My Nintendo News has an article with more info and pictures on the memorial at the Nintendo Store.

And this tweet has a collage of images from the Splatoon Miiverse.

A possibly common stereotypical image of a President/CEO of a company is a money-hungry person who does questionable business practices. However, this guy sounds like he was the opposite. May his death have been peaceful.

Nintendo has resumed posting to social media, with these two tweets, thanking fans for their support, and saying that they'll try every day to honor him and his creations.

The Majora's Mask one is kinda creepy :X


Is it the one where someone is holding his mask?

If that's the one then I'm with you on that one. But then again Z:MM was a creepy game anyway. But at the same time wearing one's mask gives you super powers. Wearing Iwata's mask can inspire one to be the next great innovator following in his footsteps. Surprised

I was emotionally impacted when I spent all of the late night viewed many fan arts of Mr. Iwata over on deviantART.
