Satoru Iwata no solo fue el exitoso presidente de Nintendo, fue también uno de las personas más populares en el mundo de los videojuegos. A raíz de su triste fallecimiento ayer, notables miembros de la industria de los videojuegos (y de otros sectores) le han estado rindiendo tributo.
Las banderas en la sede de Nintendo en Japón han comenzado a ondear a media asta:

La imagen de apertura corresponde al “Tribute to Mr. Iwata”, Brawl in the Family.
El creador de Smash Bros., Masahiro Sakurai, ha publicado el siguiente mensaje (debajo): “Hoy no es un día cualquiera, y mi estado mental tampoco es normal, pero voy a trabajar como si lo fuera, y como siempre, me dejaré llevar por el desarrollo de juegos. Esta era también la situación de Iwata-san. Hacer lo que necesitas hacer”.
ふつうではない日、ふつうではない心境ですが、ふつうに出社し、ふつうに開発に打ち込んでいます。それが岩田さんのためでもありますしね。なすべきことをします。

I am beyond heartbroken to hear about the passing of my friend Satoru Iwata. He was a gamer, a developer and a champion for our medium. RIP

Mr. Iwata cared about Nintendo. He lived for Nintendo. Times were tough, he cut his pay in HALF. "Iwata Asks" should be a book.

"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." – Iwata-san

Loved Mr. Iwata's quote. President as title, game dev's mind, gamers heart. Where's the tissue, I need it. Honestly.

Really sad to hear about Iwata-san's passing today. As a fan of Nintendo since the NES, my heart goes out to his family, friends, & fans.

I had the chance to meet Iwata-san at E3 one year, and he was such a gentleman as I fan boyed out. Today the industry lost a huge force. 😞

Sad day. Satoru Iwata has passed. I was lucky enough to be interviewed by him. He knew way more about dev than me. https://t.co/E9YRqPjfXe
