iwata was known to have been having health problems for the previous few years, beginning with his absence from e3 2014 to undergo surgery for the removal of what nintendo at the time reported as a bile duct "growth"

that surgical procedure was followed by rapid thinning, prompting further concerns from the media

[spoiler][/spoiler]

culminating with his final absence from this year's e3 just a few weeks ago

i suppose now we know it was cancer, as we silently feared since those first reports

Really sucks that his last event was met with such disapproval too.
Also, as Sam said in her post about this, "don't worry, we understand."  saddood;

the question now is, does the rest at nintendo understand

Kalahari Inkantation

remember his very last public announcement

QuoteWe take opinions of this year’s Digital Event seriously and will work to better meet your expectations.


can you imagine how he must have felt, knowing his own mortality was imminent, to be leaving such a legacy behind

this is horrible :(

nintendo's chillingly abrupt one-line announcement

in the interim, miyamoto and takeda will fill iwata's role

His accomplishments read like something you'd get if you asked a second grader what Lincoln did

1860: Elected president
1861: Went to war
1865: Freed slaves
1865: Dead
