Nintendo employees such as Reggie Fils-Aime, Shigeru Miyamoto and Bill Trinen have paid their respects to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata’s final resting place. Iwata has been buried at a Japanese temple in Nintendo’s home city of Kyoto. 3000 people have attended the site over the past few days. Visitors include Shigeru Miyamoto, former Sonic Team boss Yuji Naka and Q-Games’ Dylan Cuthbert. Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai also attended along with The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma and Platinum Games Hideki Kamiya. Veteran Nintendo director Genyo Takeda says that the company will continue complete the work that Satoru Iwata started and that the seeds that Mr. Iwata planted would one day grow into flowers “that will make people around the world smile.”
Thousands Of Nintendo Fans Come Out To Pay Respects At Iwata’s Funeral
Rest in peace… It’s still so, so sad…
>>>Hallowed is Lord Iwata>>>
I would have love to see the pics of the funeral. Rest in peace our dear friend.
Friend?
You hardly knew the guy..
I knew the guy…he did not knew me though.
Fair enough.
He’s officially free from this prison we call “Earth”.
Earth is of God. So that’s not correct. From the world is correct.
Earth is of chaos between good and evil. There’s no heaven or hell on Earth. Just chaos, fighting over petty reasons.
>>>There is nothing beyond life, only the void that every single lifeform will fall into once they are exterminated>>>
He’s no longer Earthbound.
It is time to get past the grievances and look toward the future of nintendo
i wish i could be there. R.I.P Iwata.
Rest in peace Iwata.
You did more for your company than any other developer ever did
I still really wish this was a bad dream… I’m gonna lose it when the next Nintendo Direct airs. I guess I’m not so tough after all…

Wow, det første gang jeg ser en Dansker på den her side xD
Rest In Peach Mr Iwata.
…….job well done!
Please, I do not understand.
Thank you, Mr. Iwata. Directly from the fans.
Rest in peace. Mr. Iwata. You did the best you could with Nintendo. Now your soul can finally find peace.
he without sin was rested to return to ever lasting life at e3 2016 in the name and glory NX
It just sucks that he won’t be able to reveal the NX, that he was so excited to reveal. R.I.P Mr Iwata.
Yea I know what you mean sucks but his legacy will continue and the future for Nintendo will grow bigger

This still feels so unreal to me. I wish my laughing at the news because I thought it was some lame prank, laughing at the guy that started the rumor, when I first heard it could still be laughing as it turned out this was nothing but some lame joke from some lame internet troll. Sadly, this isn’t the case. I hope they don’t do anything with the name “Nintendo Direct” in it for awhile because it will be painful to watch one without seeing Iwata pop up in it this soon after his passing. :/
RIP. LEGEND.
The legend is gone to a better place. May he watch over Nintendo in the future while he gets to game with Yokoi and Yamauchi in Heaven.

R.I.P Mr. Iwata, forever missed but never forgotten.
I don’t think the gaming world truly understands what they’ve lost yet. Nintendo fans do, the rest don’t.
Uh, in Japan their culture is almost always to cremate, burying someone is very rare. I’m pretty sure Iwata was cremated…
May his great soul Rest in Piece.
*peace
Those Pikmin he planted will eventually bloom!
His death still did not sink in. I don’t know when it will…
im glad alot of fans and developers pay there respect at iwata funeral i still feel bad for nintendo R.I.P iwata :-(
Hvil i fred, Iwata-san… du gav så mange gode minder til verden… tusind tak for det.
I still can’t figure out why they kept his cancer a secret? Why were they sugar-coating it? He HAD TO have known he was dying. Nintendo also HAD TO know. His death was even harder to take than it normally would have been because of nobody having a clue that he was dying. It was a low-blow to the entire gaming world.
This is just how most of Japan is. They try to keep their private lives private. Which sadly also includes their health if they actually have something like cancer. We just have to accept this is how it works for the most part in Japan.
>>>And most of the none western world, why the west have to be in everyone’s business is disgusting>>>
“…I wish to relay to you words that I recorded many times over the course of (y)our journey. Many have said them to you thus far, but I now wish to say them for myself… Thank you, Master Iwata. May we meet again in another life…”
I feel bad that my tears are only coming now, almost a week later, but at least they have.
Thank you, Satoru Iwata- your games truly were a labor of your love.
It’s gonna be depressing to not see his name at the end of Nintendo game credits for quite some time now…
Well we still have some time before his name is no longer at the end of game credits. There were still tons of projects being done even before his death.
I know, but when it *does* start happening… I’m probably gonna do a double-take the first few times at seeing a different name under Executive Producer.
I as well hope all of the seeds Iwata plants will blossom into flowers of prosperity for Nintendo.
…except that mobile game shit. That is a useless weed that should be pulled out from the roots.
