without saying that our hearts go out to Iwata’s family.

Iwata was a director within the company since 2000. He will be remembered fondly.
