Nintendo Flags Lowered To Half Mast

Nintendo has honoured Satoru Iwata’s tragic passing by flying their flags at half mast. The flags for the North American office and the Kyoto office are both flying at half mast to commemorate the Nintendo president on this sad day. Respects have been paid during the day from a number of video game executives including Xbox boss Phil Spencer and Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot.

    1. Sickr or anyone who posts on this site, what are you thinking about putting up a post on the Iwata Immortalization in Zelda U petition? Will you do it, please do, it would be the ultimate respect!

    1. Honestly. You’re a heartless bastard that has no sympathy which is incredibly sad. It’s sad how people like never take important things into consideration.
      I’d weep for you. But you’re not worth the tears.

    2. CAN YOU NOT SEE YOURSELF THATS HOW IDIOTIC YOU ARE
      THE WIIU IS WHAT A NINTENDO HATING INDUSTRY SAID IT WAS

      HOW ISVA PPC CPU ANDVA AMD GPU HARDTO DEVELOP YOU IDIOT

      TE INDUSTRY TOLD YOU A LIE YOU SWOLLOWED IT

      THE INDUSTRY SAYS THESE THINGS AS NINTENDO HAS UTTERLY FUCKED THEM OVER REPEATEDLY FROM THE MID 1980S TO DATE

      IWATA WAS BEHIND EII DISRUPTION THE MOST PROFITABLE ERA IN ALL GAMING HISTORY

      TE INDUSTRY HATED HIM

      WAKE UP YOU BRAINWASHED IDIOT

  3. THIS HAS EXPOSED SO MANY PEOPLE

    IWATA WAS A FAILER

    THIS GUY MADE MORE MONEY FOR NINTENDO WITH WII AND DS THAN ALL PROFITS IN GAMING IN ALL HISTORY COMBINED

    ALLLLLL HISTORY HE DESTROYED SONY AND THE PLAYSTATION BRAND

    PS3 LOST MORE MONEY THAN PS1 AND PS2 EVER MADE MULTIPUL TIMES OVER

    IWATA DID THIS HE DISRUPTED THE INDUSTRY IN REVENGE FOR TERE HATRED AND TOOK 99% OF ALL PROFITS AVALABLE ALL LAST GEN

    HE PLANNED THE BIGGEST FUCKING FACE SLAP EVER SEEN IN INDUSTRY

    LOL AT THE INDUSTRY SLAVES WHO HAVE NO CONCEPT OF REALITY,AND LOL AT THE VERY THIRD PARTYS WHO HATE HIM PRETENDING TO CARE

    HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON WITH NINTENDOS NEW UNIFIED STUDIOS BILLION DOLLAR DEVELOPMENT RESEACH CENTER

    AND NX

    YOU TRULLY ARE BLINDED

  4. RIP to Iwata, but cmon guys, the guy dies and all of a sudden your dicks get hard and buttholes get wet. Get over yourselves

    1. I was wondering when one of these comments would pop up. Go away & let people mourn Iwata’s passing. If it takes them days, so be it. Each person on earth handles death in their own time. Don’t force them to speed it up. It doesn’t make you look any more noble than any one else, & it only makes you look like a dick.

  5. Would it be in bad taste to have a picture of wreck it ralph, crash bandicoot, katamari’s prince and king, pac man, sonic, banjo, and master chief in line to console mario, luigi, peach, link, and zelda at a calling hours/service? Also, because I do not have any adobe products to make it, can someone please do it in my stead?
