He was only 43 years of age.... if it wasn`t for Akira Saito-san, who I didn`t even know was the main programmer, I (probably) wouldn`t own ANY of Sega`s Mega Drive games via the Wii Virtual console service. You are in heaven now where my grandparents are (I now only have one Grandmother) , Satoru Iwata and many key figures of the industry. I will ensure that today I will play many Sega games in your honor, not original but virtual console ones you programmed. I may even have enough to download everyone now as I have roughly 16,000 Nintendo Wii virtual console points. Rest in peace Akira Saito-san , I wish all the very best for your family and friends.
"definite downloads!" I said, I will save my Nintendo Wii points instead, as there are many Sega Mega Drive games that remain for me to download. All great things must come to an end. I own Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Classic Collection by the way.
Nintendo Direct will NEVER be the same again. Will it be the same without Satoru Iwata san`s bow when he greeted? Will it be the same without his wave goodbye? Or HELL even the way he said "directly". Even his glasses (I wish I was never prescribed them by the way). Or even when he smiled slightly while waving in one of the last Nintendo Directs?
NEVERTHELESS, Nintendo Direct will continue. Shigeru Miyamoto should present them. My comment and the avatar, coincidence.
@Kirk did you know Shigeru Miyamato came to London, Piccadilly in 2003? I didn`t meet as I was probably at school and did n`t even know, it is very ironic, don`t you think?
@RyanCraddock I think there is a good chance they will be in London? am I right? Ironically in 2003, I had the chance to meet Shigeru ,but was unaware! I think I was at school that day, what a shame, the irony. you was surprised, the element of surprise must not be underestimated.
your surprise was 100% which, basically made it cooler.
I have more than enough stars, however I do not have the 107,150 or 107,250 stars I require for everything I desire (not including the download codes). Club nintendo will live on in the hearts and memories forever. and Nintendo VIP which I wish registered for years ago!
@Kirk I didn`t expect this news at all.
I actually cried a little. Upon learning the passing away of the voice actress
of Dexter from Dexter`s Laboratory, I couldn`t help but cry as she was young,
she seemed like a very nice lady. I felt as if a part of my childhood had died.
In case you don`t know her name was Christine Cavanaugh. She voiced one of the female characters in one of the Sonic series, Gossamer (from Darkwing Duck), one of the characters from `AAAHHHH! real monsters`, Chuckie finsterand Bunny from the Powerpuff Girls. I think it is times like these when one has to be most positive and basically remember everything good.
I can`t believe this. It hasn`t even been a few months since we all saw him at the last Nintendo Direct. Satoru Iwata - san thank you for all your work at Nintendo and Hal Laboratory, thank you for being so cool at the Nintendo Directs. Thank you sir for everything and ALL you did at Nintendo. I felt the pain over 16 hours late. Satoru Iwata rest in peace in the heavens in the afterlife with your family and the angels.

Re: Nintendo Direct Broadcasts Will Continue Despite Iwata's Passing
Nintendo Direct will NEVER be the same again.
Will it be the same without Satoru Iwata san`s bow when he greeted?

Or HELL even the way he said "directly".
Even his glasses (I wish I was never prescribed them by the way).
Or even when he smiled slightly while waving in one of the last Nintendo Directs?
NEVERTHELESS, Nintendo Direct will continue.
Shigeru Miyamoto should present them.

Re: Club Nintendo Goodbye Coin Now Available in Europe and Australia
@Baker1000 This is a late reply. My coin has been sold, I should have ordered it straight away! at least I save 2000 stars.
Re: Club Nintendo Goodbye Coin Now Available in Europe and Australia

Re: Club Nintendo Goodbye Coin Now Available in Europe and Australia
I would buy nearly everything if I was rich in stars!
Re: Club Nintendo Goodbye Coin Now Available in Europe and Australia
@Alundra-1998 That`s a good idea and it would be really cool.
This coin does evoke melancholy.
Re: Club Nintendo Goodbye Coin Now Available in Europe and Australia
@Baker1000 What is it you really want, out of interest?
Re: Club Nintendo Goodbye Coin Now Available in Europe and Australia
I have more than enough stars, however I do not have the 107,150 or 107,250 stars I require for everything I desire (not including the download codes).

Was the last photo the final taken of him?
Re: Editorial: Satoru Iwata Embodied The Playful Brilliance of Nintendo, and His Legacy Will Endure
@mariovslink62 Earthbound, I have yet to play it.
When I purchase my own Nintendo Wii U I will download it first.

Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55

Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55
@Diskach WHY?! I shed two tears. This shocking Mr Iwata was the same age as my uncle.
Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55

I meant, what did he say during the live stream?
I missed it all as I had class today.
Re: Gallery: Here's What The Nintendo World Championships 2015 Looked Like
@Kaze_Memaryu What did Shigeru Miyamoto say?
Re: Gallery: Here's What The Nintendo World Championships 2015 Looked Like
This event should have streamed earlier, owing to this I missed the whole event.
Re: Guide: Here Are the Live Nintendo-Related Streams We'll Share Today
It sucks that the event was streamed so late in the United Kingdom. I missed it all. I had class.
