Satoru Iwata, best known as CEO bossman of Nintendo, passed away today due to a bile duct growth at the too young age of 55. 

Like millions of others, this death has shocked and upset me to no end. Mr. Iwata was a wonderful man who brought joy and laughter to many people, from starting out as a programmer to the head of Nintendo. He was undeniably one of the coolest and most passionate CEOs to ever grace the business world, going out of his way to enhance his English enough to bring us Nintendo Directs for years. 

You will be sorely missed, Iwata. Nintendo and the video gaming industry as a whole won’t be the same without you.
